Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Updating ARK dedi server through SteamCMD randomly (sometimes) causes corrupt/missing chunk errors during validation, followed by steamcmd segfault, even run back-to-back.

also confirmed by installing another dedi (7 days to die) with the same symptoms.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

~/Steam/steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +app_update 294420 validate +quit
Run repeatedly until segfault (maybe 1/5 of the time)

I've rolled up a fresh fedora and nobara vm, and can't replicate it, even on the same drive. Not sure how to troubleshoot this further unfortunately.
