Problems starting Left for Dead 2

Technical Support
1

OS Name/Version: Fedora Server 42

Product Name/Version: AMP Release “Phobos” v2.6.1.6, built 21/04/2025

Problem Description:
Left for Dead 2 fails on start up, creating a segfault each time I start it.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Step 1 - start up and failure
  • Step 2 - start up and failure
  • Step 3 - start up and failure

Actions taken to resolve so far:
I’m running this in a VM with 16 gb ram and 4 cpu cores. I deleted and rebuilt the VM and reinstalled AMP and Left For Dead 2 each time. After it fails, I see a segfault error on the VM console. There’s nothing in the L4D2 console at all and the deployment log doesn’t show anything either. I’m assuming the problem is related to something missing or a conflict somewhere. Without knowing where AMP is keeping the logs, I’m stuck.

All assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

The issue is likely related to not having the required dependencies to run srcds servers on your distro. You can try as root:

getamp installSrcdsDeps

Failing that you’d have to do some research

That was the issue! Needed the dependencies installed.

Thank you!
