[BUG] Cannot fall back to non-beta after downloading beta version of Project Zomboid #3718

User Story

After playing new Project Zomboid beta 41 and deciding that it is completely unplayable in current state, I decided to fall back to non-beta version of the game. However, no matter if I just removed branch setting in config or completely wiped out the whole user space (including linuxgsm and Project Zomboid files), it was installing the latest beta anyway, even on clean setup.

Basic info

  • Distro: [Ubuntu 20.04]
  • Game: [ProjectZomboid]
  • Command: [install]
  • LinuxGSM version: [v21.4.1]

Further Information

I suppose it's happening because of the Steam cache or depot cache, but even removing ~/.steam didn't help, even though it clearly re-downloaded the game. Running steamcmd with some parameter may help, but I haven't figured it out.

To Reproduce

  • Install Project Zomboid as described here https://linuxgsm.com/servers/pzserver/
  • Use branch option in config to install b41multiplayer
  • Run ./pzserver install
  • Launch b41 server
  • Stop b41 server
  • Remove branch option from config OR completely remove everything
  • Run ./pzserver install
  • Get b41 installed even if branch is not set in config

Expected behaviour

After running ./pzserver install for second time without branch option non-beta version is installed.
