Other information
Source Dedicated Server
- Works with multiple Source-based games.
- See the "Source Dedicated Server", "SteamCMD" (for most Source games), or "HLDUSUpdateTool" (for games which haven't received updates for a while) articles on the Valve Developer Community Wiki for more information.
- See also the the Steam Support article for setting up a Source Dedicated Server through Steam and the article on setting one up stand-alone.
Launch and command line options
- Can be used to increase performance in Source-based games and fix various problems.
- Longer launch options can be stored in an
autoexec.cfg
(without the-
prefix and with every command on its own line) in the game's config folder for easier readability and editing. Starting the game with the-autoexec
command is required. - See the "Command Line Options article on the Valve Developer Community Wiki for more information.
