Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/3718

User Story

After playing new Project Zomboid beta 41 and deciding that it is completely unplayable in current state, I decided to fall back to non-beta version of the game. However, no matter if I just removed branch setting in config or completely wiped out the whole user space (including linuxgsm and Project Zomboid files), it was installing the latest beta anyway, even on clean setup.

Basic info

Distro: [Ubuntu 20.04]
Game: [ProjectZomboid]
Command: [install]
LinuxGSM version: [v21.4.1]

Further Information

I suppose it's happening because of the Steam cache or depot cache, but even removing ~/.steam didn't help, even though it clearly re-downloaded the game. Running steamcmd with some parameter may help, but I haven't figured it out.

To Reproduce

Install Project Zomboid as described here https://linuxgsm.com/servers/pzserver/
Use branch option in config to install b41multiplayer
Run ./pzserver install
Launch b41 server
Stop b41 server
Remove branch option from config OR completely remove everything
Run ./pzserver install
Get b41 installed even if branch is not set in config

Expected behaviour

After running ./pzserver install for second time without branch option non-beta version is installed.

I'm not quite sure what's happening here. After removing everything from user folder, the user itself and starting from scratch, I'm getting [ FAIL ] Starting pzserver: Unable to start LinuxGSM nothing in logs except finished with code 1. The game starts fine without LinuxGSM though, and starts with proper game version.

I guess it will be impossible to reproduce since b41 is now released to public branch, closing the issue

Re-opening issue as very similar problem happens on a completely different server. LinuxGSM claims to install the latest version even in check-update, but this is simply not true. It's still launching 40.43 no matter what am I doing. Only installing server manually with SteamCMD works, but this breaks LinuxGSM completely.
