Ah, ok, will try.
If SteamCMD is asked to validate the files it will also replace everything that doesn't match the selected branch. Meaning it should definitely "install" whatever you selected. Every other behaviour would be a bug in SteamCMD but I never got that to happen so far.
Yeah, the bootstrapper does install the prereqs on Debian based systems / systems using APT. But it's been that way for a looooong time now
Hm, will see if I get the same issue. Normally there should be absolutely no reason having to use the u52 builds for the dedicated build, especially on Linux.
Sorry about that part
Though I thought you could still run the 32 bit build just as before?
