I think it will be quite a while until we get it.

The last release of anything for linux by BI was in July 2004.

Dedicated servers stopped being ported for linux then, the reason posted was that the linux development environment had crashed and noone familiar with it was around to fix it.

I suspect the linux knowledge has left the company. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about it but wait and hope someone gets around to porting it again.

too bad too bc then I would be willing to actually rent a server instead of using this current one.

If there is no competition outsourcing that part is important!

Errrrr... What?

The latest Linux version was the exact same than the latest Windows version. In other word, there was no more needs for more Linux dedi, exactly like there was no more need for Windows dedicated. They were both @ v1.96.

Nothing has been done for dedi since, be it Win or Linux

During ArmA Fan Day in Paris, February 14th, I had asked Marek Spanel a question on this topic :

Quote[/b] ]Armed Assault.info : and what about Linux game server ?

Marek Spanel : As I have previously said, we are already working on it and it will take ... 2, 3, 4 months to be done.

I am thinking that ArmA : Combat Operation release in the US is the main concern for BI now, so we are going to wait ... whistle.gif

1.96a - Improved: MP - Protection against hacked/invalid player IDs

1.96a - New: #debug version command can be used while logged as admin (both voted or real) to check server version

1.96b - Improved: MP: Implemented more anti-cheat and anti-hacking measures.

1.96c - Improved: MP: More anti-hacking measures.

Afaik the lastest linux version was the 1.96.
