Note: AA:PG Official Servers and Support were shut down on May 5th, 2022, but Private Servers on Steam will remain accessible. IT IS ONLY Running flawless on UBUNTU Server, i had so much trouble with Debian .. was annoying.

tested with:

Ubuntu 22 Ubuntu 20

Follow the official SteamCMD instructions: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD#Ubuntu

sudo useradd -m steam sudo passwd steam sudo -u steam -s cd /home/steam

sudo add-apt-repository multiverse; sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386; sudo apt update sudo apt install steamcmd

steamcmd (sometimes buged) force_install_dir ../AAPG login anonymous app_update 203300 validate

Config, tweak, setup the following files: PCServer-AAGame PCServerLinux-AAGame AWSLaunchPCServer.sh AWSLaunchPCServer_Production.sh

For PunkBuster ANTICHEAT you can use my pbsv.cfg https://github.com/BestNoob/pbsv.cfg

cd "/steam/.steam/SteamApps/common/AAPG/Binaries/Linux/"

Start server with: ./AAPG& or ./AWSLaunchPCServer.sh& or ./AWSLaunchPCServer_Production.sh

Using tmux + crontab with ubunu 22.04 LTS is recommended, so everything fits with LinuxGSM

(tmux is better than screen, and tmux is used by LinuxGSM) sudo apt install -y curl wget unzip tmux screen software-properties-common

(to easy convert if u work with windows) sudo apt install dos2unix -y

and use your own start_aapg.sh (AWSLaunchPCServer_Production.sh is not needed)

Editing: PCServerLinux-AAGame.ini is all u need (created after first start), but also punkbuster .. there are cheaters .. everywhere .. in 2025 ... look behind u maybe there is one ...

! Important ! To use active protection with ACI Live Secure and not only PBBans you need a ftp or http server that shares public the folder pbsvss .. but every single time i tried to setup such the game server itself was no longer running after that .. always a issue with steam and aapg
