[Feature]: Support for 64 bit Team Fortress 2 binary

Open iassis opened this issue 2 months ago • 0 comments

User story

Scaling up servers well beyond the typical 32 slot is very hard with the older 32 bit binaries, 64 bit in theory enables a much broader support for higher performing hardware and scaling up servers to larger configurations

Game

Team Fortress 2

Linux distro

Ubuntu 24.04

Command

command: install

Further information

Current SteamCMD already ships with both x86 and x64 SRCDS binaries which are downloaded by LinusGSM, however, only srcds_run is being executed in the server launch command while the user doesn't have the ability to use srcds_run_64 as an option if they're running beefier hardware platforms or willing to host larger servers - eg. 100x player servers.

This seems to be a very low hanging fruit as it would just require updating the current server start script to run srcds_run_64 instead of srcds_run since all the software is already capable of running x64 code and ships with both binaries as default anyways.
