Issue

We reboot the server everyday at 06:00 (AM), but carbon does not update automatic

Platform

Carbon-specific:
Current version: 2.0.217.0

We use the commando: restart 600 "Daily restart of server" from rustadmin reboot the server.

I see the following the the log

You'll need to update manually off 2.0.217.0. It was released with the wrong protocol which is why it's not wanting to update. Once you do that auto update will work as expected going forward

I had the same problem with 216 -> to 217 and did a manual update to 217

#

srry, did not read that correct

All good. Once you do that should be all good. Don't panic either, any update done after wipe are usually minor bug fixes. Updates are not required for every server update like oxide

#

and again the same problem. It never auto updates.

#

Steps i do: first update rust then start the server

#

do i need to remove the .protocol file to correct it or something?

The remove of that file solved the not updating of Carbon.
