Build 42.20.0 Dedicated Server Help [Resolved]

[Ikegorgon]

Hello! I am hoping for a bit of guidance. I had a dedicated server that I ran off a PC I have just to play with a few friends. Now that build 42 is officially released I wanted to set up a new server so we can play again on the new release. I've been trying to download the dedicated server files but just can't get it to work. It keeps showing me "Error! App '380870' state is 0x402 after update job." I can't seem to get it to work at all.

I tried looking up the error online and it says it's just a connection error and to try again, but I have tried dozens of times over the past 3 days and with no luck. I have also tried downloading to different locations (both C:\zomboid & the default steamapps in the SteamCMD) as well as deleting the download location folder, the app manifest, and the steamapps folder several times to start it again, but it always seems to stop on the exact same percent complete.

Any ideas on what might be going wrong and advice on how to fix it would be greatly appreciated! :)

This is an example of the log I keep getting:

Try completely nuking the install folder and SteamCMD then install both again.

Thank you for the advice haha. I went ahead and did that and everything worked. Guessing my SteamCMD must have corrupted somehow (totally lame haha) and I tried just about everything but redownloading that. Appreciate your help!

It caches files, it's a pain in the you know what, and the only way to fix it is to reinstall it.
