it looks like this problem has been addressed with the last patch and the *server is ignoring all incompatible entities - but finally, if you have no GPU with certain capabilities you still wont reach the stationeers prompt

*WindowsServer in my case - the picture on linux may be different of course, didnt you see ignoring - messages instead of errors regaring GUI and shader instructions on startup ?

this are some interessting lines I captured which I found interssting:

Microsoft Media Foundation video decoding to texture disabled: graphics device is Null, only Direct3D 11 and Direct3D 12 (only on desktop) are supported for hardware-

accelerated video decoding.
WARNING: Shader Unsupported: 'Hidden/FXAA Preset 3' - All subshaders removed

HDR Render Texture not supported, disabling HDR on reflection probe.

Fallback handler could not load library C:/steamcmd/stationeers/rocketstation_DedicatedServer_Data/MonoBleedingEdge/cimgui



btw: obvously its already "solved" on the beta branch (windows) at least - so I assume they're working on it.

do you have a link to the docker image?

[1stbiker]

@Tronx, I dont know what you mean. But the WINDOWSDedi now runs perfectly on non DX11+ machines. Obviously Linux has been fixed in particular. Did you update ?

[GhoStalker]

I had the same issues. It would start but wouldn't be listening for connections. It had to do with the startup params not telling it to actually load a world.

This guide is what finally got me going: https://github.com/rocket2guns/StationeersDedicatedServerGuide

It's being updated as issues are ironed out, and you can follow the status on the Stationeers Discord.

[Fire_Fly]

yeah same here, forgot to post an update, make sure you use the new commands for startup, old ones dont work anymore
