overgoat Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I attempted to update our dedicated server to 19.5 with the "app_update 294420" command and it appeared to download new components and update successfully, but after it completes the game still shows version 19.4 and won't let 19.5 clients connect. Attempting to run the command again gives "Success! App '294420' already up to date." Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SylenThunder Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 What platform are you on? What is the full command you are running? Have you cleared the SteamCMD download cache? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overgoat Posted May 31, 2021 Author Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) The system is a Win10 Pro VM dedicated for the server with no other apps running on it (dual processor/32GB RAM) Full command is "app_update 294420" from the steamCMD prompt. Also attempted "app_update 294420 -beta" with the same results. Steam>app_update 294420 Success! App '294420' already up to date. I'm familiar with clearing the download cache on the client side, but I'm not sure how to do on the server and a quick Google only showed client side instructions. Could you point me to directions on clearing the download cache? Edited May 31, 2021 by overgoat (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SylenThunder Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 So you aren't even telling it where to install the client? Using -beta would require an added value for the tag. Normally your command should look similar to this... D:\steamcmd\steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir "D:\7dtdServer" +app_update 294420 -validate +quit Cache should be in \SteamCMD\depotcache Remove the files there, and it will force it to re-pull the data from the depot on the client. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamida Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I am curious. I have set up dedicated servers on my extra home pc and I have never used the command above. I have always used just the dedicated server set up in steam. Is there an advantage to doing it the way above? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allows download without having a Steam account. Works on headless servers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works on headless servers. I thought once I had it up and running I turned off steam on the server. Not sure now. I don't think I could be logged in on 2 computers so it would stop that steam anyway when I started up 7 days on my computer I use to play on.

unholyjoe Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) this is only a test... for verification. curiosity got the best of me. i installed the steam version of the dedi not via steam cmd. started it up, joined it no issues, logged out, then shut down steam ... dedi keeps running so its not dependent on steam being up. of course i cant hop into it as my steam is down so will try my wifes account... i am able to connect to my dedi as expected. so even tho i used the install from steam interface, its still a stand alone program that does not require steam to be up and running.

Right, but with SteamCMD you don't have a Steam client wasting disk space. 😛 208MB vs 1.59GB Edited June 1, 2021 by SylenThunder (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! It worked! I was running the commands directly from the SteamCMD command prompt rather than the Windows CMD prompt which may have been the problem. The update appeared to be run exactly the same, but for some reason running it from the Windows command prompt finally took it to 19.5. Thanks very much for the help.

Nagano Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 I have the same issue now, tried to force an update but nothing showed up. Then i reinstalled everything but still won't load 19.5. Tried it over SteamCMD and Steam. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which operating system, where is you install dir, what exactly did you do, what exactly did happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
