TF2 Server on a Pentium III 2x1GHz Debian server
#1
Hi. I've been trying to install the TF2 Dedicated Server on my Debian machine for a couple of days now, and I read about every thread in this forum, but nothing worked.

First things first: When I issue the verify_all command, all files are there. When that wasn't working, I thought maybe I'd get the files from somewhere else, I deleted the whole folder, and then downloaded a .tar.bz2 from this forum, extracted it, tried to run it but the same error came up. Then I updated the unpacked folder using hldsupdate, and verify_all'd it, and again, my server is up to date.

The error I keep getting is the "bad bone weights".

I run the server using (for example, but it doesn't really matter):

epo@red:~/tf2/orangebox$ ./srcds_run -game tf -console -tickrate 100 -fps_max 500 +map ctf_2fort -debug

Code:
Auto detecting CPU
Using default binary.
Enabling debug mode
Please install gdb first.
goto http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/
Server will auto-restart if there is a crash.

After some more reading on newsgroups, I found out that maybe Pentium III's aren't supported? Can anyone confirm this? This is my /proc/cpuinfo:

What could I try next?

Your processor doesn't support sse2 so sadly you either need to get a more modern processor or wait for Valve to release an update Sad

Thanks for your reply! Can you point to a thread on the SteamPowered.com forums where this problem is discussed? I tried multiple searches but I found nothing.

Also, the posts in the link you provided are from 25/9, which was 3 weeks ago. Then they said a solution was coming "soon", so maybe it'll be solved within a few days?

The release was made, but never fixed the problem (Valve have most probably just given up - don't blame them).

Thanks. I read the threads, and it seems that my only option is to run it with Wine, although I don't want to install an X-server on my system. So I'm kinda stuck. If Valve decides not to work on this problem, I won't be able to run a TF2 server.

My server is a 2x1Ghz PIII, with 2GB RAM and a SCSI Raid5. I would say that it is pretty fast, and has a lot of memory. Maybe I could install a VMWare image of a stripped down Windows XP, and then run it there? But then again, I'd have to install X-Server...

Bah :-)

Let me update myself. I have managed to get it to work, but it's not an ideal situation... What I did:

1. Followed this guide on a Windows system: http://tf2wiki.net/wiki/Windows_Dedicated_Server

2. FTP'ed the exact map structure to my Linux server.

3. Did some reading about X-Forwarding over SSH, because the Win32 server version opens an extra screen with server info in it, whereas the linux version doesn't. Since my server doesn't have an X-server, and I don't plan to install one, I had to forward the X-related information to a system which HAS an X-server, in casu my ubuntu laptop.

4. I start the server with "wine [windows server command]" which opens an X screen on my laptop. And the server is running.

Unfortunately, this has 2 downsides:

1. When I shutdown my laptop, the server quits.

2. Even when I run a screen in which I start the server, the forwarded X-screen opened by the start-server command stays alive on my laptop. I can't find a way to shutdown my laptop without the server being killed.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for your help so far.

use screen and run a screen on the linux server, then when you disconnect it stays active
