Steam CMD/Guard issues?

[DJSean00]

Hi Guys,

 

All of a sudden we seem to be getting errors updating games through SteamCMD in the Game CP. When I dig deeper I see that steam Guard is turning back on after it was turned off. I login to the account in a steam client and disable it again and after one update in TCAdmin it's activated again.

 

I tried changing it to my personal steam account and got a few goes updating before its done the same thing.

 

Anyone else having this issue?

Do you own the product you're trying to update?

[jeromehaynes]

Delete your steamcmd files (apart from the zip) then create a new server/update a new one and it will automatically download and update a new copy of steamcmd, see if that works.

Login to the account on that machine and authenticate with Steam Guard. Only needs to be done once.

Hi Guys,

 

Thanks for the replies

 

Ben - Yes I do, it wouldn't come up with the error I get? Wouldn't it say no subscription?

 

Jerome - I'm using the TCAdmin one, where do you go to do that?

 

Dennis - How would I do that? would I steamCMD and login on every one?

 

 

Thanks Guys

Sean

[Dennis]

Yes, exactly :-)

Hi Dennis,

 

No luck I'm afraid, what we've tried is the following:

 

1. Check our steam account and ensure steam guard is turned ON

2. Login to one of our nodes and run steamcmd from the desktop

3. Login using our login details, prompted for the Steam Guard code, add it and logs in fine.

4. Once done, close SteamCMD and deploy a test server to the same node.

 

Fails again code 65.

But do you still see this line?

This issue is a massive pain. We have tried the following

 

1. Switching steam guard off entirely - works for a couple of updates then switches itself back on

 

2. Switching it on then logging into steamcmd and providing steamguard code - works for a couple of updates then asks for code again

 

3. Switching it on and logging into actual steam on a server providing steamguard code - works for a couple of updates then asks for code again

 

No matter what we do steam guard switches back on an stops clients from updating their services. Opened a ticket with steam but guess what, sweet fa from them.

Another user fixed his problem (not related to this though) by disabling protection mode in IE. It makes no sense, but you should try it.

Didn't know that was something you could do out of steam?

I think what Dennis meant was turning off IE protected mode as I cant see anyway of disabling steam guard outside of steam.

 

If IE protected mode was what he meant it hasn't done anything for us.

[jeromehaynes]

If you were on about the tcadmin version, it depends on your OS, if the server you're trying to install to has a faulty steamcmd install on a windows box, it should be in:

 

NB: My master server is Linux, so I'm a bit more knowledgeable but I do have a Windows server too;

 

C:\Program Files\TCAdmin2\Monitor\Tools

 

Simply delete the steamcmd folder, create/update a new gameserver and it should extract/create a fresh steamcmd copy, if this doesn't work then something is wrong on your end, disabling the ie protection like Dennis said would be a good idea, if you need any help on this I may be able to investigate further for you, or you could always send a ticket to tcadmin support.

 

 

Kind Regards,

We are also having the same issue, steam guard randomly keeps coming back online without us enabling it. Its a real problem as we are not always around to re-disable the feature.

 

This has been happening since the 16th April and hasnt stopped, either steam has changes the settings, someone is trying to hack/login to the account and tripping it or there is a game using steamworks forcing steamguard which we have had happen once before.

[Ragonz]

It must be a change steam have made, Also been happening to us since April 16th

Unless someone has been trying to hack us both constantly since the 16th which is improbable

[DJSean00]

Wow well I take a little comfort in that I'm not the only one..

 

I've got tickets into Steam about it, anyone else get a response from them?

[Ragonz]

Nope, ticket sent in on 16th, asked for an update on 19th, asked for an update on the 21st

nothing

[DJSean00]

Mines also unanswered,

 

Guessing the only way around this is ensuring the repositories/Game files are updated manually and frequently.

[Raizio]

SteamGuard has been disabled for me for well over a year now, still have no issue.

[jeromehaynes]

There's the steamcmd alternative you could use? I've never personally used it but it sounds good

[404Games]

It seems to have stopped for us, what ever the cause was we haven't seen it for almost 24 hours now, the account is back to normal.
