I have hl2_linux in the same folder as hl2.sh. Also tried running it as sudo and got the same error.

[user@fedora tf2]$ ls bin hl2.sh srcds.bat start_tf2.sh hl2 LICENSE_SDK start_server.bat steam_appid.txt hl2.bat platform start_server.sh tf hl2_linux README.md start_tf2.bat thirdpartylegalnotices.txt

[mastercoms]

you haven't copied over a tf2 installation, you need to set up a separate tc2 folder with the files from tf2 live and then install this on top of that. there's a community script which manages this.

[mastercoms]

https://github.com/mastercomfig/tf2-patches/blob/60e1a370414f5c2a0a541175ad7bf81ba4fdb977/game_clean/link.sh

[mastercoms]

With this script, make a tc2 folder. then in that folder, make a folder called scripts and put this in there. make another folder called game as well. then run link.sh, it will link your steam tf2 to the tc2 folder

[kittyron]

I ran the script and got this error:

cp: cannot stat 'copy/': No such file or directory ln: failed to create symbolic link '../game/hl2': File exists ln: failed to create symbolic link '../game/platform': File exists ln: failed to create symbolic link '../game/tf/maps': No such file or directory mkdir: cannot create directory ‘../game/tf/materials’: No such file or directory ln: failed to create symbolic link '../game/tf/materials/models': No such file or directory ln: failed to create symbolic link '../game/tf/materials/vgui': No such file or directory ln: failed to create symbolic link '../game/tf/media': No such file or directory ln: failed to create symbolic link '../game/tf/resource': No such file or directory ln: failed to create symbolic link '../game/tf/scripts': No such file or directory ln: target '../game/bin/': No such file or directory ln: target '../game/tf/': No such file or directory ln: target '../game/tf/': No such file or directory

It copied over only hl2, hl2.sh and platform to game folder.

How are you compiling TC2? Are you using #629?

[kittyron]

Script now works. I thought that all I had to do was to copy the script that mastercoms linked and not download the whole GitHub repo. But the error remains: ./hl2.sh: line 69: /var/home/user/Downloads/tf2-patches-base/game/hl2_linux: cannot execute: required file not found

[kittyron]

I'm not compiling TC2 myself, I'm using version from releases

[getchoo]

are you using the flatpak version of steam?

[kittyron]

are you using the flatpak version of steam?

Yes I am

[getchoo]

it doesn't work for tc2. i tried messing with it but couldn't figure it out - it must be something going on with their modified runtime. you can layer the steam package from the rpmfusion repository with rpm-ostree and it'll work fine

Installed steam with rpm-ostree and hl2.sh now launches, but I get another error:

when you ran link.sh did you put the path to your tf2 installation as an argument? it defaults to the regular package installation, so if you didn't it could explain not finding engine.so and the No such file or directory warnings from your previous responses

When I had TF2 installed through flatpak steam then yes I put TF2 installation as an argument, but now I installed TF2 through normal steam. Tried specifying path to TF2 installed through normal steam and the same error shows up.

[kittyron]

I can see that I have engine.so in game folder.

[kittyron]

Don't know what I did, but it started working (didn't change anything from the last time I tried to run). Except the game is too bright, and I get error about limited glyph support, but maybe I will open another issue if someone else didn't.

[kittyron]

Right now I doubt I installed it without screwing something up, there are too many bugs.

• Soldier going to sleep at the end of the taunt
• Disappearing weapons after shooting
• Game is too bright
