The latest version of HLDS 9907 is not compatible with the latest version of Rehlds

This is easily solved by installing the 8684 hlds version, pre-anniversary update, aka "steam_legacy" branch. That branch also has proper mod support.

The steamcmd command to install HLDS is:
app_update 90 -beta steam_legacy validate

Alternatively the (clean) files for 8684 are archived here, in case steamcmd is giving you any trouble:
Linux: https://dl.rehlds.ru/hlds/hlds_linux_8684.zip or https://archive.org/download/hlds_8684/hlds_linux_8684.zip
Windows: https://dl.rehlds.ru/hlds/hlds_windows_8684.zip or https://archive.org/download/hlds_8684/hlds_windows_8684.zip

I used the steamcmd command and I still get this version Exe build: 23:25:09 Dec 9 2023 (9907), should I change the launch parameter?

I just tested this on a fresh VM of Debian 10 (Buster), with the non-free repository enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list and no other modifications.

So there must be something wrong with your installation. Also due to the fact that steamcmd is distributed via package managers in various Linux distros, there are probably bugs and differences between versions. Package managers are notorious for this.

The Windows version on the other hand is same for everyone, and works fine. Sometimes it has bugs too though when downloading things, that's why the validate option is recommended.

steamcmd can be finicky. This is exactly why I gave the link to the pre-downloaded archive in my above comment, along with the comment "in case steamcmd is giving you any trouble" 🙂

In that case, the whole process is much simpler:

wget https://dl.rehlds.ru/hlds/hlds_linux_8684.zip
unzip hlds_linux_8684.zip

./hlds_run -console -game cstrike

version
> Protocol version 48

> Exe build: 19:52:19 Aug  3 2020 (8684)

GG ! 👍

For even easier installation, it's possible to get archives of HLDS with ReHLDS preinstalled along with the default plugins MetaMod, AMX Mod X, etc. from the ReHLDS.ru site: https://rehlds.ru/index.php?id=rehlds_game_server
