User story

as csgoserver i want to ./csgoserver install but SteamCMD then gives me an Error

Game

csgo

Linux distro

Ubuntu 22.04

Command

command: install

Further information

Every time i try to install the server i get that error message.
I tried it on a virtual machine using the exact same install and it worked without problems.
Does anyone know what'S wrong with my system? because i don't think that it is the script.

Relevant log output

Why is this still not solved yet?
I just tried a new install of LGSM (rust server) in Debian 12 and 11 and the problem persists.

This is a steamcmd issue. Looks like Valve did some updates recently. My suggestion would be to fully remove steamcmd apt purge steamcmd and look for any steamcmd directories and delete them. Hopefully, that clears the issue.

It might be something that needs to be raised with Valve themselves https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux

Removed SteamCMD and deleted all folders I could find. Re-ran the installer for GSM and got the same error. So I'm going to assume it's a Valve issue.

Check if your VPS provider doesn't ban SteamCMD. My provider did and that's why I had problem with SteamCMD

I don't use a VPS, I have my own server running Ubuntu 20.04 and didn't have a problem like this before now.
Even running the standard SteamCMD:
steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir /mnt/sdb/7dtd_server +app_update 294420 validate +quit
Errors out about being offline, so Steam must be having some issues.
