1.48 Dedicated Server Not Working [Ubuntu 15.04]

Recommended Posts

Hi there,

When 1.48 was released I updated my server through steamcmd.sh with the following command (after being logged in):

app_update 233780 validate

After that I modified the server.cfg file and started up my server. When it finish intialising it said Arma 3 server console 1.46 and nobody with the updated game can enter. tried reupdating through steamcmd.sh but nothing happened. I am kinda stuck here. If it helps I do run 3 instances using tmux with their OWN config, profile and set of ports

I have found the issue. My Arma 3 server directory was in the steam user's directory. meaning that I did not have write permissions. To fix the issue do:

1)

//switch to the user that owns steam(meaning that steam is installed under this user)
su <user that owns steam>
//enter your password

//now that you are logged in as that user, run steamcmd.sh, if it says permission denied, add sudo infront
./steamcmd.sh
login <username> <password>
//steam guard may send a code to your email if you are using you normal steam account like me

//force the installlation directory to the one that you have installed or want to install the server
force_install_dir <your dir>
//233780 is for dedicated server, validate is to check for corruption
app_update 233780 validate

Or alternatively

sudo chmod -R <your_user>:<your_user> <your_directory>

Thank you both for your help in advance.
