Not sure if anyone is seeing this with the new Mistlands update. Not even sure if it's related to this docker container or if it's something with the Mistlands update. Just figured I would put what I'm seeing and doing here in case anyone else comes across this.
My buddies told me the update came out today and asked me to update the server. I thought some of these steam servers had auto updates so I checked logs this morning and it looked like it was checking for update every hour and failed on something, then restarted the server. So I did what any IT pro would do, I turned it off and turned it back on again. I kept logs up and watched it download and install the update. I go back to work and heard some buddies were playing on steam deck and computer during the day. No one says anything so I think all is fine. I get on to play this evening after work and then saw a 1995 style icon of a computer/server with a wire to a modem and an red X in the line flashing in the top left hand corner? I was like wts mate? and my buddies were like oh yea your going to get booted. Then we all saw it and got booted. That's when my buddies said they had this happen to them a couple times today and one said he thought it was just because he was on steam deck and had bad signal. So, I checked logs again and saw the same thing I saw this morning where it looked for an update a bunch of times and a couple of the times i saw logs said "Redirecting stderr to '/serverdata/serverfiles/Steam/logs/stderr.txt'". So I checked this file and all it said was "CAppInfoCacheReadFromDiskThread took 154 milliseconds to initialize". Logs for the auto update check before were like 2 and 4 milliseconds.
Long story short, I think there is an issue with the auto update game. Again, I dunno if it's the docker container (i doubt), or if it's the new Mistlands update (i tried checking but didn't see anything on their end yet), or if it's just release day and the servers couldn't handle all the auto update request and timed out causing this issue.
What did I do? I turned off the auto update game setting and everything seems to be fine so far. Just a heads up.
