    Make sure your beta tab in Steam is set to none. Then let Steam update the app.

    Normally, if you use the default Steam Settings and are in the online Mode, it should update automatically, no matter if you use the Beta or the non Beta Version.
    Have you checked the Version Number of your Install?

    His install has been updated, he just didn't know the procedure to get to the latest version. Which is somewhat non-intuitive. Choosing the Opt out of Betas automatically then assigns you to the latest version. My simple brain would think v1121(or whatever the most current version is) should be among the choices and visible as a choice.

    If you navigate to this:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\Core
    There is a file called 'version'. It will enlighten you.

    Nothing more to do, you are fine then. The Steam properties tab isn't normally supposed to be used at all actually, Steam has always automatically updated the games to the latest build. It only became a thing with rF2 when certain users wanted to go back in time to stay on previous builds, but then they often forgot that setting on and were out of the update loop.

    You may have got the folder wrong when updating the server. Might be easier at this point to install the server from scratch, but set up a .bat file for updating at the same time so you know you get the same syntax (like any forced install folder).

    Thanks that worked, but as usual something else goes wrong, i install some mods again for my dedicated server via mod manager but now when i try the dedicated exe i get, no mod files found or installed mods found. Wich is strange as in mod manager it says the mods are installed?

    You need to run the dedi with the correct target/working folder for it to work. You also need to have the correct folders when you run the MAS tool and install them.

    Normally when running the dedi you change the target folder (in the shortcut) to the main game folder, or you put +path=".." at the end of the command.

    @StubbornGymnast Working Dir should be the server folder, not its Installed folder. Your Install folder also looks wrong.

    Install: <rf2folder>\Installed
    Working: <rf2folder>
    Packages: <rf2folder>\Packages

    (the packages can be wherever you're storing packages, so like you've done can be a totally different folder)

    @StubbornGymnast don't forget to adjust the working folder when running the dedi. If your MAS tool folders are correct and you've installed content, that's the only thing that can go wrong.
