The '''Half-Life Dedicated Server Update Tool''' or '''HLDSUpdateTool''' is a tool to update [[Half-Life Dedicated Server|GoldSrc]] and [[Source Dedicated Server|Source]] dedicated servers. Note that many server downloads now use the newer [[SteamPipe]] content system, and so the older HLDSUpdateTool will provide an out-of-date server. In this case, use [[SteamCMD]] instead.

All games have been migrated from the deprecated HLDSUpdateTool to SteamCMD.

Limitations/Bugs

Icon-Important.pngImportant:HLDSUpdateTool was deprecated in early 2013 in favor of SteamCMD.
