I think that has something to do with the clients. Would probably be best to take it up with linux@valvesoftware.com though

It downloads DLL's here too, maybe it is just a mistake in this case.

My server is running Folding@home (the Source DS ain't used that much), and the executable it runs by is called Fah_Core.exe (though it's the right client for Linux), it is perfectly possible to give files such "Windows-related" extensions. Maybe those DLL's are just named like that for convenience?
May the Source be with you...

it uses those dlls to compare version of client/server like client.dll server.dll and perhaps even more Smile

and no they dont get used, linux uses the .so files Wink

I noticed that when I start the server, it mentions the .dll file, so I guess its normal. I'm running FreeBSD.

probably the same reason why it downloads the .so files on the windows version
