Scheduled triggers doesn't update Valheim server automatically

Technical Support
1

OS Name/Version: Windows Server 2019 build 17763.3770

Product Name/Version: Halimede 2.4.1.2

Problem Description:

I would like to know how the triggers work when an update is available on steamcmd. I’ve configured 2 triggers. The first is to “Take a backup” and “Check for available updates via SteamCMD” everyday at midnight. The second one is “bound” to the first one in a sense. Trigger is “An update is available via SteamCMD” then “Take a backup” and “Schedule an update and restart once the last user leaves, or immediately if empty.”

Also, triggers are set per instances not in core AMP.

Somehow, it never triggers the update automatically. What am I missing? Thanks in advance!

Check the logs around the time of the update check and see what you get.

3

Kinda new with amp, can give me the location of said logs? Thx

4

Right click the instance and select “View logs”

Success! App ‘896660’ fully installed.

As you can see here “[00:01:03] [steamcmdplugin Info] : Checked updates for 896660 - current build is 10153247 - latest build is 10153247” at the top, steamcmd returned no update but few minutes later in the log you can see that I trigger the update manually successfully.

Your thoughts? Thx

Steamcmd is very buggy, it’s update check is probably not working again.

7

Hmmm ok. So my settings are okay then?

Is there an alternative yo steamcmd or amp is built to use steamcmd only?

8

There is no alternative, SteamCMD is the command line version of the steam client.

I do have a possible workaround in mind to deal with its flakiness, but that’s for a future update.

9

Fair enough. Good luck for the future update and thank you again for your help. Really appreciated.

You can consider this thread as completed.
