    hmmm do you run validate in your update command, and in which order are force_install_dir and login? ?

    hmmm back up the world/save folder before anything else. Then run SteamCMD with validation: steamcmd +force_install_dir /path/to/server +login anonymous +app_update <appid> validate +quit.. 🤦 validation fixes corrupted or partially updated files. good luck man!

    yeahhh note that force_install_dir must come before login in newer SteamCMD versions, otherwise it may warn and ignore teh directory... check your script's argument order.

    Check disk space and permissions on the server 👍 On Linux, run df -h and make sure the server user owns the install folder: sudo chown -R steam:steam /path/to/server.
