Hey all, Is it normal for SteamCMD to delete files during the conversion process from HLDSUpdateTool? I kept seeing files vanish, so I put SteamCMD on the left side of my screen with my 'cfg' folder on the right, and after a few seconds of running SteamCMD on a directory that was previously updated by HLDSUpdateTool, the cfg files disappeared as if they were deleted.
According to this article<https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7388-QPFN-2491>it says files will only be moved, not deleted, but I have not found this to be true. I have had several other users ask me about this issue, too. I did some research with Process Monitor and found that SteamCMD does in fact overwrite the cfg files in addition to several others. Note the highlighted line here (SetRenameInformationFile): http://tinypic.com/r/9zn38m/5 So in the article's question "My XYZ file got deleted. Where did it go? The conversion process does not delete any user files." - this is technically true, however, the conversion process* *does *overwrite* files. User files outside of a specific set are not modified, like the 'addons' folder or 'server.cfg'. Thoughts?
