Why should the game be dependent on the SDK? Also, my monitor showed nothing as updating.
It shouldn't be dependant on it, I was just thinking out loud. I had already d/led the SDK, so it was updating itself.
I had HL2, CS:S and HL2:DM in my Monitor window while they were actually being d/led. I noticed that my total network usage was higher than the total for those three, so I checked the properties of the SDK and it made up the difference in the background without listing itself.
All software is updated 100% now, and like my edited post above says, everything is fubar.
