Ok as per instructions from loads of different sites and the tutorial on here, to make my tf2 dedicated server(very useful btw, but i cant seem to cope, and my old css server never got this problem)
downloaded the hldsupdatetool
made the .bat file
---- my update.bat at the moment (ive tried variations from different explanations) is:
hldsupdatetool.exe -command update -game tf -dir C:\HLserver
(may be wrong but like ive said i cant remeber what is started at)
now heres the snag, on running the update.bat i made it says
failed to connect to any GeneralDirectoryServer, WinSock error 10061 "connection refused"
Now my port fowarding is all done and ive looked on websites that list this with no explantions apart from "now it fixed itself" which is no use to me and "reinstall steam" which hasn't helped either.
Thanks in advance whether i get it working or not, its just ive looked all over the place for an answer and this looks like my best bet.
Cheers, Rich
EDIT: Just thought i'd add the contents of the folder, its HLDSUpdateTool.exe|Install.log|Unwise.exe|readme|update.bat|ClientRegistry.blob
ps. Sorry if its in the wrong place Mr./Mrs. Admins...
