Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I use a disgustingly long one-liner here to check for Team Fortress 2 Linux Dedicated Server (232250) updates automatically. It has worked wonderfully so far, but I noticed today after the holiday patch that the +app_info_update 232250 part doesn't seem to work:

steam@09b71f1cd798:~/steamcmd$ ./steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +app_info_update 232250 +app_info_print 232250 +quit
Redirecting stderr to '/home/steam/Steam/logs/stderr.txt'

No app info for AppID 232250 found, requesting...

... running app_info_print again within the same container after a bit will print the correct information, however, using a duplicate +app_info_print in the command-line parameters as an attempted workaround will instead will just print an empty data object:

"232250"
{
}

My updater log states it hasn't successfully checked for an update since November 26th:

[11/26/24 21:00:01] (3515963) Checking...
[11/26/24 21:00:19] Current: 16411573; Latest: 16411573
[11/26/24 21:00:19] Current is latest, nothing to do

[11/26/24 21:10:18] Current: 16411573; Latest:
[11/26/24 21:10:18] Failed to fetch latest, doing nothing

Edit: probably possible to work around using a sleep to force the container to wait for the info... but I would rather not do that, personally, and I think this is undesirable behavior, so I am reporting it.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Run steamcmd.sh using the following command-line parameters: ./steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +app_info_update 232250 +app_info_print 232250 +quit
