[Bug]: steamcmd.sh errors out when using updateonstart="on" (rustserver)

[Willie30F]

User story

When using start with updateonstart="on", I want the server updated and then started. It just errors out while trying update and doesn't start.

Game

Rust

Linux distro

Ubuntu 24.04

Command

command: start

Further information

Tried to start my testing server with updateonstart="on". However steamcmd errors out without updating or starting the server. Using the update command normally or force-update command works fine and updates the server.

Any idea how I can fix this? Even after updating the server with the update command, the server won't start while updateonstart="on". I can only fix it by removing updateonstart="on" or setting it to off again. Which I don't want.

Relevant log output

~$ ./rustserver st

Steps to reproduce

4. update using either update or force-update
5. start again, still the same error
