 1. Follow these steps to get steamCMD installed and HLDS updated in it: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD
 2. You'll want to run `app_update 90 validate` multiple times in steamCMD to install HLDS and fully update it, as it won't completely do it the first time.
-3. Copy the `ns` directory into the `hlds` directory after installing HLDS from steamcmd
-4. For Linux servers:
+   - **NOTE:** Please use `app_update 90 -beta steam_legacy validate` until the mod is updated for the HL 25th aniversary release.
+4. Copy the `ns` directory into the `hlds` directory after installing HLDS from steamcmd
+5. For Linux servers:
    - Remove or rename the `libstdc++so.6` in the `hlds` directory so the linux distro's can be used instead. The one steam provides is outdated. You may need to rename the `libgcc.so.1` file in the same directory as well.
    - 32 bit C libraries might need to be installed. Try `apt-get install libc6-i386` if on debian or ubuntu. The libm.so.6 from it may need to be placed in your HLDS folder if you cannot install that package.
