Problems with Steamcmd and SDL priority manager

[The Stoffie ♫]

Hello community,

I started an update on our ark server and then I got this error message. Before that, the server was running without problems. It's about a Linux server Debian 9 with SSH access.

I restarted the server (root). Same message.
I reinstalled Steamcmd. Same message.
I have created a new user. Same message.
I then reinstalled Steamcmd. Same message.

I have now read through about 50 pages and find nothing about this error.

Maybe you can help me there. I would be really happy if someone could help me there.

I thank you in advance

Translate with Google ;-)

Same here!
Not just with Ark, same with Csgo, Cs1.6, CsCz, Rust at least ;)
It is a steam global problem..

You can ignore this error message. The update will still run without problems. If you have problems starting your server, look here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/346110/discussions/0/1751275687421356824/

The developers have once again forgotten the libsteam_api.so The problem currently affects all ark servers on linux. Just add the libsteam_api.so in ShooterGame/Binaries/Linux.
If you have any mods installed, you will need to disable them for now because even these are causing massive problems right now.

I'm also having the same trouble.
Is there any fix?

This info may not be correct. From what I have read the correct location is <InstallLocation>/Engine/Binaries/Linux and not under the Engine folder in ShooterGame
Additionally this fix does not make sense. The problem appears to be with the steam downloader steamcmd and not the downloaded content.
I still get "SDL not found'. The update appears to succeed.

+1 same issue on Ubuntu

Ubuntu 18.04 same problem

I get the same error on my 7dtd docker, looks like the linux steam has some bugs.

Ubuntu 18.04 with the same problem here as well.

This worked. I used a symlink.
