[Dicussion] Hosting server on Linux

[lycanwrath]

Hello,

How much free memory does the server need to run the bc2 server files please?

Hello,

How much free memory does the server need to run the BeeCeeToo server files please?

The server (without players) needs about 100 MB Ram while idling.

A server with 12 players needs about 200 MB Ram.

I am sticking this post as it has proven to be helpful to many people, but please explain in more detail on how to install the prerequisites such as winetricks.

Thanks,

For myself I was running the server in a screen session like this:

Code: Select all

screen -AmdS $SCREEN wine Frost.Game.Main_Win32_Final.exe -port $IP:$PORT -numGameClientSlots $SLOTS -serverInstancePath "Z:$INSTANCEDIR" -displayErrors 0 -displayAsserts 0 -crashDumpAsserts 0 -heartBeatInterval 20000 -plasmaServerLog 0 -crashDumpErrors 1 -timeStampLogNames -mapPack2Enabled 1 -region EU

You can kill it by closing the screen:

Code: Select all

screen -dr $SCREEN -X quit

Aye, I will write something up later. Although this will probably vary depending on the distro you use.

hi,
I'm sorry for my English first bad. Explained above, we need to do to run the game after installing a single thing on the following library.

apt-get install libgl1-mesa-swx11-dev

My distro is ubuntu server 12,10 i386

Hi,
is it possible with this Linux-Server to host a BF:BC2 Game in a LAN with a Internet-Connection to verify the account with the EA-Servers? It would be great if you could play BF: BC2 on Lan-Parties with that.

LAN will probably be implemented in a future revision.
