Problem Description

Issue

When I try to run the CS:GO server, it fails with the following log message:

[05:27:33] [System Info/20]       : SteamCMD Update successful
-rf: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
-rf: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file

This (as you can tell from the log message) happens right after the SteamCMD update almost immediately, maybe early in a startup script?

I’ve tried changing the IP address for the server, changing various settings, destroying and recreating the instance. So far, I always get the same error. I saw this forum post which looks similar to my issue, but no solution there.

Reproduction Steps

  • Create CSGO instance through AMP UI
  • Do standard setup (Set GSLT token, set IP address, some minor gameplay changes)
  • Update SteamCMD to try to start server
  • See error message, check forums/Reddit for answer

Yep, just had to update. Thanks!

Edited:

Now when I start, I get far enough that the server stands up, but I see the message Your server needs to be restarted in order to receive the latest update.. This doesn’t go away if I restart.

Then, when I try to connect, the server goes down with nothing in the console. The client gets stuck on the loading screen with the message “Connecting to server…”, but the in-game console shows that it is connected to the server. On the server-side, I see that I am connected, it displays the server cvars, then it crashes. One of the cvars is highlighted red for no apparent reason:

01/27/2025 - 07:16:11: server_cvar: "cash_team_planted_bomb_but_defused" "0"
01/27/2025 - 07:16:11: server_cvar: "cash_team_terrorist_win_bomb" "0" // <-- this is red
01/27/2025 - 07:16:11: server_cvar: "cash_team_win_by_defusing_bomb" "0"

That cvar is always printed red. Not sure if that is related at all though.

Let me know if I should open a separate ticket for this, or if it’s outside the bounds of this forum!
