Re: [hlds_linux] Steam support library problem
Hello, Yes, I did copy the server config from my old CS:S directory into this one. Except for the server.cfg and motd.txt files, it is a completely default install. Start-up command line is the same as I was using for CS:S before the update: ./srcds_run -game cstrike +ip 72.237.4.31 -port 27015 +maxplayers 16 +map de_dust +sv_lan 0 -autoupdate -debug I don't think it's a permissions problem because the srcds user owns the install directory (/usr/local/srcds_2) and all of the files and directories under it. I also disabled the iptables firewall on the box temporarily because it was mentioned before that this could be caused by a connectivity problem with Valve's servers, but that did not seem to help.

Re: [hlds_linux] Steam support library problem
A new development. For the last few days, I wasn't able to establish a client connection to my server at all after it started up. A connection would always either crash the client or crash the server immediately. However, I just restarted my server for the billionth time, and this time I was able to find it in the master list and connect to it just fine. I ran around the map for a little while with no problems. A map change on the console is what always causes the server to lock up for 5 minutes and then give the Steam support library error, so I decided to try it from the client and see what happened. I attempted to change the map via rcon (rcon map de_dust2) and it did the same thing, and my client immediately got disconnected from the server with the error Disconnect: Server shutting down. Unless some miracle patch comes out, I think my days of running a CS:S server might be over, because this update done broke it but good. :-( - Dave - Original Message - From: David Parker dpar...@utica.edu Date: Saturday, June 26, 2010 9:06 am Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Steam support library problem To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com Hello, Yes, I did copy the server config from my old CS:S directory into this one.

Re: [hlds_linux] Steam support library problem
Thanks, but I tried it with -ip and I still got the same result.
If I change the map using changelevel instead of map then this error does
not happen. But if I try to restart the server using quit, restart, or
_restart, then the server says it will restart in 10 seconds and just hangs, so
there is something wrong. I'm just getting frustrated because it seems I'm the
only one with this problem, and everything worked fine before the big update.

Re: [hlds_linux] Steam support library problem
Thanks, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. This is just plain crazy. I rebooted the box (to make sure there are no weird ghost processes running, although there did not seem to be before). Then I created a whole new directory and did a full, clean install of CS:S into the new directory from Steam. Now, the CS:S server appears to start up just fine, but it crashes if someone connects to it. If I start up the server and then change the map using map de_dust2 (or any other map name) in the console, the new map loads, but then the server hangs for about 5 minutes after this message is printed: [S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; unable to update local steamclient.dll. Continuing with current version anyway. During this time, I cannot type anything on the console, and the server stops responding to A2S_INFO and other queries. After about five minutes, it spits this message out to the console and then seems to be fine, except that no one can join it: * * Unable to load Steam support library.* * This server will operate in LAN mode only.* * Again, this is a clean CS:S install, but this is the third install of CS:S on this box which has had this problem. I never had any problems with CS:S on this box up until the last update. The box is also running servers for TF2, CS 1.6, and CS:CZ and those seem to be running just fine.

Re: [hlds_linux] Steam support library problem
but did u put a server config in the install? On Fri, Jun 25, 2010 at 10:06 PM, David Parker dpar...@utica.edu wrote: Thanks, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. This is just plain crazy. I rebooted the box (to make sure there are no weird ghost processes running, although there did not seem to be before). Then I created a whole new directory and did a full, clean install of CS:S into the new directory from Steam. Now, the CS:S server appears to start up just fine, but it crashes if someone connects to it. If I start up the server and then change the map using map de_dust2 (or any other map name) in the console, the new map loads, but then the server hangs for about 5 minutes after this message is printed: [S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; unable to update local steamclient.dll. Continuing with current version anyway. During this time, I cannot type anything on the console, and the server stops responding to A2S_INFO and other queries. After about five minutes, it spits this message out to the console and then seems to be fine, except that no one can join it: * * Unable to load Steam support library.* * This server will operate in LAN mode only.* * Again, this is a clean CS:S install, but this is the third install of CS:S on this box which has had this problem. I never had any problems with CS:S on this box up until the last update. The box is also running servers for TF2, CS 1.6, and CS:CZ and those seem to be running just fine. The OS is Debian Lenny 64-bit, up-to-date. I'm at a total loss. - Dave - Original Message - From: tom nikitopoulos screwtop...@gmail.com Date: Friday, June 25, 2010 8:51 pm Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Steam support library problem To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list hlds_linux@list.valvesoftware.com thats a error given when server is quit isn't it? maybe a server running in background?
