I'm running such a setup, and it works fine for me. I expected problems when all servers are shutting down / restarting and verifying / updating files at the same time, but so far, no issue came up because of this. > BUT, what about for instance mapcycle.cfg or individual map .cfg files? mapcyclefile "mapcycle_of_your_server.txt" With individual map .cfg files I think you are out of luck. Same for different versions of maps (using the same map filename). You're running from one set of files, so these files are identical. In such a case you would have to emulate the map.cfg through some other means, for example using server plugins, or an external process that executes some commands via rcon depending on which map the server is running. I'm not using a single map.cfg file yet so it's not an issue for me. Not sure if I can think of a case where one map would need a special setting but not need the same setting for other servers. Also, the main reason I'm running the servers off the same set of files is not disk space, but performance. It's easier on the disk and file system cache, if only one set of files has to be worked with, than several. It's also faster to get only one set of files updated to the latest version, than having the steam process download the very same update for each set of files separately.
