ei8ght 11 Posted October 1, 2013 Let us finally have a patch for Linux servers? no news from BIS? We have to wait one year for a chance to have a linux patch server? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sancron 32 Posted October 1, 2013 Why you do not switch over to Wine? Since Wine 1.6, Arma 3 and other Tools like BEC runs fine without errors. So this is maybe the answare, why BI take so long to bring an nativ Linux version. I was host 2 Servers on Windows and 2 Servers on Wine for testing. Personally i mean that the Servers i have started in Wine, runs better then the Server i was host in Windows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ei8ght 11 Posted October 1, 2013 Linux server is much cheaper and easier then with a WIN is more expensive. What BEC? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwarden 1125 Posted October 1, 2013 as i wrote in the dedicated server thread, you need wait, until we have some work to talk about or show or release there is no point to say anything ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sancron 32 Posted October 1, 2013 So WINE is the solution for you, it's an runtime enviorment for Linux, to run Windows software. So you don't need to buy a Windows License or enything else, only a Server that runs Linux (i prefere Ubuntu Server LTS). There are several Tutorials in the WWW, that describe how to start Arma 3 Windows Server on Linux with WINE. BEC are BattlEye Extended Controls, it extend the features of BattlEye a little bit. Just browse to ibattle.org Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
