CentOS 6.4 + Wine + Nexus (Server)

[Whoops]

Not from your desktop or VMware etc. Anyone done the above on a dedicated server?

What..

What are you talking about? A bit more info perhaps?

[Kerrigan]

Explain what you want to achieve instead of asking random questions...

[Whoops]

It is not a random question. Dedicated server owners would understand. Assuming the dedicated server is on CentOS 6.4, installing WINE and setup Nexus BC2. The Linux guide in this forum mainly works for desktop based setup but for dedicated servers, it fails on display drivers etc. My original question was directed to server owners who may have installed WINE on CentOS 6.4 and got BC2 working using server hardware (not desktop).

I doubt Server Owners visit these forums often. Rather, you should go to their websites and try to ask them. I've seen many servers titled after their website so it'd be best to ask there or to specify your question as a question instead of listing things in the title and expecting someone to understand the message. Just saying. Other than that, I can't really help you. Had Linux on my Laptop but since I needed it for Gaming, changed it to Windows 7. Sorry for not being of much help

Install Wine, install some screening app and setup your server?

Actually, the Linux tutorial is made specifically for dedicated servers with no desktop environment (console-only). I host my servers that way and I know that other people were successful in doing so using that guide as well. You're probably doing something wrong. Perhaps you didn't install OpenGL drivers or you are not setting the DISPLAY environment variable. Note, that the variable is set only for the tty you export it on. This means that if you're running you server in a screen session, you have to set that variable for EVERY screen session separately. Otherwise, you will get display errors like the ones you mentioned.

Assuming you use the settings I mentioned in the tutorial, try this to start your server:

Code: Select all

killall Xvfb 2> /dev/null
killall x11vnc 2> /dev/null
Xvfb :1 -screen 0 800x600x16 &
x11vnc -display :1  -bg -forever -rfbauth ~/.vnc/passwd
export DISPLAY=:1

wine Frost.Game.Main_Win32_Final.exe -serverInstancePath "Instance/" -mapPack2Enabled 1 -port 19567 -timeStampLogNames -region EU -heartBeatInterval 20000 -displayErrors 0 -displayAsserts 0

Yeah CactusPie, it is the OpenGL drivers as everything else is ok. Cant get the drivers to load. I will pick your brains when I make the switch later this month. Thanks for your reply, useful and sensible.
