To fully take advantage of the Update script, it may be advisable to create a separate Steam account, that does not use Steam Guard, rather than to disable Steam Guard on the main account. If the Steam account has enabled Steam Guard two-factor authentication, then it will not be fully compatible with the optional "Update" script, and will require proper account authentication every time that account attempts to update the server. In order to download the necessary files, logging in with a Steam account and its proper login credentials is required. It will also download, apply, extract, and install various updates.
