What OS can the server be run on?

[KennyKyle]

Can the server run on vps through ubuntu or CentOS?

It can but it is not stable,and you have to run server in batch mode - meaning only 1 CPU core can be utilized,meaning your server would suck for more than 2 players.. Also there is bottle neck in code which make your CPU go to 100% and never drop even tiny bit.. Meaning you will get kicked by your host ;). Support my thread to get release date of linux native files...

Doesn't it do the same for windows server too?

Well, you do not have to run the server in batch mode on windows.. That way you will have better performances on the server.

the game is done in unity so its using mono already so all that nelson has to do is do a linux build and then it should run on linux, you just have to get steam client on linux to run on your box

mac support is also as easy

well assuming he's not done stuff that is very specific to windows and does not use native libraries that would need to be ported if not available on linux/mac


until then check this out (using wine)

So batch mode is worse then the client ?

The issue is WINE emulation is only as stable as the code. As many have said if Nelson helps support going to linux native than things would work alot easier. I can tell you the client works just fine using WINE on my Kali laptop so I would expect the server to run just as well. The other option is using VirtualBox and just making a server VM that you can boot up in the background. This would also allow you to use other Windows based server programs without having to "emulate" them using WINE.

The other other option is to have another hard drive and dual boot, one client OS and one server OS. This would limit you from playing on the same machine as the server but in all honesty you should have a second dedicated PC anyway for any real server hosting.

i use vps, but it's quite expensive and want to change to something cheaper. Thats why im asking, becuse there's a lot of ubuntu and centos servers.
