Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/issues/1450

Attempted roughly 50 different re-installs the last 72 hours on both Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 12.04 using both 64-bit and 32-bit. As well as Debian 7.

All of them, regardless of how many validates and re-installs i attempt, return the following on debug

Console initialized.
Using breakpad crash handler
Setting breakpad minidump AppID = 80
Forcing breakpad minidump interfaces to load
Looking up breakpad interfaces from steamclient
Calling BreakpadMiniDumpSystemInit
FATAL ERROR (shutting down): W_LoadWadFile: couldn't load gfx.wad
email debug.log to linux@valvesoftware.com
Sat May 27 20:01:49 UTC 2017: Server restart in 10 seconds

Installation of a Condition Zero server using LinuxGSM can therefor be considered broken.

Reproduced the issue on Debian 8 x64.
Not sure where it comes from, maybe a change from Valve possibly to SteamCMD according to this https://steamcommunity.com/app/50/discussions/0/540737414276625248/ )

The thread you are referring to is from 2014, this problem is much more recent. Unless of course the same has happend again. Installed CZ successfully multiple times a few months ago.

Thanks @ultimatebyte, wasn't sure if I should have posted here with the CZ issue or just make my own...

Anyways, I did some testing today and did manage to make a work around.. I am in the process of replicating my workaround.. if I can do it again, I'll post and try and get a pull request if I can..

@Twonkk CZ and 1.6 are pretty similar in the way they're handled by SteamCMD and of course by LGSM.

Good to hear that you found a way to get it to work. Please share when you find it back.

@UltimateByte, thanks to @Gamma_Gandalph in Discord, using steam account with steam cmd fix's both games..

steps i used are;

log into user account that manages CS or CZ
rm -R serverfiles <--- Just to be safe
cd steamcmd
./steamcmd.sh
login user password <-- MUST USE STEAM ACCOUNT WITH ACCESS TO GAME
force_install_dir ../serverfiles <--- Thats two periods and forward slash
app_update 90 validate
quit
cd ../ <--- again, two periods and forward slash

./csserver start

works no problem now.. Looks like CS/CZ scripts need an update for steam accounts. i don't even know where to start to put a pull request in for... =D

Yes, I did.
They closed my post about this issue, but it's not working even using steam account.
I installed Steam in my windows machine, downloaded the game and uploaded the folder to linux server and it's working.

With LinuxGSM the download is always incomplete.

log into user account that manages CS or CZ

cd steamcmd
./steamcmd.sh

force_install_dir ../serverfiles <--- Thats two periods and forward slash

@Moshifan100 Are you looking to fix this or just looking to get your server up and running? I got it running by just fetching a backup from earlier and set it up as a new server, can provide you with a link to download the tar file if your sole goal is to get a server online you can play on.

You could copy the folder from a working game in windows to your server. It
did the trick here, cause the install never work here, never gets 100% game
download.

I'm just looking to set up a server, so it would be great if you could
send me the tar file.

@Twonkk LGSM staff or somebody that really wants it fixed will eventually get it and add the workaround to LGSM.

I confirm this is indeed a problem (and its probably not related to lsgm). We have the same issue on ubuntu 16, and ubuntu 14 (both baremetal and aws). We tried CS16, cscz, csgo. all the same problem. I even get this error manually with steamcmd (not through lsgm). Twonkk fix did not work (tried many times in different ways).

here's a debug log in case someone wants it. i guess i'll look for a tar of the game files for now.

I search by the error because my server won't starts and when I ran this workaround, I was able to start my server. But now I cannot find my server. So, I looked deeper and found the same error again. Here's my logs and details: https://hastebin.com/asujifaful

I'm running the server in an AWS EC2 t2.micro instance (should I upgrade the instance?) and this is the ports I've opened in my security group (inbound rules):

Same problem here. Tried the fixes (logging in with an actual steam account instead of logging in anonymously), always the same problem. gfx.wad not found.
It looks like the steamcommand just doesn't download all the necessary files to run this.
I ran into this issue without LinuxGSM as well, so is this a Steam / Valve problem? Have they just pulled the content? What a pita to get a simple cs server set up...

over the LinuxGSM installation.

So... the only solution is to wait for a download fix from Steam?

Had the same issue and tried to copy the files from my Mac, but now I get...

@ghost commented on GitHub (Oct 7, 2017):

Finally got this working after being determined to find a solution. It has nothing to do with the login as @Twonkk suggests. Instead, it's a rather old bug that seems to have re-appeared.

Noticed that there also has been created an issue specific to the matter #1637

Solution? Simple, @dgibbs64 posted it 5 years ago.

You need the manifest files located at https://github.com/dgibbs64/HLDS-appmanifest, tho, the location of where the manifest files needs to go, is not accurate, they need to go into serverfiles/steamapps

Basically, if you're trying to install Counter Strike 1.6, use the main files in the repo, that would be

appmanifest_10.acf
appmanifest_70.acf
appmanifest_90.acf

and place them in serverfiles/steamapps and install the server again

If you're trying to install Condition Zero, use the appmanifest_90.acf in the czero folder instead of the default appmanifest_90.acf

Successfully installed the server without any hiccups (Had to re-run the install a couple of times as it stopped and failed in the middle of the process, this is normal behavior as Steam barely does anything right) using those manifest files after reading https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=297163
