[CSGO] Auto Server Update how?
 

HI :)

A long time ago i did a CSS server where you do not have to log to install a server or to manually update it.
Now i did a CSGO server and added also the command "-autoupdate" at the end of the CSGO server start command line, but my server doesn't get auto update if a new update is available did i do something wrong or is that another CSGO bug?

Re: [CSGO] Auto Server Update how?
 

Autoupdate only runs when the server first starts. You will have to restart your server for autoupdate to happen (assuming CS:GO has that functionality)

Re: [CSGO] Auto Server Update how?
 

So valve changed from auto update to manual update that sucks.

Re: [CSGO] Auto Server Update how?
 

That is how autoupdate has always functioned. It updates the server upon server boot.

Yes superlol, it's a shame there's not more information about this. I had to dig and dig.

It can be done using "nemrun"

I had it to where it was updating automatically, through a few patches. Now when there's a patch it will restart, update the server automatically, but it just keeps logging into steam and verifying the app over and over.. until I hit ctrl+c and relaunch.

Perhaps later when I get it working fully again I will put up a guide.

Yes if you get it working don't forget the guide. :-)

It was not always like this, back in the days where CSS was relesed i didn't had to login to install a CSS server and the command "-autoupdate" meant that if an update was out the server would automatically be stoped and the server would then download and install the update and then start the server new.

Re: [CSGO] Auto Server Update how?
 

So you are saying that VALVe decided to change the way autoupdate functioned for 1 game? This has been the way autoupdate has always functioned, even in GoldSrc. There is an SM plugin that hooks the Master Restart Request and triggers a server reboot (assuming you have an auto restart) so the update could be applied, maybe you are thinking of that.

Re: [CSGO] Auto Server Update how?
 

Yes VALVE has changed ithis. A long time ago i installed a CSS server without logging into a steam account and the "-autoupdate" command has updated the server automatically without any plugins installed.

Re: [CSGO] Auto Server Update how?
 

First, you have never been required to log into a Steam account to update/launch a server (with the exception of some beta builds, ie CS:GO)

Second, I find that hard to believe. VALVe has been running autoupdate this way since the beginning (including GoldSrc). I find it highly unlikely that they would have changed it for CSS only and then changed it back. If someone believes otherwise, care to show some proof?

Re: [CSGO] Auto Server Update how?
 

A linux server with -autoupdate as a command line parameter will automatically shutdown and restart to get the update on mapchange.

CS:GO and Nuclear Dawn uses SteamCMD to install/update a server and SteamCMD still requires a login.

CS:GO also supports auto updates if you add the following to your command line parameters
