[Question] Linux Servers
- Thread starter Peep
- Start date
You're welcome to install some crazy server flavour of Windows on your hardware, see how it performs, and compare that to how Wine performs. Don't forget to tell us the numbers.
Ok excuse the translation from my tech.
We are are going to try running two game servers from a linux box running windows through a VPS or maybe two VPSs.
Apparently we are going to dedicate two cores and 4 gig of ram to each VPS.
I'll let report back in a few days on how it all goes.

I not see the advantage of using an emulator to use a different system especially for game servers that requires a lot of resources,"Wine" is not made for gaming at the base,more for software,but its i do not think linux administrators like me to agree to pass on this system, everyone will tell you there is a real gain in performance and stability on Linux systems, we are still waiting linux binaries,we never change for windows especially for game servers.
Yep i will go back to linux when they are out its just for other work reasons the server I have got needs to be linux based.
We just got hold of it tonight and the wholesaler is now installing the software.
I'll let you know how it performs in a day or so.
We are basically going to through all the server resources into the one VPS apparently.

Yup. I've ran less resource hungry servers through wine before and I ran into all manner of annoying issues. I dread to think what would happen with something as resource-hungry as this.
In other news: Still no news. Awesome! :/
As you say : AWESOME
The developers could at least say if it's planned even though it's not for now ! I will not rent a Windows server for 6 months if the Linux server is provided in 2 months !!!

Agreed. Though I won't be renting a Windows server for any number of months. If no linux support comes out then I simply won't run a server.
Many of teams French abandoned the project to create a RO2 section because they use only linux server.

My linux with windows VPS experiment failed.
Got it running smoothly up to 35 people and then pings were through the roof.
My set up is only a partial clan backed thing, but i would imagine a lot of clans would run linux boxes and would be staying out of this game until the linus issue is resolved.
Clans kept RO1 going for as long as it did and will drag this one along I reckon.
Mighty strange behaviour to remain so silent on the issue but i guess they have other priorities like ranking and sound issues.

I think dev have actually a lot of work for update game and SDK and the Linux server binaries are probably not their priority today.
Like a lot of clans, we have only Linux servers and don't want Windows server for any reason
So we are waiting for these binaries.
Till release the linux binaries, we can't considering opening any competitive RO2 team in our clan ( for training, tactics, etc ... )

If you don't mind me asking, what specs are you running for your physical server and what resources did you devote to the Windows VM?
The server is Xeon R E31270 3.4 ghz
In terms of resources it got it all !
It is an empty dedicate sever 8gig mem plus all the rest. In a very nice data centre in Sydney.
Nothing makes sense anymore.
