Not if you are so stingy with details. Do you have a managed server (like bluefang) or a headless server in the cloud, or a dedicated server at home? What operating system runs on it?

Not the original poster but I was trying to b177 from an earlier A19 build on a server at home with Steam CMD and couldn't figure out the command to do it.  I thought running the same command to install the server would also update it but I kept getting a 0x202 error.  After setting the install directory I ran:

  • app_update 294420 -beta latest_experimental
I hadn't done much with the earlier A19 server so I deleted the old server folder and ran the same command and it reinstalled to A19 b177 just fine.  I'm hoping to figure out how to update in the future without having to delete the existing server folder and reinstalling.

Here is the relevant part of the readme I have on my server:

Code: 
Steam/steamcmd
  > login anonymous
  > force_install_dir /home/days/clean
  > app_update 294420 validate        
or
  > app_update 294420 -beta latest_experimental validate
for experimental
  > quit


You should change the force_install_dir paramter naturally, but this is guaranteed to work, I always update this way. I would guess you might have forgotten to do the login the first time.

I was missing the "validate" piece.  I tried that and it worked without the error.  That will save me a lot of time in the future, thanks!
