We have been receiving reports that many server admins have had trouble updating their servers to KF version 1062. We have been unable to reproduce this locally until just minutes ago. We had one machine which would only download 1061 and not 1062. We managed to fix this issue by navigating to the folder where the SteamCMD executable is and deleting the "Appcache" folder that is part of the SteamCMD folder structure and running the update again.

So any admins who are experiencing this issue should attempt this fix.

I was just trying to figure out why the Windows Normal/Objectives servers I run aren't getting any players lately. Also why the regular players of one server kept asking for the direct IP and saying it wasn't showing up(5 empty servers, lovely). The logs of all my servers still show 1061, ugh.
Spoiler!

I just tried all the tips in this section, and nothing seems to get them to 1062. I was looking at other servers, theirs all show 1062 in the list whereas mine shows 1061.

Pulled the .dll's from my pc to the servers
SteamCMD appcache deleted
SteamCMD redownloaded/reinstalled
SeamCMS logs:
Spoiler!

Is there anything else I can try? Would anyone be able to zip up a copy of their SteamCMD updates folder to try that?

I have no clue... I have tried three different machines (Win7, Win8 and Vista) and using two different steam accounts - no luck.

@Massacrer : could you please investigate how to change the url for downloads?

Same here, just got done trying on the laptop/my pc too. Always just downloads the same thing. Messaged Steam as well.

The SteamCmd is always downloading the BuildID #412614 (v1061) instead of #411219 (v1062)... My two cents: I think the problem is related to the BuildID value. The BuildID must be an incremental number.

I have the same problem with downloading the update - surprise ^^

I also think that this error is related to the BuildID value.
King Sumo is absolutely right in my opinion!
That all makes sence if you think about it

At least only one of Tripwire's staff has to read this possible solution and make it happen :D

Are we going to get help at all or do we just keep looking at dead servers?

I know nothing about Linux, but I'm going to try and install/update on our minecraft PC tonight. If it works out, I'll link you guys the updates folder.

That didn't work out with linux.

Whoever can zip up a legitimate Windows version of 1062 update folder from SteamCMD, I'll give you $20 through paypal.

Not getting any fixes here obviously.

We are continuing to look into this, however it looks like what is happening is out of our hands and somewhere in the Steam backend. We are trying to figure out if there is any common thread between servers that grab the update and those that don't right now to give that information to Valve.
