Description

### User story

I want to run L4D2 server through LinuxGSM.

### Game

Left 4 Dead 2

Debian 12

### Command

command: install

### Further information

Hi.
I've used to run l4d2 instances on other Debian 12 machines with LinuxGSM many times, but now I'm not allowed to run it anymore, not even running it manually with steamcmd

LinuxGSM output:

Waiting for client config...OK
Waiting for user info...OK
ERROR! Failed to install app '222860' (Invalid platform)
Error! Installing l4d2server: SteamCMD: Unknown error occured
