    guys pls help my a zombie sandbox server has been rock solid for months 🙏 Then the latest patch arrived and it died. SteamCMD output:

    Windows Update

    Windows Update
We couldn't complete the updates.
Undoing changes. Don't turn off your computer.

Error code: 0x800f0922

    Clients say disk write failure. Id love to fix this without wiping the world save.

    most important to me is keeping the world save intact. if there's a safe order of steps, I'd love to follow it exactly... any help before the weekend rush would be fantastic. any ideas??

    cry

    Clear SteamCMDs own state by deleting the appcache folder in the SteamCMD directory, then retry. stale app info can cause failed to update app state type errors. lmk how it goes

    note that force_install_dir must come before login in newer SteamCMD versions, otherwise it may warn and ignore the directory. check ur scripts argument order. hope that helps :)

    @byte_forge Cleared old backups, freed up space, and SteamCMD finished without erorrs. Lesson learned about disk space. cant believe it was that simple lol

    mindblown
