User story

Palworld Server Update Check Bug

Game

Palworld

Linux distro

Ubuntu 22.04

Command

command: update

Further information

I could not choose the option where its says its about the command : ./pwserver Check-Update

Validate command works force-update command works too

I suspect its not finding the info to lookup the remote build or miss referencing it somehow. Server can still run fine, but the check-update is nice for me I have a script to alert me when an update is available.

It ends as this : [ FAIL ] Check for Update pwserver: Checking remote build I have already tried updating LGSM, including deleting the temp folders of steamcmd even going so far as deleting the whold steamcmd and letting the update lgsm command reinstall steamcmd. I have also tried looking up logs and see nothing alarming. Can you please let me know what logs u want me to post that would be relevant to troubleshoot this.

Relevant log output

re: steamcmd bug, seems like there's already a thread at https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/4713

Thank you it got fixed itself indeed, today its working back fine.

It was fixed by a workaround in https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/commit/d8d833ac490e3a1bf29e537f04566f607d08c1be but the core issue with steamcmd is still a problem so you may still run into the bug occasionally.
