[1.201.013] Dedicated Server unable to download some mods
Hello Laura,
As of last night, dedicated server on windows could not start up, with 8 of the following mods on our list failing a download check from the steam workshop. see attached for full list. This is happening on two separate servers. been trying a couple times since, including an hour ago.
below are the failed mods from the list. None of these mods are banned on steam workshop, mod pages are all available. please let me know what other info you need.
Another server admin confirmed this happening on his vanilla DS instance, but not his torch instance. is there a steam API update required by vanilla dedicated server? this has happened before.

solution found. keen you will need to hotfix 6 steam dll's in the DedicatedServer64 folder. In an updated copy of SteamCMD "C:\steamcmd\steamapps" in my case, the 6 dll's below need to be copied into the DedicatedServer64 directory, overwriting the older files.
steamclient.dll
steamclient64.dll
tier0_s.dll
tier0_s64.dll
vstdlib_s.dll
vstdlib_s64.dll
Thanks Nevcairiel for the workaround.

Well, good luck with those fifty votes to get your "feedback" seen.

Hello, Dalten!
Sorry to hear you experienced this issue. I appreciate you have found a workaround but do you have any way to re-test this without the workaround? I ask because neither myself nor my colleague can reproduce the issue with the named mods. These will download for us without issue. If you are able to test this again and let us know how you get on. If it is still an issue, could you supply the world file?
Kind Regards

The steps to reproduce are detailed above. When a server has the six outdated dll files installed the issue occurs. The problem is rectified by Keen providing these six updated dll files in the dedicated server installation package, which is then deployed through steamCMD by player admins. The 60l files must be placed in the dedicatedserver64 directory alongside the other server binary and library files.

Hey,
I hoping right into the problem. See Attached the logfile from my server. All the mod downloads fail und my server is down. Without mods the Server runs instantly.

I already gave keen the solution to this issue and how to source the updated files from steam directly. Keen needs to keep these dll files up to date as they release game updates.

Downloading a new DS the updated and correct DLL's can be found under steamapps\common\SpaceEngineersDedicatedServer
My guess is they updated them correctly just placed them in the wrong folder. Copy the following files from SpaceEngineersDedicatedServer to SpaceEngineersDedicatedServer\DedicatedServer64 and it will work.
steamclient.dll
steamclient64.dll
tier0_s.dll
tier0_s64.dll

Hello everyone,
before doing this, please be sure to keep your steamcmd installation up to date. look up the update command for it. as of this writing, the DLL files were last updated by Valve on 7/28/2022.

This thread is about 40 days old, and I've just encountered the problem with the latest build of the dedicated server (1.201.013), and the workaround of copying the .DLL's from the steam library worked.
If this is a recurring problem, can I suggest the installed steam path be added to the dedicated server's execution path, and the DLL's be removed from the Dedicated Server directory, so it can use them directly from the steam install path?

It is a sign of incredible incompetence that Keen is not able to fix a simple yet critical bug that prevents the server software from running within 4 month.

What are you all ranting for again?
I had this problem 2 months ago, used the workaround and still working fine.
I just tried to delete all the Space Engineers Dedicater Server folder and re-download with steamcmd.
DLL are automatically downloaded in the folder and all is working fine, my server is up again.
If you rant randomly without thinking you'll never fix the problem.
Download the latest steamcmd (https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD), redownload the Space Engineers Dedicated Server with the related command and voila'.
Also, if the STEAMcmd is not downloading the DLLs, it's a STEAM problem, not Keen's problem.
I never wanted to defend Keen, but ffs use your brain for once...

Hello,
I am trying to return to the game with some friends who I've finally convinced to give the game a shot. I told them I would let them know that I have a working server up and running, and then they could go ahead and buy the game (for the ones that don't already have it) and we could finally get our gaming on. '
Then rather frustratingly and unfortunately, I've ran into this issue while trying to get a DEDICATED server going for us, and it's preventing me from being able to host us a server with mods, and as an aside is costing you sales because they aren't interested in playing the game without mods due to lack of combat and other features, and was one of the selling points to even get them to try the game in the first place.
Here is what I've found and tried. I updated and validated the Space Engineers "Dedicated Server" package through the Steamcmd utility with these two commands:
login anonymous
app_update 298740 validate +quit
After it updated and validated successfully, then when I tried to launch my old server I had, it failed to update and launch with mods. I've seen this before and last time, the DLL swap fix mentioned above was exactly what I needed to bypass the issue. Though as of this time, by replacing the appropriate DLL files mentioned above in the C:\steamcmd\steamapps\common\SpaceEngineersDedicatedServer\DedicatedServer64 directory has not worked for me this time.
This time I tried to make a new server instance and to only add a single mod to it: https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=758597413 -- I tried adding this single mod, which is a dependency for several other mods. I figured if I could get anything to load, it would be this. It also would not connect to the Steam Workshop and download the mod for the server, and just failed out like my previous established world's attempt at launching.
Out of curiosity, I tried installing the Steam Client itself, to see if there was some other dependency issue going on that might be magically resolved by having it installed, but OF NOTE... I did NOT log into Steam with my steam account, as I'm hosting this remotely on another machine where others could potentially access it. This dedicated server instance is being launched (presumably) under the anonymous or local account, when it comes to running it and thus provides whatever those default credentials would be to the steam workshop and store. Logging in with my personal Steam account on this machine is a NO GO for me, and hosting it in this exact manner has worked for me previously before, so I know it's possible.
Finally, here is the console output from the dedicated server after it failed to run with mods. It did work successfully with a fresh instance without any mods, also of note. But anyway - output was as follows for the failed mod attempt:

