I can't start CS:GO server on my Ubuntu 14.04. I did everything exactly like in guide here. BUT before that I installed tmux 2.2 for other reason. I think default version is 1.8.

csgoserver@redsquadron:~$ ./csgoserver start
[ .... ] Starting csgo-server: protocol version mismatch (client 8, server 7)
lost server
[ FAIL ] Starting csgo-server: Unable to start LinuxGSM

Your tmux installation is messed up. Whatever version you installed, you still got both installed, which is why you're getting this error.

I think default version is 1.8.

That doesn't make any sense. The only distro that still uses 1.8 is like CentOS 6. Recent ubuntu with proper package repos set are not using tmux 1.8 for sure. Tmux 1.8 is crap, nobody should use this version.
1.9 used in Debian 8 is totally fine though.

I've seen this kind of issues before, search for tmux on github & the steam forum, you'll find it.

If you don't find the answer, then post a thread on steam forums with proper details, since this is not an LGSM issue, it has no place on github.

Yea, it was tmux fault. I reinstalled it to 2.0 and it works now.
