SteamCMD "App state" error — game files won't download

Example error line

Error! App '740' state is 0x602 after update job.
Cause

SteamCMD could not fully download or validate your server's game files. Most common reasons: no disk space left, an interrupted download, or a Steam server outage.

Fix

Check free disk space in the customer panel first — a full directory is the most common cause. Then restart the server so validation runs again. If it persists, open a support ticket.
