Problem Description

Issue

I am trying to update a Valheim server I run (I have 2). The one instanced updated with no issue and I can connect to it however the other instance, “Noobhalla” refuses to update and when I try to connect to it I get “This server is running an older version of Vlaheim that is incompatible with your version.” The Noobhalla server is running Console: Valheim 0.220.5 (network version 34), current version is 0.221.4

I have tried stopping the instance and updating it from the status screen, I have tried to run SteamCMD to update it but nothing in working. Is there another way to update instances within AMP. I am loving this software except for that.

Reproduction Steps

  • Stopped Server
  • Clicked on Update in the Status Window
  • Restarted the server

What’s in the console when you update?

SteamCMD

17:07:59

CPID: 13636

Redirecting stderr to ‘M:\AMPDatastore\Instances\Noobhalla01\Valheim\logs\stderr.txt’

cmd

When I try to access that log location it tells me that the location is corrupt and Unreadable. If I delete that Log folder and run the update again will it repopulate?

Don’t mess with the AMP datastore outside AMP’s file manager or AMP’s SFTP
