I've installed the HLDS Update Tool and run it using the following command:
hldsupdatetool.exe -command update -game "orangebox" -dir C:\HL2DS
Everytime it downloads the files, it gets to ~95% done, downloads the file:
sound\weapons\underwater_explode3.wav
...and gets a "connection reset by peer."
Having done this 3 times (twice myself, and all 3 times on the same server) and having it always fail after this file it seems a little hard to believe that this is a server stress issue, or that there's a problem locally. Could there be an issue with the server hosting these files? Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Following the crash, a verify all runs through a selection of files and then reports that that everything is up to date. Running the dedicated server exe with the command line:
srcds.exe -game empires +maxplayers 14 -port 27015 -console +map emp_canyon -autoupdate
...results in a DOS prompt loading and promptly closing (the empires folder does exist and is in the orangebox directly, this same mod has worked on many other servers).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Where are you getting the game
