C:\hldsupdatetool\ In there I have the exe and a batch file for each server that throws the cmd to update for each individual folder HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game tf -dir C:\srcds1 HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game tf -dir C:\srcds2 ect ect... some people (like myself) wrote batch files in automate the update process and if you run the hldsupdatetool.exe and it isn't in the folder you just executed it out of, it causes strange behavior with the orangebox folder. -Steve > This is a multi-part message in MIME format. > -- > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > I've been reading these posts about the directory problems that seem to > occur when updating TF2.
