Good morning,

How will we know when the update for other games for missing texture error
is available? Will CS:S update automatically?

Alright thanks.

Is there anyone on this list who has made an auto update feature that they are willing to share?

Cheers,

There is no built in autoupdate functionality, although server hosts may have some scripts that they use.

I opted out, restarted steam and I am still getting those texture missing
errors. I also tried opting in for Steam beta and also prerelease beta for
CS:S, all of this is still giving me those texture errors. Does anyone else
get the same errors as me with the todays release?

IIRC you need to opt out of the beta after the latest update to use the SDK

Is it still happening with this update?  There was a hammer fix, it didn’t make it into the release notes.
 
There’s no need to opt into the sdk beta branch anymore.  The tools are just shipping with the game.  Opt out of all betas, sync the latest, and run the hammer.bat.  Does it work.

Hey fletcher, on the tf2 sdk beta the compilers are broken, they are  showing tool brushes as regular brushes and compiling full bright.

Some people are using the old sdk to compile and the beta to map. Unfortunately the workaround needed to compile with the old sdk doesn't work for everyone.
