Dedicated Server

[Turk]

I don't have the Dedicated Server in Steam Tools. Anyway to fix this or download it elsewhere? I've restarted Steam three times. No change. Steam tools are selected to show.

Have a look at the Self Hosting part on how to show Tools in your library.

I know how to show tools in my library.

Anyone else have an issue of the official dedicated server not listing this game as an option?

[RandomBlue]

Yeah, I don't see it in my tools list, I wonder if it's an issue with activating the itch.io key rather than buying it the normal way.

That could be it. I also had an itch.io key.

Ok Just looked
I had to turn off recent activity for it to show, but it is there.
You can also find it by searching.

Yeah, I already tried both of those things and neither work for me.

Searching for it also does not show it for me.

I shouldn't have to do that.

You shouldn't, but at least it answers your "Anyway to fix this or download it elsewhere?".

Sure it answers the download it elsewhere part. I like all my stuff from Steam though. Can't stand mucking with command line stuff.

I know what you mean but SteamCMD is a Valve tool and downloads the game files from Steam.

Hopefully they'll fix the issue soon but this is a workaround that uses official sources.

[RandomBlue]

They fixed this, if you still don't see it shut down steam and restart it.

I just want to add that trying to run a dedicated server on the same PC as steam that is playing the game can be problematic as it can cause issues with port routing and failure for outside people to connect to servers, and some games and dedicated servers detect themself as the same and don't allow you to run 2 games at the same time hence it force closes one to open the other. Also a true dedicated server is just that, a dedicated server that doesn't have Steam installed and doesn't have a steam account required. I mean why do you think dedicated servers can be downloaded anon and not require any form of login? The game devs over time have made dedicated servers avail from Steam, but as a Server admin of over 40 servers across 7 different games I can tell you that it's not the best way to do this. can it be done, sure.. but you are prone to other issues.

Do as you wish, this is not a troll message, just giving my feedback as an expert in the field and saying that that you still need to mess with command lines with steam downloaded dedicated servers 99% of the time to configure them and still need to go out and open ports, etc. the only real difference here is how it downloads. Other then that, it's all the same really.
