Had the exact same problem, had to add the quotes to get it to work. Example: steamcmd.exe +login "anonymous" +force_install_dir "C:\yourserver\server1" "+app_update 232250 -beta prerelease" validate quit Notice the quotes between app_update and prerelease section, thats what I was missing. It should only download like 1 or 2 small files, start it up and try the commands again. -DragonLight Quoting scott biszmaier <[email protected]>: > so i've updated my server to the pre-release version and i'm getting this > when i try to test the new commands; > >> Unknown command "sv_compressfragments" >> Unknown command "sv_compressstringtablebaselines" > > > i get this when i run the version command; > >> Protocol version 24 >> Exe version 1756932 (tf) >> Exe build: 10:36:54 May 14 2013 (5287) (440) > > which is the pre-release version according to Peter > this in the command line i used to update the tf2 server; > >> steamcmd.exe +login anonymous +force_install_dir >> c:\games\tf2\test\SRCDS\orangebox +app_update 232250 -beta >> prerelease +quit > > suggestions? > > > > > scott biszmaier > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Peter Jerde <[email protected]> > To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list > <[email protected]> > Sent: Wed, May 15, 2013 11:26 am > Subject: Re: [hlds] Who do we send netspike.txt log too? > > > Are you sure you actually updated it? > > "cvarlist comp" should show you the two variables if you have the prerelease > version. > > Use the version command to make sure you're actually running the prerelease > version.
