[BUG] Some Workshop Collections On Dedicated Servers Won't Start A Collection Map

[pedrotski]

When you start a dedicated server using +host_workshop_collection, sometimes it won't start a map from that collection, and instead it would stay on the map set by +map. The only way to fix this is to re-create the collection on the Steam Workshop (multiple times in some cases), add the exact same maps back and it would work. Deleting the local workshop cache on the server doesn't make any changes. Having an API key set or not doesn't change anything.

Some important things to note:

• Even if you use that collection on another server, it still won't load a start map
• This affects both Windows and Linux servers from our testing
• Here is an example offending collection ID: 3070572558
• Using ds_workshop_listmaps will display the correct map list: https://i.imgur.com/IzSfOTv.png
• You can use +host_workshop_map to start a map while using +host_workshop_collection, but then the stock map chooser will not read the collection.

Here is a plugin someone has made until Valve fixes this issue - https://github.com/Cruze03/cs2_WorkshopDefaultMap

This will only work if ds_workshop_listmaps is working on your server, if that doesn't work there are other issues at hand for you.
