tested out FEAR on Linux (CentOS) and the game installs correctly. When I try to start the game through the server control panel it fails ...

I had issues myself with FEAR.

I can get it running fine in the end, however the game will not stop when asked to - the kill command seems to have little to no effect.

Ill add this to our bug list (because fear linux servers dont die unless you sigterm them for some reason).

Tried this again today, was curious if things are now working. Same result, server won't start. Have you made any progress on this?

The server should definitely start - it just wont shutdown.

I am in the process of looking at fixing some issues with GC Client, and will note this down as one to fix.

The problem is that the server starts fine (be sure you have the required libraries installed the game may need - we cannot install them for you via GC at this time) but the process is ignorant and will not shutdown correctly, so will look into issuing a SIGKILL if necessary (although we may already do that, I need to check!).

Try starting the server manually from the command line to see whether any issues appear.
