Steamcmd is so special

oldassgamers

<div class="IPBDescription">Aid from other server operator to assist this issue</div>I'm currently downloading more ns2 server files for other directory so I can have multi servers up and running.

I get error in the steamcmd after writing the ending command "app_update 4940 validate":

<b>Initial app state <0x2> update required
App state <0x1> unknown, progress: -1.0J <0 / 0>
Error! App '4940' state is 0x1 after update job.</b>

I also get this error if I don't write in "validate after app_update 4940":

<b>Initial app state <0x2> update required
App state <0x1> unknown: timed out waiting for state flag <0x100> 'unknown' to he set, bailing.
Error! App '4940' state is 0x1 after update job.</b>


I've double check all the configuration before making the final command app_update 4940.
Also 4940 is the correct one, maybe valve has changed the number? According to this its the same:

I've got this problem too...

Steam>app_update 4940 validate
Initial App state (0x800102) update required
App state (0x1) unknown, progress: -1.#J (0 / 0)
Error! App '4940' state is 0x1 after update job.

Anyone got any ideas?

I get the same on a new install directory. However, if I run it on a directory where the game is already installed:

Just a quick update, I tried seeking assistens in the steam community forum without any progress. :/ One person believed it can be proxy problem, but I seriously thought that.

Steamcmd has worked perfectly fine but in the last days this strange error occurred.

I'm right now waiting for response from steam itself, hopefully they answer me in the next 24 hours.

Can't update my gaming servers.... :(

Steamcmd worked just fine for me. Try a fresh install of the utility in a new location. Also make sure you don't have any previous instances of the tool running and always make sure to end a session by typing "quit".

i solved it by changing the steam_appod.txt file from 4940 to 4920 and now it appears on the server list. Thats odd :/

The original SteamCMD error posted:
Initial App state (0x4) installed
App state (0x4) installed: Timed out waiting for state flag (0x20000) 'validating' to be set, bailing.
Success! App '4940' already up to date.
Was due to problems with the appid 4940 build 212 on SteamCMD.
Build 213 resolved that, but had the steam_appid.txt set to 4940 which prevented clients from joining.
Build 214 should resolve all these issues.
