Dedicated Server steamCMD fresh install error.

A new update is now available, introducing seasons and more!
Latest hotfix: 0.8.0.2 (2024-12-30)

    please forgive my naivety reguarding the use of linux and steamCMD as i am a total novice.


    I appear to be unable to get steamCMD to install the unity version of the dedicated server. every time i try a new install with "app_update 339010 -beta unity" in steamCMD, the server erorrs with logs similar to the attached.

    I dont know enough about the dedicated server file structure to say if its the right version and i suspect not as the logs show multiple entries with java related lines.


    I am attpemting to install on a VPS running Ubuntu v24.


    I have reinstalled Ubuntu.

    followed Valve's guide to installing steamCMD (https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD)

    • sudo apt update; sudo apt install software-properties-common
    • sudo apt-add-repository non-free; sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
    • sudo apt update
    • sudo apt install steamcmd

    and followed the guide on this forum to installing the new version (Dedicated Server Setup [New Version])

    • steamcmd
    • login_anonymous
    • app_update 339010 -beta unity
    • quit


    Running the RisingWorldServer.x64 either directly or from the /linux64/ subfolder lead to the same error.


    I suspect its a user error so please enlighten me as to what i am doing wrong.


    Thanks in advance.


    Log from server.txt

    Thanks for the log! It seems that the steamclient.so could not be loaded (so Steam couldn't be initialized). There are basically two ways to fix this issue: You can either set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the "linux64" folder (this is where Steam extracts the steamclient.so), to do that, you could set up a small (executable) .sh script with this content and launch the server through that script:

    Code
    cd $(pwd)

    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$(pwd)/linux64:$(pwd):$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

    ./RisingWorldServer.x64


    Or alternatively you could make sure that a steamclient.so is located under /root/.steam/sdk64/ (this is where Steam alternatively looks for the lib) :)
