Reply With Quote #1

My remote servers are Linux so I thought it'd be easier to run a local Linux one via WSL2 so I don't have to worry about cross compatibility gamedata.

Running Ubuntu 20.04 (or just plain Ubuntu under wsl --list --online)

I've installed the TF2 dedicated server and all of the required libraries, but when I run srcds_run I end up receiving an error:



I've experimented with various switches but there's always the same OOM error.

Ran with -debug, didn't get anything special. I don't even get a crash dump.
Spoiler


Did a lot of research. Scoured across this forum. Installed an ungodly amount of packages. Performed a fresh WSL2 install. No dice.

So I'm at a loss.

I've spent more time trying to get this to work locally than what would've taken me to just remote into my machines
