Hi,
I am using the following command line to download the content for tf2
C:\Games\HLServer\HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game tf -dir
c:\games\TF1
When I have a fresh install of C:\Games\HLServer\HldsUpdateTool.exe the
following file structure is created in my c:\games\TF1 folder:
C:\Games\TF1
C:\Games\TF1\hl2
C:\Games\TF1\orangebox
C:\Games\TF1\orangebox\tf
C:\Games\TF1\InstallRecord.blob
However, if I run the update a second time using the same command line the
following file structure is crated with an additional tf folder:
C:\Games\TF1
C:\Games\TF1\hl2
C:\Games\TF1\tf <- new folder
C:\Games\TF1\orangebox
C:\Games\TF1\orangebox\tf
C:\Games\TF1\InstallRecord.blob
All the content is re-downloaded and placed into the C:\Games\TF1\tf
instead
of the C:\Games\TF1\orangebox\tf folder.
Is this by design, or is there a problem somewhere thats causing this
repeat
of content?
If I delete the C:\Games\HLServer\ClientRegistry.blob file, it happily
puts
the content back into C:\Games\TF1\orangebox\tf for one time only, then it
goes back to putting it into C:\Games\TF1\tf
Am I doing something wrong, or are other people experiencing this problem,
if it is in fact a problem?
Thanks

I have refreshed my install a few times and have not had the /tf folder
created. Not sure. I am also getting good download speeds, I know some
people have had slow download issues.

I had this happen to me before. But in my case it created the Orange Box
folder and then attempted to redownload everything into it. SO I canceled
it
and just moved the 1st tf folder into the orangebox folder and it verified
it from there on. I am guessing the directory structure has been changed
after the 1st phase of the content download.

Does anyone know if tf2 will be available as a seperate download, just

they did with hl2 dm , or will this be exclusively an orangebox product
where if the person that wanted tf2 would have to purchase the entire
orange
box. Users in my forum were asking, if anyone could help answer that it
would be appreciated thanks in advance.

As far as I know, you don't get the beta if you buy TF2 on its own.

You are NOT paying to play the beta, you are paying for a *pre-order* of
the games and the beta testing is an option for those of us who would
like to participate - it is basically a closed beta for the ones that
have bought the orange box. If you want to, you can of course wait till
the game is fully released and pick up a copy then, no one is forcing
you to pre-order and/or play the beta. Heck, there might be guest passes
available for TF2 at the point of release too, meaning you can get to
try the game if one of your friends are kind enough to give you a pass.
Either way, I can't really see why you should have any reason to moan.
Personally I am confident I will like the game, and I see no problems
what so ever in spending $45'ish for the orange box pre-order. If you
are not, simply don't! ;)
