Can I download dedicated server version a21.2 (b37) instead of 1.0 from steamcmd?

Hi all.

I had a dedicated server running version a21.2 (b37).  I need to re-install it today (2024.07.20) , but it seems that using steamcmd as below:

d:\steamcmd\steamcmd +force_install_dir D:\7d2d\a21 +login anonymous +app_update 294420 +quit




is installing version 1.0 as per the startup logs:

2024-07-20T20:13:04 0.001 INF Version: V 1.0 (b328) Compatibility Version: V 1.0, Build: WindowsPlayer 64 Bit




which is breaking my save games.  This is confusing as I didn't think 1.0 was the official release yet, just the beta experimental release.  However, if there is some way I can ask steamcmd (or anywhere for that matter) to install the a21.2 (b37) version, that would fix my problem.

Thanks everyone for your time and help.

 
You just need to tell it what version using the -betas tag.

Code:
d:\steamcmd\steamcmd +force_install_dir D:\7d2d\a21 +login anonymous +app_update 294420 -betas alpha21.2 +quit

 
Ahh.  That's super helpful!  I didn't realize the -betas option could be applied to stable/past release tags also.   

THANK YOU.
