User story

Fresh install - using tutorial. Install runs fine, mod install works, validation works. However, when starting - it hangs.

Game

Rust

Linux distro

Ubuntu 22.04

Command

command: start

Further information

[S_API] SteamAPI_Init(): Loaded local 'steamclient.so' OK.
CAppInfoCacheReadFromDiskThread took 1 milliseconds to initialize
dlmopen steamservice.so failed: steamservice.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Setting breakpad minidump AppID = 252490
SteamInternal_SetMinidumpSteamID:  Caching Steam ID:  76561197960265728 [API loaded no]
[S_API FAIL] Tried to access Steam interface SteamNetworkingUtils004 before SteamAPI_Init succeeded.

This is the last thing I see - and then nothing. Service continues running - but does nothing, no apparent network activity, and no cpu/memory changes.

I've let it sit for a while - nothing.

Instance settings are just basic Rust server configs.

There is no "steamclient.so" anywhere in the installation folders. User running the service has sudo.

Relevant log output

No response

Steps to reproduce

Fresh install, ./rustserver start
