I just ran hldsupdatetool, and now my srcds/hl1mp server will not start.
Anyone else running a dedicated hl1mp source server, and have you ran
hldsupdatetool lately? I'm dead in the water until I figure out what
changed.
The specific error is: Engine Error, NUM_FOR_EDICT: bad pointer

If you cant,don't know how or feel that its too hard update your PC manually
then you shouldn't be running a PC in the first place. I do not use
auto update and never have used the feature and what is more I have also
never used the System
Surprised you are not using the cURL library to handle downloading like

We are working on a fix for the problem, should have something next
week. The bug is that the IE7 COM control now returns corrupt data
ocassionally for the document complete event, we are writing code to
counter that.

Facts are wonderful things! Thank you. My apologies to Valve. This is
definitely a Microsoft induced BUG not a feature change.

Hello,
Actually looking at the user-supplied fix shows you it's a registry
change which is relevant to the Steam client, nothing to actually do
with Source (client side or server side).
And further investigation shows that the particular registry key is used
by the Steam client to remember the la
for me it's not important who is guilty - but it's a fact that with IE 7
(which will come on most gamers machines soon automatically) the
fast-download is not working without manual change.
other question - why is the built-in download from steam so slow and
awfull? if this would be faster, we eve
Depends whether Valve is using a feature of IE that was guaranteed to
never change. Otherwise, with no contractual obligation, it is up to
Valve to keep up with changes. My bank, for example, tests for the
presence of IE6 and tells me to upgrade to IE6 when I'm running IE7.
Who is responsible?

Great Idea, but first we need some microsoft software without bugs to be
patched, or a third party that will patch them for us.

So you would like to explain a few million gamers how to disable
auto-update from Windows and that they have to update their machines
then manually every few weeks? ;-)
The only working solution could be that fast-download works without any
manual work from a gamer. I'm quiet sure that MS will not
