[Guide] [Debian] T6 Server on Linux VPS/Dedicated Server

VZLAxSmoke Are you having cpu usage problem with wine? Here the usage is pretty high too. Just turning on the container already takes up 50% of a cpu core.

This on strong processors like Ryzen 7 5800X.

I think the way here will be to run on windows..

I wanted to avoid having to pay the license fee, but there's no way around it hehe

Right, so I've gotten everything working, ports are forwarded in ufw, server is sending heartbeat and its succeeding but when i go into the game and try to launch it doesn't work. I'm using Contabo and have contacted them and they have told me that they do not block any ports.

VZLAxSmoke

@Apex_1 it is not necessary to do that part of enabling ports in linux and I recommend you better use window 2019 server

but you can use windows free or that your provider can put your own iso or you buy a license for 6 $ I can pass you a page where they sell cheap licenses

VZLAxSmoke I understood. Thanks.

Did you manage to solve the CPU problem?

VZLAxSmoke

no friend and you always when executing the server is already consuming 40 to 50% when it is full add more %

VZLAxSmoke I still haven't been able to solve it. But I did one thing that relieved the CPU which was to limit the amount of cores a container can use. Consumption has been greatly reduced.

that's good my bro I'm a bit nob in linux but if it's with a series of commands you'll be great

VZLAxSmoke I'm using pterodactyl, so just define that you will use 1 or two cores and you can configure if you will use 50~100$ of this core when creating the server.

But, you can see in docker how to constrain the container.

VZLAxSmoke

the truth is I don't use that panel I could never understand how to use another panel to run the game

For those who try to use Ubuntu 20.04 / Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS Here are the WINE Setup for you!

# Allow i386 Architecture
dpkg --add-architecture i386 && \
apt-get update && \
apt-get install wget gnupg2 software-properties-common -y

apt install -y apt-transport-https

# We will now setup the winehq key and repository
wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key

apt-key add winehq.key && \
apt-add-repository 'deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ focal main'

# Setup key and repository for dependency of wine
wget -nc https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine:/Debian/xUbuntu_20.04/Release.key

apt-key add Release.key && \
apt-add-repository 'deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Emulators:/Wine:/Debian/xUbuntu_20.04 ./'

# Update repository 
apt-get update

## Now we will install wine
apt-get install -y --install-recommends winehq-stable

# Remove key files
rm winehq.key Release.key

Also remeber to use a BareMetal / Dedicated server. VPS Server are not good and may decrease some performance and stability issues!

@NomexPlayZ Hey friend,

I will test with this configuration. I'm using docker and a container with only the server on (no players) easily consumes 70% of a CPU core (or 35% of two cores), probably some incompatibility of plutonium-bootstraper-win32.exe with wine, since it was probably written for windows.

I did a test on windows, the server on (without players) hardly consumes more than 5% of cpu.

I'm using a bare metal server with Ryzen 3600X + 500GB NVMe and 32gb ram

I try to start the Sever and get this error:

And idea how i can fix this?

nocat.

CelliXz I am also getting this error, did you end up finding a way around it?

flopana

nocat. Had the same problem

apt install xvfb
echo -e 'export DISPLAY=:0' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
Xvfb $DISPLAY -screen 0 1024x768x16 &

But im stuck here

flopana Update

I've got it now running and sending heartbeats (I forgot to add the symlinks). But for some reason the server always tries to load a _rank.gsc which doesn't exist and throws an error

flopana How did you fix this?

Synth How did I fix what?

I had as couple other unresolved externals, but i could get the server up and running, just not connect to it. (awaiting connection ... xx) then booted out to lobby. Even after updating plutonium using the plutonium-updater executable, same problem.
