SOLVED Updating multiple servers to 1126 failing.

Hi!

I was trying to update the servers we have after the new release tonight. Using the usually batch file we have been using for a couple of years now.
Using the normal command:
Code: 
cd D:\SteamCMD
steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir D:/Games/rfactor2/rFactor2-Server1 +app_update 400300 +quit

cd D:\SteamCMD
steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir D:/Games/rfactor2/rFactor2-Server2 +app_update 400300 +quit

cd D:\SteamCMD
steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir D:/Games/rfactor2/rFactor2-Server3 +app_update 400300 +quit

cd D:\SteamCMD
steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir D:/Games/rfactor2/rFactor2-Server4 +app_update 400300 +quit

cd D:\SteamCMD
steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir D:/Games/rfactor2/rFactor2-Server5 +app_update 400300 +quit

pause

However, for some reason only server1 was updated this time around. Something that's never happened before (at least for me). I've tried to make a new batch file where server1 was removed, to see if there was some sort of "only line 1 working" issue. But nothing happened. From looks of it, the SteamCMD thinks that server 2-5 has been updated, however those servers are still on 1125 and not 1126.

In situations like this it's more likely than not an user error, but I cannot for life of me figure out where I can have messed up now, when I didn't previously.

In the update I get this.
I changed the order of the parameters and it did not work.

Granted, I did see that one myself, but as server 1 actually got updated (and shows on the server browser as version 1126) I didn't think much more of it.
Regardless of the order of the parameters this is what I get:

Or rather, this is what I get now. I got the same as you got when I first tried to install, but that only installed on server1.

read your batch file again, its messed up on the forced directory

The new command should be
steamcmd +force_install_dir ../rFactor2-Dedicated +login anonymous +app_update 400300 +quit

I'm gonna try it, but I find it weird that this is the issue when server1 was updated.

EDIT:

Samme happens.

EDIT2:
As server 1 has been updated, I've tried to remove that from the command-line with the changed command as well. Same thing happens (as in, nothing). So server 2-5 are currently stuck at 1125 and I've run out of options. Even tried to removed the dedicated server.exe to see if that forced some sort of "oh, something is missing, let's do a check" thing. No luck.

Try it like this

D:\SteamCMD +force_install_dir D:/Games/rfactor2/rFactor2-Server1 +login anonymous +app_update 400300 +quit
D:\SteamCMD +force_install_dir D:/Games/rfactor2/rFactor2-Server2 +login anonymous +app_update 400300 +quit
D:\SteamCMD +force_install_dir D:/Games/rfactor2/rFactor2-Server3 +login anonymous +app_update 400300 +quit
D:\SteamCMD +force_install_dir D:/Games/rfactor2/rFactor2-Server4 +login anonymous +app_update 400300 +quit
D:\SteamCMD +force_install_dir D:/Games/rfactor2/rFactor2-Server5 +login anonymous +app_update 400300 +quit

Not sure I quite understood you, as this is now the message.

Again though. Server1 is updated. So the command-line for updates should work. It's just that it didn't update server2-5 and now, even when using the command-line that worked on server1, it won't start any updated for any other server.

This is making my head spin around. I cannot understand why it worked on server1 the first time, and now it won't even check for updates.
 
You need to keep the cd D:\steamCMD bit at the top . I just ran this and it installed all 5 servers without the validate command, ran it a 2nd time with the validate command and it checked all 5 servers.
Code: 
cd D:\SteamCMD
SteamCMD +force_install_dir D:/Games/rFactor2/rFactor2-Server1 +login anonymous +app_update 400300 validate +quit
SteamCMD +force_install_dir D:/Games/rfactor2/rFactor2-Server2 +login anonymous +app_update 400300 validate +quit
SteamCMD +force_install_dir D:/Games/rfactor2/rFactor2-Server3 +login anonymous +app_update 400300 validate +quit
SteamCMD +force_install_dir D:/Games/rfactor2/rFactor2-Server4 +login anonymous +app_update 400300 validate +quit
SteamCMD +force_install_dir D:/Games/rfactor2/rFactor2-Server5 +login anonymous +app_update 400300 validate +quit

Yet again:, with validate and without

The only time this actually worked was the first time. Then it only did it on server1, the rest of the times this have happened.
The most frustrating part is that i don't understand why. Usually I understand that I do something wrong, but that I don't understand what. Now it feels like I don't do anything wrong. That's frustrating.
 
I also tested
Code: 
cd D:\SteamCMD
steamcmd +force_install_dir D:/Games/rfactor2/rFactor2-Server4 +app_update 400300 -beta v1121 +login anonymous +quit

To try to force an install of an older version (I also tried previous-build, release-candidate etc. that were available on Steam, in addition to the last few builds). Nothing happened.
 
I have the same problem.
I have tried all the solutions mentioned above with no result.
Steamcmd always says it is up to date, but when I start the dedicated server it is still on the previous version.
Even the executable is dated 1-12-2021, but the version is the old one.

Heh. Well, server1 for me did get updated, it says 1126. It's "just" the rest that are pooped at the moment.
Steamcmd says it is up to date? So you get another steamcmd message than the ones I've posted?

And you also had the logon first so that's not the cause of the problem either. With the risk of sounding like an idiot, I kinda hoped you'd have the same issue so I had someone to lean on here :P I guess not then :)
 
I don't know what is happening but I am not able to update my server. I will wait for a solution, until there is none I will continue with version 1225 (tomorrow we have a race).
