[TF2][SRCDS][LINUX] replay_srv.so not working on fresh install server

[blockplace1232]

Can I please get some help

Team Fortress 2 servers refuse to start.

I am running this on a local machine.

Here is the debug log:

`WARNING: No map specified! Server may not heartbeat.

Server will auto-restart if there is a crash.

Hello @blockplace1232, Team Fortress 2's dedicated server is generally expected to be run with the Steam Linux Runtime or an equivalent set of libraries provided by the host system. Since you're using Arch, you'd need to use and check for those libraries using Arch's package manager's tool (pacman), not Debian's (apt) or Red Hat's (yum).

I'd guess the package manager command you're looking for is something like pacman -S lib32-ncurses, then re-evaluate what the dedicated server needed.

[kisak-valve]

Since the dedicated server is asking for ncurses .so.5, lib32-ncurses5-compat-libs from the AUR might be a better match.

[blockplace1232]

thanks ill try that

just none of the guides said use anything other than that

[blockplace1232]

Update: I tried it and was only able to install mailutils as the rest of the packages didn't exsist.

Unfortunately the server refuses to start with the same error

[blockplace1232]

Still borked :(

Side note I have 2 servers so its in tf/bin

Note for some reason it couldn't find libcurl gnutls when thats already installed the others print out errors trying to install them (the missing packages)
