I had this issue of 100% cpu usage. Run ./steam first, let it timeout and then the line what you are trying to. Otherwise the Steam does it's thing.

Any path, other than . or . equivalent (fully qualified path), relative to the steam binary, seems to send CPU to 100% and steam does nothing.

This is almost certainly a stupid coder bug in Steam. It won't install anywhere but the steam current working directory relative to the steam binary.

FYI, yes I have deleted ~/Steam and ~/.steam and tried again.

Why don't you specify a path, other than . or ./blabla? Like
/home/user/server/hl2mp into the -dir option.

Hello

I'm doing this;

sudo -u steamuser ./steam -command update -game hl2mp -dir
./hl2mp-whatever

And, my CPU core goes to 100% and the command does nothing. I have to
TERM it to stop, and no files have been created.



sudo -u steamuser ./steam -command update -game hl2mp -dir .

This works fine.



Is the steam binary too stupid to install anywhere but the local
directory? If so, why offer the -dir argument?

So, I guess if I want multiple servers installed, I need multiple
directories each with their own steam binary? That's the impression
that I am getting.

I'm a noob at Steam servers/HLDS, so maybe this is just common
knowledge, but googling didn't find me anything on the subject, and
I've read multiple how-tos that mentioned using a specified "-dir
./whatever".

It's noteworthy that I did install some game servers in a "-dir tf2"
recently, so I know it's not completely broken, it wasn't in previous
steam binary versions.
