dedicated server 4.09m on linux with checkRuntime=2

Hi

Well another option would be Wine + Vmware of some sort if you really want the CRT=2

Thanks KG26_Alpha,

but vmware (I would prefer xen) is no option for me because it just emulates an x86 machine and this would make the linux host sensless, IMHO. My intention for linux hosting the DS, is to play around with some files (console.log, event.log, *.mis ...) using perl, maybe apache and mysql. I know it wouldn't cost to much effort to get a working wamp on my already running win2008 installation (crt=2) but you know i would prefer linux.
But I don't want to get deeper into this cause this (IMHO) would blow the original intention of this thread.
If it really turns out that there is no way to get crt=2 working on linux, than this (wamp) will be the only way for me.

Nevertheless, thank you for sharing your ideas.

I use IL2SC with my server it saves time and is an easy gui with live online pilot stats

Also there FBD2

I'm sure you are familiar with them though if not a quick should "Googling" should give you an idea.

Yes you're right. I know them both.

I heard that crt=2 works fine under Linux wine.

Hello II/JG54_Emil,

that would be cool.
Could you be a bit more specific?
Thanks in advance.

I´m still trying my self since we just about to get a dedicated server.
I was talking to Cro_Ante who has got some long Linux server experience and his answer was that Linux system and CRT=2 are no problem.

I´ll check with him for you and for me again.

CRT=2 and Wine does not work, at least out of the box. The reason is that CRT=2 makes checks outside game too. There were situations when CRT=2 was causing problems just because of different Windows versions (W2K server + XP client if I recall correctly) and even locales (i.e. Japanese). I had no time to try this, but I think it could work if you took system DLLs from Windows and put them inside Wine tree, so that they would be used instead of Wine "substitutions".

I've tried it. Didn't work with substituted DLL's(WinXP).
