@Rinzler2400 commented on GitHub (Aug 21, 2023):

Prefacing this with the fact that for me, this was with the Project Zomboid server, and while the errors I received were slightly different, they do have significant similarities.

For me, however, the issue turned out to be a permissions issue not allowing SteamCMD to download what it wanted. Setting the appropriate home folder to 777 perms (recursively) did the trick. Obviously this isn't ideal for security reasons, so I'd suggest trying to figure out what a more restricted permission setup might work instead, although at least for testing purposes, I would recommend tinkering around in that direction.

there have been a bunch of bugs recently with steamcmd. I did notice that Valve have been updating it quite abit recently. Hopefully this is resolved now. This issue is a SteamCMD issue rather than LinuxGSM
