Incompatible version between client and dedicated server after patch

[He Who Has No Name]

I'm running the Linux client and a Linux dedicated server. When I saw the Aug 30th update drop, I updated the server with steamcmd > app_update 896660 verify, everything worked and it reports as properly updated. The server console readout is showing a version *0.209.10* here:

09/01/2022 09:48:38: Using environment steamid 892970
09/01/2022 09:48:38: Using steam APPID:892970
[S_API] SteamAPI_Init(): Loaded local 'steamclient.so' OK.

Setting breakpad minidump AppID = 892970
[S_API FAIL] Tried to access Steam interface SteamNetworkingUtils003 before SteamAPI_Init succeeded.
09/01/2022 09:48:38: Server ID 90071992547409920
09/01/2022 09:48:38: Authentication:k_ESteamNetworkingAvailability_Waiting
09/01/2022 09:48:38: Steam game server initialized
09/01/2022 09:48:38: Using default prefs
09/01/2022 09:48:38: Valheim version:0.209.10

My client is updated to the most recent non-beta branch via the Steam client GUI, and is still showing v0.210.6. When I try to connect to the dedicated server, I get an incompatible version error after providing the server password:

09/01/2022 09:57:37: New connection
09/01/2022 09:57:37: Accepting connection k_EResultOK

09/01/2022 09:57:40: VERSION check their:0.210.6  mine:0.209.10
09/01/2022 09:57:40: Peer 76561197960703529 has incompatible version, mine:0.209.10 remote 0.210.6
09/01/2022 09:57:40: RPC_Disconnect

So it looks like the Linux build of the dedicated server (appID 896660) is, or is incorrectly tagged internally as, 209.10, while the client (appID 892970) is correctly 210.6?

Environment:
Server - Ubuntu 18.04, 2007-era dual Xenon rack server of some kind. 16gb RAM.
Client: Debian 11, updated. CPU is intel something, I don't remember (i5 I think?) 1080GTX, 16gb ram. Steam client set to automatic update, no beta branch.

Hi.
Some people have had issues updating linux. But it does work, you just have to close the server down, and push the update like always.

Some linux disps are more difficult than others to do this.
We have on our discord server many many linux users who help eachother out.

I have been having the same issue, only I'm just running it on a Windows 10 PC. Everything has been working fine for months but now I can not get it to update past the 209.10. I have run the update though SteamCMD and it says it updates. I have even tried with .bat files and I get the same outcome. Yes, i'm kind of "new" the server stuff but this has been fun until now lol. I am at a standstill. Any guidance to correct this issue I will be very grateful.

-Thanks in advanced.

On my machine it ended up being that Steam lost track of where the VDS install was actually located, and it was "updating" a different one it created (one buried in the guts of the file structure somewhere), not the one I thought it was working with. So it was a Steam error, just not the one I thought. Verify your install location and what Steam THINKS is your install location, and that may help fix.

I will give that a try and look around for what I can find. Thank you for the tip. Hopefully it will work.
