We are having difficulties in installing several games. We tried using the hldsupdatetool procedure but failed. How do we go about this?

Call of Duty 4 (5.3 GB)
HL1 (GoldSrc)-based games (1.5 GB)
Left4Dead2 (7.9 GB)
Left4Dead (3.5 GB)
Source and Orangebox-based games (6.3 GB)

Post-install on an unmanaged Windows VDS, you should be able to install all but CoD4 through HLDSupdatetool with commands like these:


This would give you TF2 and CS:S in c:\Game installs\sourcebase\orangebox, CS 1.6 in c:\Game installs\hldsbase, Left4Dead in c:\Game installs\l4dbase\l4d, and Left4Dead2 in c:\Game installs\l4d2base\left4dead2. If you need other games, this command will show you a list of what can be downloaded:


If you want to install Garrysmod or a 3rd-party mod, note that they won't coexist with TF2/CS:S/HL2MP/DODS in the same folder, and would need to be installed with a different "-dir" option.

For CoD4, you'd need to upload your full client folder to the server. Alternately, you could install the Steam client on your server, and download through that.

I put those codes in a file and saved it as bat. but it doesn't do anything.

It would be best to run these by typing them in. Go to Start->Run->cmd.exe and then enter them at the command line that pops up.

So far it has created the directories in c:/game installs. However when I tried to exec command "c:\game installs>hldsupdatetool -command update -game tf -dir sourcebase, it says

connection reset, winsock error 10054 "connection reset by peer"

It's normal for it to say that, but after it downloads a number of files. Did it download the files?

No. It doesn't download the files. Can you have a staff to take a look at this and attempt to download it?

I'm having the same problem with my VPS.
Not sure why, but I looked all over the place and couldn't find any appropriate solution.

Any help?

Maybe not, I'unno. Depends.

Please post the full output that you are seeing here. To do this, right-click on the command prompt window's title bar and select Edit->Select all, then hit enter. This copies it to the clipboard, and you can paste it into your post.

I managed to fix it... Somehow.

I put the hldsupdatetool directly into C:\ instead of where it was by default on install, and it works now. I'm confused, but eh... I'm happy!

HLDS doesn't like sub directories. I've always placed it in the main drive.

I have always put it in a subdirectory and it has always worked fine for me, so this is a bit of a mystery. The only immediate guess that I have is that it now doesn't like the " " in "Game installs", but if so, this would have to be a new bug, as it worked properly when I tested it previously.

Still not working for me

Please try deleting the ClientRegistry.blob file in your "c:\game installs" folder, as this may help. Also, you might try re-downloading the hldsupdatetool from here: http://storefront.steampowered.com/down ... tetool.exe
