Dedicated server latest_experimental is still Alpha 20.4 (b42)

I download the dedicated server like this:

app_update 294420 --beta latest_experimental --validate

But it is giving me  Server version: Alpha 20.4 (b42)

Is the A20.5 dedicated server not yet available, or is there something different you need to do to get it?

PS This is on Linux: Slackware 15 5.17.2 kernel.

 
It worked fine for me on Ubuntu 20.04.

This is the command I used: <app_update 294420 -beta latest_experimental>

 
Try including your path in the command. Like this:

steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir "D:\servers\7 Days to Die" +app_update 294420 -validate -beta latest_experimental +quit

Replace my path with yours.

 
That is exactly what I did. Several times. And it's still 14.2. I think I'm going to do a clean install and see if that helps, rather than update an existing install.

Update: Did install with steamcmd into empty directory:

login anonymous
force_install_dir /home1/sda20rwg
app_update 294420 --beta latest_experimental

Start server. Telnet in:

*** Connected with 7DTD server.
*** Server version: Alpha 20.4 (b42) Compatibility Version: Alpha 20.4
*** Dedicated server only build

Steamcmd is most definitely downloading A20.4, not A20.5.

Try including your path in the command. Like this:

steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir "D:\servers\7 Days to Die" +app_update 294420 -validate -beta latest_experimental +quit

Replace my path with yours.


I could, but I've been doing it like this for years. Many years. And it's always worked. Just for SNG, I did this:

./steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir /home1/sda20rwg +app_update 294420 -validate -beta latest_experimental +quit

And it worked. What the hell? Since when does the following in a script file no longer work? I've done it like this for years.

login anonymous
force_install_dir /home1/sda20rwg
app_update 294420 --beta latest_experimental  -validate
