v1.6.0
(Automated Clean Updates, Silent Background Checks & Console Window Suppression)

  • Automated Clean Appmanifest Removal: SteamCMD now automatically purges the cached appmanifest_2430930.acf file by default before every update and auto-update. This permanently eliminates the common SteamCMD issue where cached manifests cause it to report "already up to date" even when a new patch is published on Steam CDN.

  • Streamlined Hands-Off Update Controls: Removed the manual auto-clean broom split-button and modal re-check buttons. Manual updates, automatic background updates, scheduled reboot updates, and Discord bot update commands now execute clean manifest deletion automatically with zero extra user interaction.

  • Eliminated False "Manifest Missing" Error Toasts: Enhanced get_server_build_info and update check handlers to gracefully handle missing or wiped manifests, preventing misleading "App manifest file not found" warning toasts from appearing when updates are triggered.

  • Silent SteamCMD Startup Checks: Added the Windows CREATE_NO_WINDOW (0x08000000) flag to background SteamCMD build version queries. When launching the release build, SteamCMD update checks now run completely in the background without popping up an unwanted black DOS / command prompt window.

  • Silent Process Management: Applied CREATE_NO_WINDOW flags to Windows taskkill operations, eliminating any brief command prompt flashes when stopping, restarting, or terminating server processes.
