  I just had a couple of minutes checking the steamcmd update process.
  When I use it to install into a clean folder, everything is downloaded to <install_dir>\steamapps\downloading and then moved to <install_dir>
  When I update my existing installation everything is being downloaded correctly as well, but then not moved / copied to the final location but to <install_dir>\steamapps\common\VRisingDedicatedServer
  That means, neither libs nor exe are being updated though steamcmd update did not encounter any errors just like steamcmd validation does not find any.
  I don't know enough about steamcmd, but maybe someone of you knows if it uses a script created by the developer and which would be at fault not to move the files at the end of the update? Though that does not explain why it is behaving differently on a clean install.

  my dedicated server stopped working, now when you try to log in, it appears that the server version is version 2, and it needs to be version 2, how to update the server?

  For those that are server admins, are you able to also include the command you used to update? A VERY cursory review of the evidence seems to suggest that at least SOME admins of servers who this is affecting passed the +force_install_dir argument to steamCMD, which may have exacerbated the issue.
  
  WORKAROUND:
  To those admins that are unable to resolve the issue, you may need to re-install the server, then migrate the saves and configurations over. This is the command I have always used to update my server successfully:
  
  steamcmd.exe +login anonymous +app_update 1829350 validate +quit

  I have tried to force Steam to re-install my server by deleting all directories and files except:
  
  save-data
  Start_server.bat
  Update_server.bat
  
  Steam validates the files and comes back that the game is fully installed
  
  NO FILES have been restored to the game directory on the dedicated server.
  
  Update_server.bat: C:\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir +login anonymous C:\VRising +app_update 1829350 -validate
  
  The only way I was able to resolve this problem was to re-install the dedicated server from scratch using the steamcmd process of:
  
  Backup VRising directory files
  
  run steamcmd.exe
  force_install_dir "c:\VRising\"
  login anonymous
  app_update 258550
  quit
  
  and then copy over from my backup:
  
  save-data directory
  ServerGameSettings.json
  ServerHostSettings.json
  
  There is an issue with the Steam Update not moving files into the game directory after downloading the update.
