Steps to reproduce:

  • I change the version in SteamCMD settings to the experimental version
  • I’m starting the server
  • And immediately an error after the entire download

Actions taken to resolve so far:

  1. Changing the config to a newer one using a regular text file editor
  2. Deleting the old file and replacing it with a new one
  3. Just delete the file
  4. Deleting the old file and installing the new one
