Dedicated Server Fails to Download/Update Mods Updated on July 12, with "ODPF failed entirely: 2" Error

Try scrutinizing all your antivirus and firewall software. i had similar issues which turned out to be related to an antivirus. the issue also appeared out of nowhere, as this software had been installed before without causing issues.

oh addition: run both steam and DST with administrator privileges, just in case.

I've disabled all antivirus software and firewalls, but it still didn't work.
I don't think the issue is on my end, because my server can download normally—even for mods last updated on July 11th.
However, if a mod's last update date is July 12th, it just won't download.
It's not just me facing this problem; I've tried switching to several different cloud server providers, all with completely different networks, and the issue persists.

Something changed on July 12th, and it’s affecting other games as well. I ended up here by chance while trying to find a solution (we're experiencing exactly the same issue with a Project Zomboid server).

If it’s not a rented server that overwrites changes to server files, you’ll find the fix here:

The rest of us have to wait until the developers update the client or Valve does something about it.
