Linux: Wine + ArmA2Server.exe

Recommended Posts

Hi,

is there anybody who runs the dedicated server via wine? I tried to but it freezes after the Server is created.

My wine version is 1.1.22.

Maybe someone has the same problem or maybe a solution. ;)

I'm about to try it, but like to test it on a local server installation first. I don't like to upload 8.8 GB first (or 7.3 GB zipped) before i'm not absolutely sure it will work afterwards...

My target OS will be an Ubuntu 9.04 (Server Ed.) on an Intel i7 920 Quad, 8 GB Ram. I'll give a feedback till the next weekend and would be interested in your install details/experiences...

I'm sorry to say that i failed to get "Arma2server.exe" working under Linux using Wine. My system is an Ubuntu "Hardy 8.04, Server Ed." and i tried the last stable Wine (1.01) and the newest developer branch (1.1.24).

I added two necessary DLL's (OpenAL32.dll, X3DAudio1_5.dll) to the "windows/system" folder within ".wine" and used XMing and Putty to display the Ubuntu X-server on my Vista desktop.

After starting "Arma2server.exe" with "wine ArmA2Server.exe -config=server.cfg -port=2302 -netlog" i got the "progress" window and later the "server-message" window saying "Dedicated host created".

Under Wine 1.01 the application than freezes (Termination with CTRL-C still possible), with Wine 1.1.24 a "Program Error" window pops up, saying

In the linux terminal window there is the following Wine ouput:

Wine (1.01)

BTW: The first line starting with "ALSA.." are just indicating that there is no soundcard (-driver) installed which is OK and has no effect on the following errors...

I will post at the WineHQ buglist, maybe there's a solution...

Hope you tried to run it in a virtual box also?

I know some doing that - works quite easy (Ubuntu) - but as of today the bandwidth wasn't really good - for whatever reason !

IMO Wine is a bad idea for a gameserver. Just for starters, it requires running XWindows on a server. Unnecessary software should not be run on servers in order to minimize the attack surface. I certainly hope that BI doesn't think a GUI is necessary for their native Linux binary!
