Use directory traversal and navigate to the HLServer directory (cd \HLServer) Type in just ‘h’ or ‘HldsUpdateTool’ and then repeat tab through the files till you get the exe (./steam for Linux users). After a space, enter command update -game.

Substitute with the game that you wish to host (it can be "dmc", "cstrike", "dod", "tfc", "ricochet", "Counter-Strike Source", "hl2mp" or "valve"). Type - dir x:\hlserver and press enter.

(Ex: HldsUpdateTool -command update -game cstrike -dir c:\hlserver) If everything works fine this far, the files required to run the server should now be installing. When this gets completed, create a shortcut of hlds.exe on the desktop and go into its properties. Put the shortcut in the start-up directory.

This way, the server will be reloaded even if the computer crashes. Go to the end of the address in the target line, and then add -console -game +maxplayers +map. This way, every time you load the HLDS with the shortcut, you will be opening it in a console, implying more CPU power and less memory usage.
