Thanks... I'll take a look through the archives. I actually moved to a new directory, re-downloaded the update tool, and then pointed it to the original install directory for my server and it worked!

Re: [hlds_linux] L4D2 - STEAM validation rejected
Yes, I have tried removing the file completely. Also, after I edit the file to remove the extra characters, if I cat the file, it looks correct. As soon as I run the server and cat the file again, it once again has the ^...@. Seems pretty strange. Shane Arnold wrote: Have you tried removing the file altogether and creating a new one/trying again? What happens if you use another editor?

[hlds_linux] L4D - Odd Server Issues
Lately, my server has been doing strange things once in a while. I've only had this happen on No Mercy Versus so far, but that's about all we ever play on my server. Here are some of the things that will happen: -- Tank spawns at the very beginning of No Mercy 1 as soon as Survivors leave the roof. -- Required distance from Survivors for Infected to be able to spawn increases greatly. You have to go several rooms away to be able to spawn. -- Second team does not always get a tank, even though the first team did -- Sometimes a team will get two tanks in the same level -- Most of the time, a witch will spawn instead of tank for the second team My server is a vanilla server. I have run update and -verify_all several times, but the issue continues. If I restart the server, it fixes everything. However, a few days later it seems to happen again. Has anyone else seen this issue or have any ideas why it might be occurring?
