Why servers are not starting after update umod + valheim?

*Basically valheim server is not even updating (same problem as before).
"umod update valheim -P" command not working.

We would need logs and details, not just stating that it isn't working.

A new valheim update released.

So i just did what it is suposed to do:
1. curl -sSL https://umod.io/umod-develop.sh | bash /dev/stdin
2. umod update -P
3. umod update valheim -P

Valheim server but it is not being updated using umod.
So i updated it manually and started the servers.
Servers started with no problems but now plugins are not being loaded.
**Logs are not being generated cause umod is not generating them.

When did you use those commands? Also, you only need one update command, not both. The one with the game name is just to specify the game if you aren't in that game directory.

Also, logs would include each response and output when using the commands. Any sort of detail on each step you took helps us help you.

Plugins not being loaded means uMod is not installed. It would have to be installed after any and all game server updates you do.

Let me explain again cause you're not reading what i said with attention.
1. I stopped the server.
2. I updated umod:

"root@Valheim1:~# curl -sSL https://umod.io/umod-develop.sh | bash /dev/stdin

Installing uMod global tool...
Tool 'umod' was reinstalled with the latest stable version (version '1.2.275-develop').  "

After this i did:  umod update -P
Nothing is happening..  (showing nothing after this command...)

I read what you said just fine, but simply saying "it does nothing" could mean numerous things and is often used by uses to simply say it doesn't work. When reporting issues, we need to know details, we can't help otherwise.

As I said, logs would apply to anything you see, not just only logs from the mod when the server is running. What you sent me is a log, a detailed transaction of what happened.

As far as no output being shown for the actual update command, we'd have to do some checking there.

If the update command doesn't work, you do not have uMod installed, which is why the server doesn't recognize it or the plugins. uMod has multiple components: the agent tool/installer, the core, the apps, and the actual game mod.

Do any other commands for the agent work? umod --version

I just tested in my test server (not in my main servers cause there are currently a lot players online).

root@DRValheim:~# umod --version
uMod Agent - (1.2.275)
games/valheim (outdated) (6246034) -> (6287700)
games/valheim (develop)
core/webclient (develop)
core/compiler (develop)
core/database (develop)

So it is installed as you can see.

It is showing "games/valheim (outdated) (6246034) -> (6287700)"
But the game it is already in the latest version (i have updated it manually since umod does not updated it..)

The only way i managed to solve the problem and get everything to work is reinstalling everything
again in a new server machine and applying the existent world saves.
The thing is, this should not be happening everytime a new valheim update is released.

You are the first to have this issue, but ultimately the goal would be no issues in general. If the agent doesn't update the game for you with the normal command or doesn't see a game update, you can always try adding --force to the command.

If you give me a private way to contact you, i can give you access to the server with that kind of problem so you can see what is happening.

with "umod update -P --force" it worked and now plugins are working.
I dont understand why it is not working with the normal command.

The normal command would only work if we have that Steam build information on our site, and uMod would only be installed if there is a compatible build. The force arg bypasses both of those checks and ignores compatibility I believe.

ok.
Now i know that i will need to use --force everytime i need to update ;)
Thanks for the info.

No, you shouldn't use that each time, as you'll end up with a broken server if you don't wait for a compatible build of uMod. That argument should only be used in select cases.

But for now it is the only way i can update my servers xD
I cant update it with normal command like you can see in the print screen..
Maybe next time there's an update it will work with normal command..

Right, that's abnormal, but that doesn't mean you need to use --force as a normal.
