Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Steamcmd app_info_print is an important command for game hosting providers, because we use it to determine when everyone's games need updating. It has stopped working (on Linux) on June 13, 2024. I have confirmed this on Ubuntu machines in 4 different data centers around the world. I also confirmed this on a clean Ubuntu VPS, to make sure that nothing about my existing setup was breaking it.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Run steamcmd on Linux: ./steamcmd.sh
  2. Login: login anonymous
  3. Run command: app_info_print 376030
  4. I expected some output, but nothing is displayed.

Hello @SergeyTsalkov, if the output of app_info_print is in stderr.txt like #10975, then there's no point in pondering this separately from the older issue report.

Closing in favor of #10975.
