Broken downloads again. Newly installed maps won't download to kf2 servers. This is true for my rented kf2 servers and a test kf2 server on a PC desktop.

Yep, I was trying to set up my own dedicated server again with custom maps but to no avail. Tripwire please fix this!

We are investigating what may be happening here.

What we think is happening is that a steamworks API has been updated and it has broken backwards compatibility. Several admins have reported that dropping the updated steam files into the server folder has worked for them in the meantime, and we are looking into seeing what we can do to update those files inside the server directory..

Steamclient.dll or steamclient.so in the base steam folder should be the files you want depending on if you are windows or linux.

Steamclient.dll

Didn't work for me in windows.

Edit: I have it working now on pc. Online server company made edits to my rented server. Thanks for the work around.

@anotherDSH Can you tell me how you solved this problem, please
The x64 .dll files (steamclient64.dll, tier0_s64.dll, vstdlib_s64.dll) in the root kf2server folder are a different version than their counterparts in the Binaries/Win64 folder. I copied the three x64 .dll's from the root folder to replace the ones in the Win64 folder (backing up originals first) and that solved it for me. For my rented server the support staff fixed the issue.

Have they made an official response yet? Rising Storm 2 is broken in the same way but the dll fix breaks the server
