Problem Description

Issue

game doesn’t seem to boot, no matter what I do.
It is likely the developers changed something critical for gameservers with their most recent update.

Reproduction Steps

  • Install game
  • check console
  • see how the game gets stuck somewhere between installation and boot phase.

You will have to share logs for anyone to be able to help

Latest server works fine for me, it is more likely an issue with the environment that you are running it in

Sure, I wasnt able to properly run the logs again yesterday. This is the console log from a completely fresh deployment with no custom settings:

That’s a recent steamcmd bug. If you click update again it usually gets around the issue. If you still have issues, post the new logs

you are correct, another update fixed it. many thanks!!
