Linux distro

Debian 12

Command

Further information

Hello everybody,

I created a new installation of the sfserver. Following happens, when i start to start the server:

sfserver@sfserver:~$ ./sfserver st
fetching GitHub command_start.sh...OK
[ .... ] Starting sfserver: fetching GitHub check_root.sh...OK
fetching GitHub check_system_dir.sh...OK
fetching GitHub check_executable.sh...OK
[ FAIL ] Starting sfserver: executable was not found
* /home/sfserver/serverfiles/Engine/Binaries/Linux/UnrealServer-Linux-Shipping

The link seems kinda weird to me:

sfserver@sfserver:~/serverfiles/Engine/Binaries/Linux$ ls -lah | grep UE4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 sfserver sfserver   76 10. Sep 20:35 UE4Server-Linux-Shipping -> /home/sfserver/serverfiles/Engine/Binaries/Linux/UnrealServer-Linux-Shipping

I am wondering, where the UEServer-Linux-Shipping is. It would be nice, if somebody could help me out.

Thanks for your help guys!

Edit:
Following I noticed in the logs:

See #4644 . The executable got renamed. This comment also describes how to fix it.

Last commits fixed this 👍

[PlayMTL]

Should be fixed with #4643 and release https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/releases/tag/v24.2.4

When will this release be reflected by steamCMD updates/ installs? Anyone using LinuxGSM is a bit stuck atm.
