📄 Description

Description

Based on the following reddit thread https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/xshlyk/dedicated_server_on_linux_crossplay_switch_not/

Enabling crossplay on linux server required installing some additional dependencies. Out of the 3 mentioned there only libatomic1 and libpulse-dev seem to be required.
Once they have been installed and -crossplay flag is set the server succesfully registers with PlayFab and is visible in microsoft store version of the game.

I've only tested this setup on Ubuntu 22.04 and was able to see the server both in steam browser and in xbox pc version.

Server logs show the following PlayFab registration and join code assignment:

03/23/2024 21:35:49: Game server connected
03/23/2024 21:35:52: Joined PlayFab Party network with ID "<REDACTED>"
03/23/2024 21:35:53: Created PlayFab lobby with ID "<REDACTED>", ConnectionString "<REDACTED>" and owned by "<REDACTED>"
03/23/2024 21:35:53: Session "My Server" registered with join code 701230
03/23/2024 21:35:54: Retry join-code check 99
03/23/2024 21:35:56: Session "My Server" with join code 701230 and IP <REDACTED>:2456 is active with 0 player(s)

Fixes #4543
