Fatal SteamCMD Force_Install_Dir error #629

TLDR, the runscript for SteamCMD no longer works and instead force_install_dir ../ throws the error Please set the game install path to something other than the Steam install folder, making installing Torch properly a nightmare (I've not managed to completely fix this yet).

I've been struggling with installing TorchAPI all day, and yesterday. I followed the instructions, but it never behaved as expected. The guide said that Torch would install the DS to it's directory, but instead it installed it in SteamCMD's library structure. At first I just copied the DS's files to Torch's root folder, which seemed to work, until I tried to install mods. Because it is installing them to SteamCMD's library structure Torch cannot find the files and crashes. I eventually discovered the issue is the new versions of SteamCMD will not execute the command force_install_dir ../ used in the runscript. It will refuse with the error: Please set the game install path to something other than the Steam install folder. If anyone who knows what they are doing could force it to run the command, or reconfigure Torch so It can use a different location that would be appreciated. Let me know if you need more info,
