SteamCMD AutoUpdate need help

[Mannot74]

Hi !!

I tested your script from "steamcmd"
It seems to validate and download an update, but it does not stop and does not restart the server, it does not send a chat message, and there are some errors ..
I tested with a server "RUST" and a server "Conan Exile" ..
Can anyone help me?
If yes I could specify and post my settings .. (sorry for bad english)

I tried with login anonymous and login with ids

My settings :

:: This is the app ID of the game server you are installing / running ::

:: This is the app ID the url will check for updates on that game ::
:: Some games this is the same as the installation appid other games it is a different numeric value ::
:: if your latest-version.txt file is empty you need to make this value different to the installation appid, just go to the steam store page and get the appid from the end url ::

:: Automatic Updating Interval (in seconds) this will set how often you check the steam servers for a new update ::

:: "srcds.exe has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program" ::
:: With the following setting the script will prevent all these errors and get your server back online as soon as a crash occurs ::
:: set to false to disable this feature ::
:: Use -nocrashdialog in exe_path to also help suppress server crashes ::

Did you try using the CURL version of the script instead it tends to work better.

The steamcmd.cmd version needs a few updates and bug fixes I have not got around to yet the steamcmd.cmd script is a stripped out bare knuckle version of the steamcmd-curl.cmd it does not have requirements / rely on dependencies to run like Powershell, VBScript and the CURL program. The steamcmd.cmd script only relies on VBScript nothing else making it lighter.

Just use the CURL script and all should work fine they both function the same.

Also I can't tell maybe you did it for this public post but do make sure you acquire and input your Steam DEV API key into the batch file for the auto updater to communicate with the steam master servers.

Another thing I noticed was this.

set exe_path=C:\ConanexileTEST\ConanSandboxServer.exe -log -MULTIHOME=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx?QueryPort=29016?ServerName="[EU/FR]-[PVP] System Of Gaming - The Cimmerian"?MaxPlayers=70

I never did test when I made this how it would react to quotation marks but my understanding of command line scripting tells me you should be escaping those quotes.

set exe_path=C:\ConanexileTEST\ConanSandboxServer.exe -log -MULTIHOME=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx?QueryPort=29016?ServerName=\"[EU/FR]-[PVP] System Of Gaming - The Cimmerian\"?MaxPlayers=70

Notice the \" escaping your quotes.

But maybe it will work without you needing to escape them but just in case you know what to do.

Thanks for reply @C0nw0nk. I will try CURL etc and send you result.

I tried with CURL, and it do the same.. No message, no reboot, no restart, only validating.

And the error :

- The specified file can not be found.
- FINDSTR: No search channels
- Error: The search filter is not recognized.
- Redirecting stderr to 'C \ steamcmd \ logs \ stderr.txt'
- Checking for available updates ...
- Steam console client c valve corporation
- Type quit to exit
- Loading Steam API ... ok
- Connecting anontmously to steam public logged in ok
- Waiting for license info .. ok
- Update state 0x5 validating, progress ..... (Until the end of the update, and repeats loop)

The log stderr :
Assert( Assertion Failed: Illegal termination of worker thread 'SocketThread' ):threadtools.cpp:3272

Did you do what I said in this comment. Quotation marks could be the problem.

#13 (comment)

Perhaps remove ?ServerName="" from the command line surely you can set the servers name in a config file instead.

[Mannot74]

Ok thanks for reply, I will try soon, quotation and ?ServerName= ""

Same, error/checking/connect steam/validating/succes/repeats loop, but no message, no shutdown, no update?, no restart. i tried with CURL with these settings

set steamkey=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

set login=anonymous

set install_directory=C:\rustserver

set steamcmd_path=C:\steamCMD\steamcmd.exe

set exe_path=C:\rustserver\RustDedicated.exe -batchmode +server.ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx +server.port 28015 +server.worldsize 4000 +server.seed 666 +rcon.port 28016 +server.identity "my_server" +rcon.password "xxxxxxx"

set servername="[EU|FR]-[RUST BAD] ALL VANILLA wipe 02/02"

set appid=258550

set update_appid=258550

set interval=240

[Mannot74]

Same, i tried without "" in exe_path :

set exe_path=C:\rustserver\RustDedicated.exe -batchmode +server.ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx +server.port 28015 +server.worldsize 4000 +server.seed 666 +rcon.port 28016 +server.identity my_server +rcon.password xxxx

set servername="[EU|FR]-[RUST BAD] ALL VANILLA wipe 02/02"

[Mannot74]

i will try with clean install of a server "rust", and try a small exe_path without quote ""
And, there is a solution for send you logs of your script ?

[Mannot74]

Same prob, i post the settings :

set steamkey=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

set login=anonymous

set install_directory=C:\RUSTTEST

set steamcmd_path=C:\steamCMD\steamcmd.exe

set exe_path=C:\RUSTTEST\RustDedicated.exe -batchmode +server.identity my_server -cfg server\my_server\cfg\server.cfg

set servername="[EU|FR]-[RUST BAD] ALL VANILLA wipe 02/02"

set appid=258550

set update_appid=258550

set interval=240

Always the same error at the beginning in the console, file not found ... but the script seems to launch the validation of the files :

- The specified file can not be found.
- FINDSTR: No search channels
- Error: The search filter is not recognized.
- Redirecting stderr to 'C \ steamcmd \ logs \ stderr.txt'
- Checking for available updates ...
- Steam console client c valve corporation
- Type quit to exit
- Loading Steam API ... ok
- Connecting anontmously to steam public logged in ok
- Waiting for license info .. ok
- Update state 0x5 validating, progress ..... (Until the end of the update, and repeats loop)

No message, no reboot, only validating, and repeats loop without timer

Hello
OS windows server 2012, I would like to continue to do tests, with a server "Rust" and a server "Conan Exile"

Can you tell me if the error at startup of the script console is normal? (The text of the error on my console is in French, so I translated it)

- The specified file can not be found.
- FINDSTR: No search channels
- Error: The search filter is not recognized.
- Redirecting stderr to 'C \ steamcmd \ logs \ stderr.txt'

Hey I just resolved this on my end. In the set exe_path, escape your quotes like so: \"
