I'll check out Debian 8 (GLIBC 2.19) later.

Edit: Should be fine doing the same on Debian 8, though if you happen to be using a number of packages from unstable (megatools, personally), you may need to aptitude install -t unstable libcurl3-gnutls:i386 (aptitude in particular does dependency resolution; apt-get just tells you about maybe holding broken packages) and choose to upgrade libc6-i386 to unstable as well.

You may also need to ensure Steam's lib32/ directory is part of the library path.

You may prefer to wait until someone that is more familiar with libraries posts a proper method.

OK I ran a quick test with Windows 2008 r2 server using the new TF2 beta and the SM gamedata beta. I tested with my Dodgeball server and it seems to run nicely. The only thing I noticed that was broken was TF2Attributes which I think it just caused by a broken signature which I posted about here: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showpo...&postcount=490

Thanks for that - I'm still on 2008R2 myself, so that's good to hear.

Also, big thanks to psychonic for being so proactive

So to confirm, a CentOS 7 64 bit server should not run into these errors?

I'm not 100% sure. You'd want to test it.

My take on TF2 on a virgin AWS Ubuntu 16.04 with latest HWE ( kernel 4.8 ) :

Code:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install steamcmd

Installed tf2 using steamcmd with flags

Code:

app_update 232250 -beta toolchainbeta validate

Now installed the needed i386 packages:

Code:

sudo apt-get install libtinfo5:i386 libncurses5:i386 libcurl3-gnutls:i386

Posting my findings with Centos 7 64 bit.....server auto updated and got todays optional update that forces the toolchain

I had to install libstdc++.so.6 and libcurl.i686

Code:

sudo yum update
sudo yum install libstdc++.so.6 libcurl.i686

You will get an error for the replay server file (like the Ubuntu posted above) for libcurl-gnutls.so.4

This fixes that:

Code:

ln -s libcurl.so.4 /usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4

Any info about Debian Jessie?

EDIT: Just updated my server instance, I'm getting a Segmentation Fault on Start - Already installed the updated gamedata (https://github.com/alliedmodders/sou...es/game.tf.txt).

Any tips or special requirements I need to met?

Using ubuntu 15.04 and this fixed it for me.

I am using Fedora Server 25 (GLIBC 2.24) and the TF2 Gameserver was running fine before it auto updated. Now it's not starting anymore. Am I missing some packages that are required after the update?

Code:

./srcds_run: line 324: 21465 Illegal instruction     (core dumped) $HL_CMD

Edit: I should mention, that I created a vanilla test server on the same machine where I downloaded everything again. Nothing I tried worked tho.
