Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/692

We are hosting a dedi with OVH and they are having routing issues.
The steam CMD is not responding and its preventing us from launching the srcds servers.

Would it be possible to implement a "force-start" that just fires off the srcds without checking for updates?

[ FAIL ] Update csgo-server: Checking for update: SteamCMD: Not returning version info

We really ought to just handle this sort of error better inside the start command. Something like, if steamcmd doesn't return a result we notify and continue?

I see that what is failing is the update function, not the start. As far as i know, the start function doesn't check for SteamCMD updates.
So, if you can't update SteamCMD, chances are you can't update csgoserver neither. I think it's the point of how this function work : if SteamCMD isn't working as intended, don't try anything else.
I wouldn't take too much risks to put this as "wontfix" right away.

You should focus on your issue :
What kind of routing issues are you experiencing ?
Did you make some tracert ? (can be useful even to tell OVH where the shit happens so they can fix it). Or at least simple pings, just to see what happens ?

Not sure if that kind of issue can be packages related, would be great to mention your distro and to double check dependencies.

The issue is not the problem.

OVH has a BGP leak breaking most of their network. (this resulted steamcmd failing)

https://twitter.com/OVH/status/697862498125533184

The issue here is that.

./csgoserver start

was not starting the server, which is why force-start should start the server not caring if steamcmd failed.

our server was reachable
our server could not contact steam download servers or whatever steamcmd is trying to to.
we were unable to start our server because steamcmd failed
I thought it should be possible for anyone to start the server in whatever state steamcmd is.

It just felt weird that starting the server (which was updated) was not starting because the updater was failing (which was not needed)

Is updatonstart enabled? Start does not check for updates unless updatonstart is enabled

I should have added "unless updateonstart is on" :p

Well, problem solved !
