Hello,

 

I'm hosting several TF2 servers, but after an update a couple of days ago,
it wouldn't update. After a clean reinstall, it updated but wouldn't start
properly.

 

Seemingly everything is fine until it tries to initialize "Steam libraries
for secure Internet server":

 

Initializing Steam libraries for secure Internet server

[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() failed.

 

I can still join the server, but the client crashes occasionally (not only
for me). If I attempt to execute the etf2l_6v6.cfg used in competitive play,
the server crashes with this message:

 

exec etf2l_6v6.cfg

PreMinidumpCallback: updating dump comment

Uploading dump (in-process) [proxy '']

/tmp/dumps/crash_20120925112641_1.dmp

success = no

error:  Failed to open/read local data from file/application

 

Furthermore, MetaMod and SourceMod won't load.

The box is running Debian and everything worked perfectly before this issue.

 

Launch-string:

~/srcds_l/srcds1/orangebox/srcds_run -game tf +ip 192.168.80.50 -port 5506
+map cp_badlands +maxplayers 16 -autoupdate

 

The +ip command is there to fix an internal networking problem.

I scoured both the srcds.com and Steam forums to no avail. I tried a couple
of things, mainly setting rwx rights and ownership to the user running srcds
and adding the steam_appid.txt file to the orangebox directory.
