The question becomes whether the ?autoupdate flag will work with GO. Assuming that it does, it will be normal for the mods to be manually or scripted redistributions in the case of crashes after an update since auto-update for things like Sourcemod can and does fail after some Valve updates of the server.
The ability to redistribute new Valve updates without smashing customer configs is not only a time consuming and expensive thing, but is fraught with peril due to the consistent changes that occur across product and mods as well as the mods now having their own auto-update. Having an anonymous login for the install seems like a good idea from a security perspective. Having ?autoupdate work seems to resolve this mail thread.

There really is no need for that, and it's simply stopping 99 other potential users from updating their installations in a quick timeframe.

I don't really understand the relation between your post and the topic. it's simply a usability problem for every server hoster or gsp when they have to update multiple servers with a single steam account and a login limit of 1. it could take a lot of time to update all of them. Sure, creating one installation and copying the files to the servers would be the best solution then, but not all hosters are using this method atm. -----Original Message----- From: csgo_servers-bounces at list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:csgo_servers-bounces at list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of AeroliteGaming.com Sent: Monday, May 14, 2012 10:38 PM To: csgo_servers at list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [Csgo_servers] CSGO Update server tool It's his saigns pay to cheat servers so he will fill it with bots.
