You need to download libssl package for your linux distro...

Skillz:

--- Code: ---
root@server3 [/]# yum install libssl

Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

Setting up Install Process
No package libssl available.
Nothing to do

After doing some Google, it seems the command should be openssl instead.

Well I'm going to just assume that it's not possible to run this on CentOS 5.8 64Bit, which sucks. I've got so much time and effort into this box, switching to a different distribution simply isn't an option. Oh well, would have really liked to play the game, but when I tried I only seen one server that I wasn't able to join and I'm not going to host a server locally.

You are giving up? Do you know how to administer linux?

You might just have to create a symbolic link to the libraries....

This is the price of hosting on Linux, nothing is easy as there are 10000000 configurations.

Also, there are a lot of servers to play on... did you disable the "map view" mode? It's a checkbox on the in-game server browser, lower-left. With 4.2 you can play with bots.

Yes I am. The pay off doesn't seem worth it. I have other games I can play that I host games for. I've been working with Linux servers for ~10 years now. Not saying I "know how to administer linux" per se, but I'm familiar with working with it and installing dependencies; sometimes they pay off doesn't seem worth the trouble of trouble shooting issues.

I can't seem to locate the libraries I need to link to.

I must have had something disabled then, because I only seen one server. I'll load it up again and see if I can alter the filters to get more servers to load. I didn't mess with any settings when I installed it, except change the resolution 1920x1080 and turn the graphic settings to high everything.

Then I clicked browse servers and nothing showed up at first. Started a local game, got bored playing against the bots. Upon shutting down the local game, I seen a server list in the browser. Tried to join and it refused. Not sure what they error/message was when I tried to join but it was something about my Steam ID.

That's when I closed the game and started researching hosting my own dedicated server.

Seems that Ubuntu is the only official server, which I did start to download an Ubuntu ISO that I intend to load into a Virtual Machine and see if I can pull the libraries from it, but meh
