You can no longer activate new Windows 11 builds with Windows 7 or 8 keys; maybe last chance to activate using Windows 7 or 8 keys, for 22H2. (www.neowin.net)

windows...as a server...?

[–] neshura@bookwormstory.social 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Space Engineers has no Linux Dedicated Server so I'm forced to run a Windows VM. It's the only piece of software I've encountered that problem with and it boggles my mind why they chose to do that

The same reason I set up a windows vm yesterday.

Space Engineers. There are dockers for it but since Single Player on Linux is already suffering in Performance I don't think the server in docker on wine will perform better.

And I used a Windows Image that I used for personal installs and never had the issue that it shutdown unactivated. Some settings aren't available though. Nothing usually you need.

Getting Space Engineers to run on Linux is a constant experience of "Ooohh, it works. Now don't touch anything or it'll break!". There are some docker containers out there that seem to work but then I'd lose the advantage of Torch and I'm not about to do that.

Really hope they provide a Linux Server for Space Engineers 2 (I assume that is what they will work on once Vrage3 is done)
