[hlds_linux] Region settings on hldsupdatetool

2011-02-07 Thread Christoffer Pedersen
Hi. I have a problem with my hldsupdatetool (./steam). Whenever I try to update my installations, I have to cross the atlantic to download the files. I live in Denmark, and my server is also located there, so I don't understand why I can't download the files from some European content servers.

You can do Steam.cfg next to your Steam binary and into that, put this line: PreferredContentServerIDs = "150 97 98 113 114 80 94" Where the numbers are content server numbers from http://store.steampowered.com/stats/content/ -ics 7.2.2011 20:26, Christoffer Pedersen kirjoitti: Hi. I have

This does not seem to work. I have chosen number 175 and 176 which is located in Denmark and also 87, 88 and 89 which is in Germany but it still connects to a U.S. address (65.113.241.38) /Chris Sendt fra min iPhone 4 Den 07/02/2011 kl. 21.00 skrev ics : > You can do Steam.cfg next to your St

I'm not a unix guru but can't you forward 65.113.241.38 to the Denmark content servers ALA Windows HOSTS file? Hacky, but a fix nonetheless Thanks, - Saul. On 7 February 2011 20:28, Christoffer Pedersen wrote: > This does not seem to work. I have chosen number 175 and 176 which is > located i

The numbers on the web page are not the same. You can see the real numbers somewhere in the Steam client log, but don't ask me where. You can do Steam.cfg next to your Steam binary and into that, put this line: PreferredContentServerIDs = "150 97 98 113 114 80 94" Where the numbers are conten

Ronny, that's because some of the content servers are not within the country they are listed being in. For example content server 150 should be in finland but if nothing has changed since i last checked, it's physically somewhere in netherlands or germany. Propably due to bandwidth being more c

I also don't think that the danish servers are located in Denmark, as we have some of the most expensive bandwidth in the world. I might then think it would be better, maybe to add the german or netherlands servers as well, as one of my ISP has direct connections to the ams-ix. I have tried t

We in Australia usually have poor download speeds; I assumed it was because we seem to connect to slow servers when an update is released. It's confusing and a bit of a shame because the Steam client updates the game really quick, but game servers can take a half hour. - Andrew -Original Mes
