macros64 10 Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) I'm lost after this patch released... I tried to upgrade server, but without success. What i see present time: clean install of arma2oa server to separate folder, steam modules from first message of this thread are also there, steamCMD installed too, with its help installed arma2oa app (Id 33935). Server binary doesn't want to run. ./server: error while loading shared libraries: libsteam_api.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory libsteam_api.so is in the same folder with server binary. I have no idea, how to deal with it. Anyone can advise me? ---------- Post added at 21:32 ---------- Previous post was at 20:18 ---------- Well, i've won issue above by copying libsteam_api.so to /lib/i386-linux-gnu/ folder, but now i'm stuck on [s_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() failed. [s_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; unable to locate a running instance of Steam, or a local steamclient.so. How to solve it? Is this a bug in libsteam_api.so, which always tries to search running steam process? I'm running non-GUI Debian 64-bit, kernel 2.6.32, if it helps.

fdrph 1 Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) do I need to run the older server once then update to newer one ? my CentOS 6.5 has glibc 2.12 Can bohemia please be more specific about which libraries are needed... Because arma 3 runs fine with 2.12 but arma2oa is asking for 2.15 EDIT1: installing CentOS 7, let's see if this helps...

I see you solved the problem can you tell me your solution please . Thank you Newtonn Sorry for delay newtonn, but i swear never enter here again. My solution is the most painfull but at same time greatest for my life and community as i owner. I shutdown the server, community and ... me and my community stop play. Apparently Dwarden, Bistudio and your crew doesn´t care about arma 2 and constumers(people). Focus only in a3 and new costumers. Decisions are made based in logical and instant problems, maybe this is cultural...who knows. The point is: in community this is the best simulator combat and bug ever made. Some potential lost with bad decisions. My advice, sell the company to Americans and put in stock market. They will know how to solve these problems. I stop here because maybe i helping the company with my comments and at this time no longer my intention. And yxman "don't have any information to tell" as Dwarden said is = to ignoring you and your post, because he doesn´t care. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pacas00 10 Posted July 27, 2014 I've been having the same issue with the server getting stuck after 15:19:05 Dedicated host created. 15:19:06 BattlEye Server: Initialized (v1.192) 15:19:06 Host identity created. [s_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() failed. After going though my server.cfg and removing verifySignatures it starts now. Still get the SteamAPI issues but its running.

selfmega 10 Posted July 27, 2014 Hello, morphixgb and other guys having the "[s_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() failed." problem and "Session lost" problem The first error is happening because the server does check for graphical steam client running, but it seems that it does not affect the functionality, and can be ignored. The magic thing you need to do to get rid of "Session lost" is create file "steam_appid.txt" in server folder and put "33930" in there. That is how I got it working for me, after this server is showing up in 1.63 steam based game browser, and I can connect with current steam ArmA 2 OA client Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macros64 10 Posted July 28, 2014 Is there a way to launch server without installing GUI steam client? Where to put steamclient.so to server binary loads it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fdrph 1 Posted July 28, 2014 You may get the following error when starting a server with Linux: [s_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; unable to locate a running instance of Steam, or a local steamclient.dll. Resolve the issue by linking steamclient.so to the ~/.steam/sdk32/steamclient.so directory: ln -s steamcmd/linux32/steamclient.so ~/.steam/sdk32/steamclient.so this is from here: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macros64 10 Posted July 28, 2014 in my case it is already linked. No way. I see the same error. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fdrph 1 Posted July 29, 2014 I can confirm that linked or not linked it still shows up. However, server DOESNT need this message fixed to run properly. aka it's safe to ignore this. my server runs fine with it showing up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
