The only way we have managed to get the cmd "update" tool to run successfully is by creating a script, which was the norm anyway. So that's fine but again I wonder about the fastdl folder tree and whether we need to put everything into successive folders as outlined previously. It would be good however to make sure we are all on the same page whether running i.e FF2, DB what the folder structures there should be - examples would be nice, materials, models, sound,etc ( I just want to make sure tbh) and how to retriculate on the fastdl too. Also on that note I presume the console in future will auto update on map change or when _restart is provided? Hence bypassing starting the steam cmd anyway...
