I can't understand WHY, my server isn't updating properly, i nuked the old server, deleted all files related to it, tried the update command with unstable branch on steamserver it did its thing and then proceed to recreate a server BUT, it's telling me it's in 42.15 version. I'm gonna ram my head into a concrete wall, EVERY single update fucks my server up ( no mods BTW) .

Would someone please help me please ?

what commands are you using exactly? cause it sounds like the server is not actually updating...

keen kernel
#

i launch steamserver.exe // login as anonymous // and "app_update 380870 -beta unstable validate"

sudden rune
#

using steamcmd.exe you must designate a filepath... not sure if its the same using the steamserver.exe i dont use it tbh...

have you successfully updated this server before now?

keen kernel
#

I haven't manage to sucessfuly upate the server so... what's the easiest/best way to update a hosted server ?

sudden rune
#

To Update the Server:
Stop the server completely.
Run steamcmd.exe.
At the Steam> prompt, type each line and press Enter after each:

force_install_dir C:\SteamServers\pz

login anonymous

app_update 380870 -beta unstable validate

quit

This is my server update cheatsheet for steamcmd...
your filepath will likely be different...
it will be wherever your StartServer64.bat is located

do i have to nuke my C:\SteamServers\pz ? (i have the same path

#

?*

sudden rune
#

i never do... it should convert everything

keen kernel
#

mmmh wierd :

#

and no, console say it's still 42.15

sudden rune
#

might need to nuke everything in the pz folder...

keen kernel
#

done! oh wow 6 Gb it's gonna take me a hot minute to rebuild the server

sudden rune
#

it should be redownloading everything for you, correct?
i may need to do the same when i actually go to update my server so im curious

keen kernel
#

correct me if i'm wron bug if i pu that :

#

%STEAMCMD% +login anonymous +force_install_dir "C:\SteamServers\PZ" +app_update 380870 -beta unstable validate +exit

#

in a .bat file, it should normaly automate the update process ?

sudden rune
keen kernel
#

Huh ... i might have spotted something ...

#

see, the line was copy pasted from my installserver bat file

#

and my path say "C:\SteamServers\PZ"

#

here's my server s location

#

it might come from PZ instead of pz don't you think ?

sudden rune
#

that PZ.bat looks like an update command but it's setup wrong

keen kernel
#

i'll update it

#

done

sudden rune
#

what did you do exactly? just reorder the commands?

keen kernel
#

yup

#

here's the script :

#

i just took a part of it to extract the command

#

Oh, we might be onto something there

sudden rune
#

so when you run that .bat does it update the server correctly?

sudden rune
keen kernel
#

i'll try

sudden rune
#

oh it wont... its wrong too

keen kernel
#

it worked, i'm in

#

You ! my man are a legend !

sudden rune

keen kernel
#

sudden rune
keen kernel

SET STEAMCMD="c:\SteamCMD\SteamCMD.exe"
%STEAMCMD% +force_install_dir "C:\SteamServers\pz" +login anonymous +app_update 380870 -beta unstable validate +exit

#

that way ?

#

well, it makes sens now that i see it

#

force install yeah but where dumie x)

sudden rune

should work assuming that is exactly how your files/folders are named, Caps matter of course...

anyway glad you got it running!
