Have you put the hldsupdatetool in your monitor folder on your servers?

Have you put the hldsupdatetool in your monitor folder on your servers?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

where is the monitor folder, at the mo hldsupdatetool is in

 

 

 

ClientsName\GameServers\TC****\hldsupdatetool.exe

[studeggle]

Your monitor folder is where the tcadmin's actual files reside. Not your clients files, or your preconfigured games. You should see a folder titled monitor.

[ECF]

C:\Program Files\Tcadmin Control Panel\Monitor

 

 

 

This folder is located on both master and remote servers. you must have a copy of hldsupdatetool in each.

sorry diff guy started the thread for us

 

 

 

THe correct file is in the monitor folder

 

 

 

We tried to do a manual after the update as we couldn't get the servers to show on the desktop to see what was going on

 

 

 

As soon as we tried a manual update we saw the error

[ECF]

So clarify this. Did you clcik the STEAM Update button in the panel, or are you running the hldsupdatetool manually on the server?

[24play1]

tried Steam update button first

 

 

 

worked for all of one I think problem free

 

 

 

next one took 3 attempts

 

 

 

the others have this error. On the ones that are producing the error the panel was saying its running but we couldn't see it up. We set it to run on desktop but that made no diff so I logged onto the box and created a batch file to run in the game folder itself. Then we saw this error

[ECF]

There has been a problem with the hldsupdatetool not properly updating itself since the last steam update.

 

 

 

To correct this please see this thread and follow the instructions. Then re-run the STEAM updates via TCAdmin.

I got the same error on one server all i did was reboot the server and it cleared up that error

[24play1]

the entire box?

[Greatlake]

yep that was the only way i could clear the error

[24play1]

I just did a quick test after following the instructions from the link on ECF's post and it seems to have worked as one of the problem servers is now running fine

[ECF]

Luis is still working on this issue as it seems to have more than one prblem with it. 1 is with TCAdmin and the other with the HLDSUpdatetool.

 

 

 

He is making progress and thinks he has found both issues, but needs to test it further before putting out an update.

[24play1]

thanks for letting us know

 

 

 

Hows the Insomnia coming along?

[ECF]

I will sleep this weekend. I really need some

[24play1]

lol uve just tempted fate

[ECF]

OK, Luis has tracked down the problem with the HLDSUpdatetool.

 

 

 

We apologise for the problems it has caused with this latest update.

 

 

 

Unfortunately, STEAM had changed the way the tool updates itself a couple updates back. It took a little bit of time to reproduce the problem on our end, since our test server updated itself fine.

 

 

 

Luis is working on a fix for this that should be released tomorrow.

 

 

 

If anyone still has any un-updated servers, I would suggest grabbing the patch file that we created which is located in this thread: http://www.tcadmin.com/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=822& start=0&rid=2

 

 

 

You can use the batch update system to update any or all of your server by publishing the patch in your panel.
