    I just ran the check for rF2 updates on my rented Win server and got a message that "Steamcmd is no longer supported on your operating system ".

    What is the new min OS for Windows Server?

    From a quick google it might be a 32/64 bit thing, but you might get more info at steam, as a lot of what I’m seeing is historical.

    We're running 2012 R2 with no issues.

    Maybe it's related to Steam not supporting Windows 7 anymore?
    But "not supported" must not necessarily mean "doesn't work anymore".

    Steam ended support for Windows 7 and 8.1 on 1st January 2024.

    My server is running 2012 R2 as well.
    I need to figure out why it through an error when I ran the batch file...
    "steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir ../rFactor2-Dedicated +app_update 400300 +quit"

    Have you tried grabbing steamcmd again?

    Which Error did you get?
    And did you try it with running the Batch File as an Administrator?

    This sounds like a time format issue. I ran into similar message when writing my rf2 server helper for linux on tkinter gui.
    I had to edit the regedit to make sShort date and steamcmd liked it again.
    reg add \"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Control Panel\\International\" /v sShortDate /t REG_SZ /d \"dd/MM/yyyy\" /f"

    You can do it manually also I don't know if this is actually the issue but ran into weird stuff that needed. Even steamcmd was telling me I was offline because of things like this. Worth a try
