server 21.1 not updating

Just use "app_update 294420" and you will get A21.1 stable. "-beta latest_experimental" should do as well (which is the usual line for getting experimental, where did you get the info you should use "-unstable" from) ?

 

Just checked myself, both lines above lead to A21.1 on my server.

Tried that, 3 times now, it is still on v21.1

 

Sorry I meant still on 21.0

 

There is a logs directory inside the Steam dir. Check the content_log.txt file to determine what it downloads and where to:

 

Search for all lines with "updated" in it. The last line in my case was

 

[2023-08-10 20:25:50] AppID 294420 starting commit from "/home/days/clean/steamapps/downloading/294420" to "/home/days/clean" : 12 updated, 0 moved, 0 deleted files

 

It shows you where it downloads to (in my case I changed it to a directory "/home/days/clean") and when (in my case I updated 2 days ago to the last experimental).

 

Compare to your expectations.

 

Hi, yes that was it, thank you very much, it was driving me nuts. My original folder was C:\ but it decided a better place was \steamapps\common\  lol.
