Do you have some specific or modified installation?
Did you try loading only this module and nothing else, to see there is a conflict with something else?

Module relies on engine_i386.so and libsteam_api.so. There are also checks everywhere, not sure where this could crash at startup.

Having a backtrace would likely help. If you start your server with -debug and in hoping you have "gdb" installed, you might have a debug.log file generated when server crashes.

I can't pinpoint the crash.

Can you install "gdb" on your server? It will help generating a backtrace (in debug.log) and there is a chance it will tell where the crash happens (for debian-like dist: apt-get install gdb).

Core dumps are limited to 1MB on your server, you have to increase it to get a meaningful output out of GDB.

Can you try this version (1.1.1).

The module is hooking SteamGameServer_Init() in libsteam_api.so without doing anything (just calling the original function) but it looks like I got wrong the params.
There are only 6 passed params and not 8. Not totally sure where I grabbed this function header nor why It doesn't crash with me (and module is working fine), but well. V1.1.1 fixes that, I tried and it loads fine as well.

Then I don't know. I can't reproduce.

Did you updated manually libsteam_api.so? Actually, can you attach it here?
What OS exactly?
Do you have SELinux enabled or similar security software? If so can you disable it temporarily to see if it helps?

I tried under debian/ubuntu without issues. I hope you are not going to say CentOS, there is always trouble with this OS ahah.

EDIT: Can you try this version (1.1.1-debug), it's the same with another fix related to SELinux + module is in debug mode (you should also see some message printing params values of SteamGameServer_Init function in the console and before a possible crash).
