[Bug]: CS2 install script is getting stuck

[Nuc1eoN]

User story

As a server admin, I want to set up a CS2 server

Game

CS2

Linux distro

AlmaLinux 9.3

Command

command: install

Further information

I am trying to install CS2 following the instructions from the website: https://linuxgsm.com/servers/cs2server/

I have put the username and pw inside lgsm/config-lgsm/cs2server/common.cfg. My account is secured by SteamGuard with e-mail verification.

I am typing ./cs2server install according to the instructions.

The script checks all deps, which are OK, and then gets stuck on

[ START ] Installing cs2server: SteamCMD

This is stuck indefinitely. I have found out that when I press enter I will get more output however:

[ START ] Installing cs2server: SteamCMD

tid(13313) burning pthread_key_t == 0 so we never use it
Redirecting stderr to '/home/cs2server/.local/share/Steam/logs/stderr.txt'

Please check your email for the message from Steam, and enter the Steam Guard

You can also enter this code at any time using 'set_steam_guard_code'
 at the console.
Steam Guard code:FAILED (Account Logon Denied)
Complete! Installing cs2server: SteamCMD
[ ERROR ] Installing cs2server: No appmanifest_730.acf found
[ INFO ] Installing cs2server: Forcing update to correct issue
[ START ] Installing cs2server: SteamCMD

Since nothing happens, and the script is stuck indefinitely I am pressing ENTER again and get:

tid(13355) burning pthread_key_t == 0 so we never use it
Redirecting stderr to '/home/cs2server/.local/share/Steam/logs/stderr.txt'

Steam Guard code:FAILED (Account Logon Denied)
Complete! Installing cs2server: SteamCMD
[ FAIL ] Installing cs2server: Still no appmanifest_730.acf found

At that point the script exits.

The script makes me aware that I should use set_steam_guard_code to enter my email verification code, but that command does not seem to exist on my system or the information on how to use this command is unclear.

I assume the script is not supposed to get stuck in the first place? It seems to be a bug unless I am mistaken. At least I followed the instructions exactly but cannot get it up and running.

i am also facing same issue

[dgibbs64]

CS2 us anonymous login and no login details are required

[Nuc1eoN]

I thought anonimous login for CS2 is not possible anymore?

[dgibbs64]

it was changed to anonymous not long after release. No logins are required

[Nuc1eoN]

Ok? I didn't know. Then documentation on https://linuxgsm.com/servers/cs2server/ install section should be updated to reflect that.

Good spot. Thanks I will update it 😄
