dedicated servers for self hosting?

[Wicked Swashbuckler]

are we gonna get dedicated servers for self hosting at all or is this just going to be nitrado only, if so this game despite the good graphics is not worth the buy to begin with, as this is what made the game great and gave it a huge following was the freedom of mods and self hosting of a server to play with friends, if this does not carry over from the old to the new it will fail...

"Hi how are you? since this is a new release it's not possible yet, Wildcard might release further permits in the future, but this is something we need to wait for them and to see how the game develops, they will most likely have more information in their forums and social media"

At least they didn't exclude this as a possibility.

btw. also tried to look in the Nitrado logs as well as on the FTP server, but I'm only able to see the regular GameUserSettings.ini and Game.ini config files, as well as some log files.

They also host the server on Windows. Let's hope there will be server files available soon and one for Linux as well.

This is a deflection they have a contract with Snail Games that gives them exclusive rights to Host servers and also only allows 1 server per account that owns ASA. So can't host say a PvE and a PvP server unless by 2 copies and then can't use account to log into the server.

I tried your guide, and i have tried something similar eailier in the day.. Same outcome. The serverwindow opens, and I see the first lines of text where it tries to launch, but it then just closes after 1 or 2 sec.
I am running inside a VM on Proxmox.. Windows 10.

Does anyone have any ideas ?

What specs are the VM? hyper V ? VM Ware? windows based or linux? I should say the way i got it running is Windows Based

Well.. Proxmox is a linux platform, and the VM that I am running is a windows 10 Enterprise LTSC
It not VMware or HyperV, it their own version.... But it is the same VM that have been running my 5 other ASE servers for two years.

I head another guy somewhere online saying that if you are running a VM, then you have to trick the VM to think that it is a real CPU..... But I am still investigating how to do that.

Can you copy and paste the Crash Stack? or type it out what you getting?

My expertice kind of stops here...

For those running the server via a Proxmox hypervisor (at the very least) getting a sudden crash on map loading (as per the above crashstack), the issue appears to be a weak DRM to cause a crash when the software detects that the server is hosted in a VM by way of the CPU name.

Shut down the VM, and under the Hardware section ensure the CPU is set to be anything but a KVM based CPU. I set mine to EPYC and I'm able to properly load the server.

Hmmm. That is interesting I wonder if its trying to classify as a linux files. Are you able to try on a full windows OS? i know there are issues with linux files not out there yet.

Incorrect. I have a dedicated server working fine on an old Windows desktop.

This also worked for me in a TrueNAS Scale VM. Just had to change the "CPU Model" to EPYC and worked fine.

i think the community needs to make its own mod server browser and servers that bypass the nitrado ♥♥♥♥

Hey guys, for the one who manage to run your self hosted server, is someone using windows server ?