I hope this information has been enough. To summarize, dedicated server was installed via steamcmd with anonymous login and validated through the steamcmd utility. Hosting like this in the past has worked for our standalone dedicated server, not started through the actual game itself.
Tried a non-modded world after mods failed, that worked. After that worked, I then tried to replace the DLL's as mentioned in several of the posts above in the correct directory and even the root directory for good measure, which did not work. I then installed Steam client, but did not log into it due to shared nature of the machine, and then finally tried to run a new instance with just one mod and a few mods, trying different mods. Nothing was working, there was no connection and updating, and logs seem to indicate that there was an access denied event from the steam workshop to do so.
Not to whine, but this is frustrating and really killing my will to play the game and has been a big blow as I had finally convinced some friends to give it a chance, and now I can't even properly run a server for us to play on and we'll be moving on in the meantime to something else until you can come up with an acceptable fix and this stops being a recurring issue.
Hello,
I am trying to return to the game with some friends who I've finally convinced to give the game a shot. I told them I would let them know that I have a working server up and running, and then they could go ahead and buy the game (for the ones that don't already have it) and we could finally get our gaming on. '
Then rather frustratingly and unfortunately, I've ran into this issue while trying to get a DEDICATED server going for us, and it's preventing me from being able to host us a server with mods, and as an aside is costing you sales because they aren't interested in playing the game without mods due to lack of combat and other features, and was one of the selling points to even get them to try the game in the first place.
Here is what I've found and tried. I updated and validated the Space Engineers "Dedicated Server" package through the Steamcmd utility with these two commands:
login anonymous
app_update 298740 validate +quit
After it updated and validated successfully, then when I tried to launch my old server I had, it failed to update and launch with mods. I've seen this before and last time, the DLL swap fix mentioned above was exactly what I needed to bypass the issue. Though as of this time, by replacing the appropriate DLL files mentioned above in the C:\steamcmd\steamapps\common\SpaceEngineersDedicatedServer\DedicatedServer64 directory has not worked for me this time.
This time I tried to make a new server instance and to only add a single mod to it: https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=758597413 -- I tried adding this single mod, which is a dependency for several other mods. I figured if I could get anything to load, it would be this. It also would not connect to the Steam Workshop and download the mod for the server, and just failed out like my previous established world's attempt at launching.
Out of curiosity, I tried installing the Steam Client itself, to see if there was some other dependency issue going on that might be magically resolved by having it installed, but OF NOTE... I did NOT log into Steam with my steam account, as I'm hosting this remotely on another machine where others could potentially access it. This dedicated server instance is being launched (presumably) under the anonymous or local account, when it comes to running it and thus provides whatever those default credentials would be to the steam workshop and store. Logging in with my personal Steam account on this machine is a NO GO for me, and hosting it in this exact manner has worked for me previously before, so I know it's possible.
Finally, here is the console output from the dedicated server after it failed to run with mods. It did work successfully with a fresh instance without any mods, also of note. But anyway - output was as follows for the failed mod attempt:

Finally, I went and found the workshop.log file and it was saying that it failed due to an access denied event. There was a lot of log events, but here is one of the failures from when I tried with mods.

I hope this information has been enough. To summarize, dedicated server was installed via steamcmd with anonymous login and validated through the steamcmd utility. Hosting like this in the past has worked for our standalone dedicated server, not started through the actual game itself.
Tried a non-modded world after mods failed, that worked. After that worked, I then tried to replace the DLL's as mentioned in several of the posts above in the correct directory and even the root directory for good measure, which did not work. I then installed Steam client, but did not log into it due to shared nature of the machine, and then finally tried to run a new instance with just one mod and a few mods, trying different mods. Nothing was working, there was no connection and updating, and logs seem to indicate that there was an access denied event from the steam workshop to do so.

It's still not fixed, really? Well, atleast copypaste workaround works.

Yesss!!
This latest update helped a lot. Revealed that I was having a secondary issue on top of needing to replace dll's that wasn't obvious with those two problems combined. But now with that secondary issue fixed, I'm able to run and load mods on the latest dedicated server build without having to do any tricks or workarounds!
Sorry to bump a solved thread, but just wanted to say a big thank you all to the devs and all involved in getting this fixed - this will save a lot of people a lot of grief and make it easier for people to play with their friends and benefits everyone, so I'm happy and excited to see this was addressed.
