Been trying to install a Half-Life Deathmatch server on two machines recently, both of the times it has failed. Seems like SteamCMD does not download all the files anymore for some reason, stopping at like 6%.

Used to work fine in the past.

Reproduced.
Seems like it installs just fine, but for some reason, a validate occurs and just loops.

Well noes, this is the expected behavior.

Information! Goldsource servers commonly fail to download all the server files required. Validating a few of times may reduce the chance of this issue.

So... Just wait a bit and it should be fine.

I get pretty much the same output during the installation. It shows that everything has been installed, but it's actually missing a lot of the server files. It downloads about 60mb worth of files instead of the usual 400mb (or something like that). If you try to start the server after the installation, the console will throw errors about missing files which were never downloaded.

I have attempted to launch and retry the installation multiple times but none of them have actually finished a proper installation/validated missing files.

Might actually be a SteamCMD issue and not LGSM itself.

Possible solution that could be implemented in the script?
