Instructions
Step 1
To update your Steam server, download the Automatic Server Updater archive. You can find the latest version on the official Steam website. Unpack the resulting archive to a server folder on your computer's hard drive. You also need an active internet connection to update. Do not forget to connect, as some errors will then occur during the update process.
Step 2
Find the Update.bat file in the unpacked documents. This file is designed to automatically search for various updates, as well as download them to a personal computer. Run this executable file by double-clicking on it. A command line window will appear, where the program will display information about the ongoing update process. You cannot hide this process, since such a command is usually not written in the file.
Step 3
It takes a little time to update the server - about 5-10 minutes. The update application window will automatically close after the procedure is complete. Do not close it during the upgrade process. Check the result of the update application. To do this, start the server and display the software version information. Issue the version command to have the server display the version information for its resources.
Step 4
The Steam server collects and sends information about the client computer over the Internet: the contents of your computer from the hardware side, the presence of some programs in the system, such as OpenOffice.org or Mozilla FireFox. However, all statistics are collected and sent only with the permission of the user. Restart your personal computer and try again to connect with your account to any game to fully check the functionality after the update.
