Also, there's probably no need to rename srcds.exe since it's pretty much never changed. But if you want to be safe, you can include it.

Rename orangebox\bin orangebox\tf\bin and orangebox\srcds.exe and the update should work. On Linux, you can even update while it's still running and the binaries that are in use will still get replaced. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of bl4nk Sent: Saturday, January 16, 2010 4:10 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] [TF2] Multiple Servers, one set of files You won't be able to do that though because they're in use. The answer is what was already suggested; stop all of the servers, run the update, and then start them all back up.
