Linux Version #1
Comments
|
I managed to run the server software with Wine. I didn't try to connect to the server (since I can't start the game on Linux), has anyone tried ? |
|
i did get it to run with wine in a docker-container and my friends could connect |
|
That's great news. Can you share your process? I can spin a VM on the fly and try as well so we can document it properly, at least until we get a linux version of the server :) |
|
Hey guys, do you think i could manage to host a server on a raspi ? Using wine + docker would work right? |
There is no ARM support so probably not |
|
Thanks for this, I was looking for a way to be notified when linux was supported. |
Can you share your docker setup? I'm only somewhat familiar with setting up fresh images and would like to run a server for my friends on my linux box edit: Maybe someone will find this helpful but I got this running in Docker on Ubuntu Server using Wine. Here's my Repo: https://github.com/Googlrr/V-Rising-Docker-Linux I don't know really anything about docker or wine so its pretty hacked together but maybe someone will find it useful. |
|
We should hopefully have the Linux version of the V Rising Dedicated Server available "soon". There is unfortunately a build issue using I think upgrading to Anyway, I can leave this issue open here until we have shipped the Linux version. |
|
That's great news @khct, you already kow what can be a blocker and can work on it. Please keep us informed and let us know if there is any blocker you might want to share. I'm sure that there are others here that are engineers beside gamers ;) |
|
Is there any estimate for the Linux version release? Days, weeks, months? |
i agree with you on this i would like to know aswell i hate windows OS for hosting servers, when it is poorly used/made for games with linux is MUCH BETTER! |
|
Awesome to hear that there will be a dedicated linux server soon™! For what it's worth, I too made a Docke image that runs the server using wine, for anyone interested: https://github.com/Ponjimon/vrising-docker |
|
Thanks @Ponjimon, I'll check it out and test it on a VM next week :) |
|
Linux please! |
|
Glad to hear you're working on a Linux server; I'll be keeping an eye on this Issue for progress. |
|
Linux is a must in 2022. Looking forward to it :) |
|
I also made a Docker image for V Rising, to be able to run the game server on a Linux host: https://github.com/ips-hosting/game-images/tree/main/vrising. |
|
imagine telling people to use WINE unity allows people to build for linux with a single checkbox and people say "use wine", wtf is wrong with modern developpers who the fuck will buy a windows server licence to host this game server? no wonder it runs like crap |
|
Game server actually runs great under WINE. I've had mine running 6 days straight so far with no downtime and no lag. A very viable alternative until a native version is released. |
Never got it running under wine with pterodactyl panel. Got a bunch of errors like NullReferenceException or CryptographicException etc. so I'm waiting patiently for the native version.
Can actually relate. Just nuked our windows server because we can run everything under linux. And native > wine (almost everytime) |
|
Wine and Docker is not a solution. I will wait for native version. |
|
This is not a forum of discussion. You can leave your opinions out of it :) However, wine is not a solution, just a workaround as stated by everyone already. |
This ticket already looks like a discussion. I hope that much posts showing to devs that many people waiting for native version.
Docker is modern solution for development and deployment. But running production in Docker container in one reason: "let this work on unsupported platform" - is a crutch. |
sheep vs aligator the sheep follows bloat driven development the aligator eat the sheep
don't TELL people what they SHOULD do docker is not THE solution blindly using what ever the other sheep are using doesn't make you a good engineer, it makes you a good sheep not everyone wants to be a good sheep some people want to stay sane, and use what ever is the most efficient and less bloated solution available a native linux binary is the most efficient solution docker? not everyone will deploy their server on the cloud on some random overpriced company's computers |
|
"Don't tell people what they should to" followed by telling people what they should do is not a good look. The devs have already stated intent to release a Linux dedicated server. I am content to wait until it is available. I'd prefer sooner than later, but nobody is in a position to demand anything. Personally I think the current hot trend of stuffing everything into a virtualized container has its places, but it's not a tool for every job. |
|
That comment wasn't intended to spark the debates that have already happened. It was just to set realistic standards. There's pros/cons to making a Linux native release and those are already known. I was just referring to the amount of demand. |
as i know, there will be no Native Linux Server released |
|
Lazy devs, glad i torrented it instead of buying it I'll buy it only if they ever release a native version for the server |
|
The devs just literally released a DLC today. They aren't lazy, they just have priorities like any developer should. You should be embarrassed torrenting a well-made game. It's very ironic to not support the development by buying the game then complain that you don't get a feature implemented. Not to mention, there's a viable option, for those who aren't lazy. ;) |
|
releasing a linux version from Unity is a matter of clicking on a checkbox stop defending them |
|
No demand for a Linux version? That must be why every gameserver host has V Rising in their portfolio.... Wine adds resource overhead and what's more important is another layer that can add failures. No big issue on a small scale, definitely one with big hosting companies. |
Maybe you should stop talking about something you obviously don't know about. The devs ALREADY mentioned the reason they can't release a linux version is because the version of the Entity Component System has a bug in it for the version of Unity they developed the game on (2020.3 for your reference). In order to be able to do a linux release they'd have to update the ECS version they use, which isn't necessarily fast and not necessarily worth their time right now because it adds no new gameplay to a game and it already works for them how it is. So no it isn't a click of a button because they've already tried that, hence why they know the bug exists preventing them from releasing a linux version. |
|
Large hosting companies also aren't suffering from the slight overhead of Wine. I work closely with the gaming community and they don't struggle because of that. That's just false information. The reality is that this should probably be locked since there's nothing else to discuss that brings anything new. And the game server works on Linux fine. |
|
javascript bloat driven developpers telling me that wine overhead is "no big deal" no wonder why software went to shit congrats people |
|
Hello community |
|
Any update on this? Man I sure would love to see a linux version in the near future |
|
They made a pin on their discord, that native linux dedicated files are not on their priority list. Ofc thats sad, but its an honest answer and we do not need to wait anymore. |
|
I give up. |
|
i do use my AMP's docker image of wine to get the vrising-Server started... Works so far.... |

