Hi Fletcher, Seems to work fine on 64-bit Debian 8 (Jessie). Haven't had any players join yet so I'm not sure if connections or gameplay will be affected, but the server itself started up just fine. I'm running 6 instances of SRCDS on different IPs on the same box, and CS:GO still is bound to the correct IP.
