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

Are you sure your WSL2 VM isn't actually just running out of memory? What does "free -h" show?

That's not needed under Linux , since HLDS/SRCDS doesn't have a guy by default on Linux.

I think this will not run ok, from a mounted device, because of memory loading speed, try moving it on a normal partition.
