Issue

Do i have to use my regular steam password? i definetly used the right password i even copy pasted it once to log into steam and i tried the same one here. I tried using my permanent steam username, my display name, my email adress everything. I have steamguard and im trying to run a official beta branch of the game (Build ID 21238927). No mods or anything of that nature.

Reproduction Steps

  • Start server
  • login screen appears
  • entered steam login credentials
  • after a few seconds the login window reappears

Specify the branch name, not the build ID

It is 42.13.1. I input the Build ID into where you put the Beta version in the Updates section, not the branch name.
