You are giving up? Do you know how to administer linux?
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.
You might just have to create a symbolic link to the libraries....
I can't seem to locate the libraries I need to link to.
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.
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
