I recently setup a TF2 server but do not have an update.bat script or any other way of updating. What the easiest way to update the servers? It's a vanilla TF2 server with no 3rd party maps.

Your server needs to be restarted in order to receive the latest update.

Great question!

Here's what I do to update my Windows TF2 Dedicated Server. I have a folder called "C:\STEAMCMD" that has all of my STEAMCMD files, including these two below:

I made a file called "update.bat" that contains this info:

PHP Code:

steamcmd +runscript tf2update.txt 


I made a file called tf2update.txt that has this info:

PHP Code:

login anonymous 
force_install_dir C:\TF2Server 
app_update 232250 validate
quit 


When I want to update, or validate an update, I go to a command prompt and type:

PHP Code:

cd\steamcmd
update 


That's it.

I hope this helps.

I use same method like PC Gamer.

steamcmd.exe set into G:\server\steamcmd\ folder

Using batch file steamcmd_run.bat

@echo off
echo.
echo SteamCMD started!
echo.

steamcmd +runscript update.txt

echo.
echo SteamCMD finished!
echo.

timeout /T 5 /nobreak

And update.txt looks now like this

login anonymous

@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType windows

force_install_dir "../Counter-Strike Global Offensive"
app_update 740 validate

//force_install_dir "../Counter-Strike Source"
//app_update 232330 validate

exit

...you can change "platform type" to Linux and download Linux srcds files. For searching signatures and else.
