Utility freezes after accepting login when trying to download by pubfile id

[bmelikant]

I have been trying to use this utility to build scripts to automatically install mods for Arma 3 on a Linux dedicated server. I built the latest release using dotnet build on Ubuntu 20.04. I wrapped the call to DepotDownloader in a bash script as such:

./DepotDownloader -username [username] -password [password] -remember-password -dir [path-to-destination] -app 107410 -pubfile 450814997

The downloader application starts, I get successfully logged in to Steam, but then... the utility just freezes. Sometimes I get a message about accepting a new token, usually it just says "Got session token!" then does nothing else. About once every 20 or so connection attempts result in a successful download of one mod file. As soon as the utility hits the next mod in the list, it freezes again.

The utility correctly creates the output directory for the mod files, so it seems like this may be some network issue or something? It's beyond my knowledge with the Steam API to diagnose it though, so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction!

The issue appears to me to be related; however, I am using the release specified in the linked issue and am still encountering the issue. I did end up running with -debug, and here is the output from that run:

I double-checked the SHA for the release I checked out just to make sure everything was right. Should I be grabbing the zip file on the releases page rather than checking out the release tag and building?

I actually just answered my own question. From the releases page, I downloaded the latest zip file with the hotfix notation and am now seeing the downloads for all the mods in question succeeding. I'm going to mark this question as answered. Thank you!
