Describe the bug
For some reason Starbound returns the appid 65534 instead of its actual appid 211820. I don't know if this is a bug in gamedig or the query itself is an issue.

Steps To Reproduce
Query a starboudn server and check the apid

Expected behavior
The appid should be that of Starbound 211820

Hmm, Starbound uses the vanilla Valve protocol and Gamedig does not alter the appid at all.
Indeed 211820 is Starbound and 65534 is an unknown id.

Some games have different app ids if they run as dedicated servers but it seems this isn't the case here, so what it might happened is:

  • Queried another server by accident
  • The game server is mistakenly set to that app id
  • The query implementation is altered and provides that app id
  • Someone modified stuff around to play jumbo with the data (I've seen this happen in pirated copies of some games (i.e. you can set the app id to any number))

So, overall I do not think this is a GameDig issue, but I'll search around more to see if there are any other instances of this happening with Starbound.

Might be a mistake on the Starbound Dev's part, but since Starbound hasn't been updated in a long time I doubt it will get fixed. I might have to correct it manually in my code
