Re: [hlds] [hlds_announce] TF2 SteamPipe beta update released. Forcing all clients to convert soon.
Has the rollout been done? My server host updated the servers last week, and even today I'm not able to connect to it as it's running a newer version of the game. HLSW shows it's on v1734533 is this right?

Your server host should update your server as there was a beta update within 2-3 days that you are now missing. Conversion is done, cliets are now in steampipe version. -ics Accid[e]nt kirjoitti: Has the rollout been done?

Re: [hlds] [hlds_announce] TF2 SteamPipe beta update released. Forcing all clients to convert soon.
There is no automated conversion process for servers. However, the install size is significantly smaller because we've removed all the texture and audio data. Each Source Engine game is now totally independent; there is no shared content. Everything the TF (or cstrike, hl2mp, dod) server needs is in a single install. Srcds.exe and hlds_linux go in the root, and there are tf (or cstrike, hl2mp, dod) folder underneath, and a hl2 folder for the shared content that is now duplicated for each game.

Forcing all clients to convert soon. Is there ever going to be an automated conversion process for servers, as this is turning into a big mess for my hosting company. Pretty much all customers have to reinstall their servers which just isn't feasible or we spend hours moving files around for each and every single customer. What is confusing me also is I notice new files under Tf2server1/Orangebox/tf and tf2server1/tf. What I like to know is, do we have to move everything back up a level to continue receiving updates to the right folders. Some clarification would be appreciated, as the game operators FAQ is lacking.
