Servers not updating to new version

A new update (0.9.3) is available now!
    • New

    I'm not sure what is going on, but the last update(s) are showing my servers in red on the multiplayer. I have done updates via WindowsGSM and steamCMD and can't seem to get them to update. Two out of three show different lines of text in the console like it is "new" but one still will not update in any way. I tried the "app_update 339010 -validate" in steamCMD and it loaded and that doesn't work. I have verified the files in steam, I have "update and validate" in WindowsGSM, I have restarted computer, restarted windowsGSM, restarted Steam, sold my soul to the Devil and nothing seems to work.


    Has anyone else have an idea why this is not working properly or know the super secret solution?


    two servers give me this:



    And the one that refuses to update in any way gives me this:

    I host my server via GTX. I always have to trigger the updates myself there and use a button to clear the Steam cache beforehand; otherwise, nothing gets updated.

    Unfortunately, though, I can't tell you exactly what that button does to make it work.

    In the Steam client settings, under "Downloads," there is also an option to clear the download cache—I don't know if the two are related.

    I triggered update, update validate, restart everything and I did do that cache clear like you mentioned and still not work. I redid SteamCMD, "app_update 339010 -validate" and still wont get the game update.

    Sorry for my late response! This is unfortunately a known issue in SteamCMD :/ You can try this workaround:

    1. Start SteamCMD and enter login anonymous
    2. Enter app_info_update 1
    3. Enter app_update 339010 validate
    4. Enter quit

    If that doesn't help, close SteamCMD and delete the "appcache" folder in the SteamCMD directory, then try to update the server again.


    Please let me know if that works :)

    Hmm... this might be related to WindowsGSM then. Probably it uses a different path for SteamCMD (so deleting the appcache had no effect). Try to check if there is an "appcache" folder under "WindowsGSM/installer/steamcmd/" and delete it.

    It might also be necessary to explicitly set an install dir in SteamCMD (because if you manually launch SteamCMD, it writes into its own "steamapps" folder instead of the WindowsGSM server folder. You can set an install path with the force_install_dir command (you have to call this before calling login. Set the install dir specifically to "/WindowsGSM/servers/<number>/serverfiles".


    If it still doesn't work, you can check the file "WindowsGSM/servers/<number>/serverfiles/steamapps/appmanifest_339010.acf" with a text editor. Can you post the lines "buildid" and "StateFlags" here? Maybe also enter app_info_print 339010 in SteamCMD and post a screenshot or the output here :)

    This happened to me too. It appeared that SteamCMD’s existing app manifest had become stuck or was preventing the update from completing correctly.

    I closed SteamCMD, located the following file in the steamapps folder:


    appmanifest_339010.acf


    I renamed it to:


    appmanifest_339010.acf.old

    I then restarted SteamCMD and ran the update command again:


    app_update 339010 -validate

    After doing that, SteamCMD recreated the manifest and the update completed successfully.


    I would recommend renaming the existing file rather than deleting it, so you still have the original available if needed.

    I tried that and it did not work. crap. I also uninstalled steam and steamcmd and re installed both and still.....no work.

    Tried all that and that did not work.

    Thanks! According to this data, server 1 was last updated on May 14, while server 2 und 3 were updated on September 2 (to 0.9.3) :thinking: This doesn't look like a cache problem.


    This might be a silly question, but is the server really turned off? Maybe the server is still running in the background (which prevents SteamCMD from updating the files).


    Another silly question: is there enough free disk space available?


    If it doesn't help, please do this:


    NOTE: I'm not sure where WindowsGSM is installed. I just assume it's installed under "C:/WindowsGSM". If not, please update the path in step 2, 3, 5 and 8

    1. Open the Windows Command Prompt (cmd)
    2. Enter cd /d "C:/WindowsGSM/installer/steamcmd" to switch to the folder of WindowsGSM SteamCMD
    3. If cmd is in the correct folder, enter steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "C:/WindowsGSM/servers/2/serverfiles" +login anonymous +app_status 339010 +quit
    4. Please copy and paste the full output here (alternatively post a screenshot)
    5. Now enter steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "C:/WindowsGSM/servers/2/serverfiles" +login anonymous +app_update 339010 validate +quit (without restarting/closing CMD)
    6. Copy and paste the full output here (or a screenshot)
    7. Now navigate to "C:/WindowsGSM/installer/steamcmd/common/" and check if there is a "RisingWorldDedicatedServer" folder. When was this folder last modified (according to Windows)?
    8. Please open the acf-file under "C:/WindowsGSM/servers/2/serverfiles/steamapps/appmanifest_339010.acf" with a text editor. Please post the content of that file here


    That should provide enough information about what's really going on there :)
