Dedicated Server: (No subscription) ??!!

[Azrael]

"ERROR! Failed to install app '2278520' (No subscription)"

anonymous install no longer possible?

Seriously?
Now I can't update/reinstall my Enshrouded server?

Only if I buy it twice?
NO, as a server owner I will NOT buy this game twice!

Or is this just a bug?
If it's not a bug: i will uninstall it and get a refund!

Had the same problem fixed it by logging in with an account that has the game on that account and then do the update. open SteamCmd then login userNameThatHasGame.

I see what you mean hopefully it was just a silly mistake on their part.

Thanks for the answers.
I know about the "account login". But the problem is that the steamcmd website (https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD) says the following:

"If you get the "No subscription" error, the game/server you are trying to download either requires a login or that you have purchased the game. You will therefore have to log in with a Steam username and password. If that doesn't help, you may need to purchase a copy of the game on Steam first.
...
Note:
For security reasons, it is recommended that you create a new Steam account just for your dedicated servers.
Note:
A user can only be logged in once at any time (counting both grapical client as well as SteamCMD logins)."

For me that means I have to buy the game again for a second Steam account so that I can play it on my own server. But I'm definitely not doing that!

Or have I misunderstood something?

Seems to be a recurring problem with the dedicated server files of enshrouded. Sometimes it works, sometimes not with error "no subscription".

Probably it should work with anonymous login....

Thanks for the info. I've tried it many times in a row and over several days, but now I at least know that it can be done. So I'll keep trying.

Installs fine with the following command:
steamcmd +@sSteamCmdForcePlatformType windows +force_install_dir enshroudedserver +login anonymous +app_update 2278520 +quit

That will create a new folder in the one you are currently in called enshroudedserver with the server files inside. Just go into that folder and run enshrouded_server.exe to start the server.

thx, but same error :(

ERROR! Failed to install app '2278520' (No subscription)

I have about 50 game servers installed. On average, 2-3 of these are online at the same time. But I don't have this problem with any of the other game servers.

[Galbi3000]

I run mine on a Linux server instead of Windows and have no issues despite it being a Windows based server (uses wine64 to run). I also run other game servers from that machine and also can have 2-3 running at a time though it's currently just running Enshrouded. I followed this guide to get it running on Linux: https://github.com/bonsaibauer/dev_enshrouded_server
I did not create a new user, just kept it on my login, and I did not set it up as a service either because I run my other servers manually as needed in a tmux session so may as well do the same with Enshrouded!

Note: I use Ubuntu Server edition so there is no GUI running, saves memory that way. Using tmux means I can disconnect from the session without stopping the servers after starting them up in an ssh session. It works for me but may not be other's preferred way to do it :)

There is something odd with the subscription settings of the enshoruded server steam id.
Steamcmd cannot download the files with anonymous log.
Steamcmd cannot download the files if steam (with my gaming user) is launched on the same machine where steamcmd is used <- this works for most other server files with steamcmd subscription issues.

The only way to download the enshrouded server files is to place my steam gaming account credentials in the steamcmd login cmd line.
Luckily Enshrouded is not checking this again at login on the server. I can play on my own server. :)

yes. it can be installed with user login data or install server local and upload the files to the server. both are possible. is not nice, but better than nothing.

thx@all for help :)


@Galbi3000: I'm a Linux fan and had Ubuntu servers for years. Unfortunately there are fewer and fewer games (servers) that run on Ubuntu, which is why I had to switch to Windows :(

I was able to initially install it logged in as anonymous but on the first update the following day (trust me to install it just a day before the next update) it would not update as anonymous and I had to log in with my credentials. It's the only game server that I have installed with SteamCMD that has done this!

Double check if the app id is correct that was my mistake trying to update 227852 instead of 2278520
