The "steam_legacy" branch has just been made available on the HLDS app for those who want or need it to get servers for broken mods back up and running. As Sam mentioned, pass "-beta steam_legacy" as part of your app_update command in SteamCMD.

Any instructions anywhere on how to actually accomplish this via SteamCMD?

        I know, this has nothind to do with hlds_linux, but I do hope
        I have some attention now.

        On my other computer after auto updating Steam the same
        happens, with the same errors.

        Please advice.

        Kind regards,

                    What's the output when you install the dedicated

                    run the command multiple times to fully install
                    it, so some files could be missing.

                    Is its dedicated server still installed via AppID
                    90? even though it's actually AppID 70? (that
                    dates back over a decade, I forget why).