This trailer came out today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rb_IiRt9Als Full game release on May 8th 2024! Congrats on the announcement! My concern: I've paid for three different V Rising G-Portal hosted servers, and every single time is a nightmare. Like, worse than I would expect from a plain VPS provider like Hetzner. G-Portal with V Rising has consistent issues with syncing server settings, can't do proper backup restores, non-existent support, unwillingness to give refunds based on SLA metrics, etc. To be clear, I speculate most of those issues are because of G-Portal, not the quality of the V Rising Windows server. This is just to say that I feel there is a huge need/desire for a better server hosting experience. To bring it back to this GH issue, I think the devs should just say plainly "we are not going to do this" and close/lock it. Although I genuinely do not know if any of the people participating in this thread work for Stunlock Studios, or if they read this thread at all. 🤷♂️ To end on a positive note, I am hyped for the full release and will attempt once again to self-host with the instructions given in this repo. 😄 |

Any news for 1.0 linux server? |
|
Was waiting for this. Lol |
works like charm with wine, so why a linux server |
2 year update 🤞 |
|
+1 for linux dedicated server. |
|
If it would be run via mono, it wouldn't hurt that much. But wine? Which is still getting updates, but we can't rely on sustainability with it. |
|
Hey all, I fully get wanting a native version (I do as well, it's why I keep following this thread), however: Please read previous posts before commenting about how it's "weird they don't have one", or "they should just say they aren't doing it", or wondering if they even read this thread, etc. They've said why they don't have one yet here: #1 (comment) It's clearly both a) on their radar, and b) not a major priority because existing solutions are working great for lots of people and they've been prioritizing actually making and releasing the game, and they've said so already: #1 (comment) The Wine options aren't official; if you want it on something other than wine, go make one yourself like multiple others above did when they created the Wine version. The fact of the matter is that existing solutions DO work. but the endless complaining when they've already addressed things doesn't help make it done faster and doesn't add anything to the conversation. Some alternative ways to be helpful:
Have fun and keep tinkering! |

It actually isn't very clear if this is still on the radar of the developers. The comments you cited are from years ago, and they have been silent since. All there is to support that statement is that the request is still open. I understand priority, I also understand the level of effort to update a game engine, and I understand how to be patient and understanding to the SDLC of a game like this (I have been waiting two years now, after all). Nonetheless, this is a very natural time to look for an update, and it shouldn't be shunned or attacked. Two years ago we were told soon, obviously priorities have changed since then. With the game being released it is important to focus on blocking issues to people enjoying the game, but it is also a perfect time to revisit this request. The point being that it isn't a lot of effort to confirm that it is still planned, and if it isn't to summarize the issue posted previously and close this ticket. All that said, I hope to see the situation addressed and hopefully we get a linux dedicated server. |
|
Well, I can see updated engine in 1.0 release. It is now Unity 2022.3 LTS, before it was something like 2020.X. |
|
bump |
|
Just want to post here in case someone needs it. I managed to run the server on the oracle arm64 instance. I’ve pushed image here: https://hub.docker.com/r/gogoout/vrising-arm64 |
Amazing work, is this for the pc version only? Is a PS5 version possible? I'd love to have a private PS5 server running in oracle but don't have the docker/wine skills to make it happen. Edit: I managed to botch a version of your image together with a change to init-server.sh that installs the ps5 version. |
|
It seems incredible to me that in these two years you have not done what you have said, but if you have been able to release €20 DLC to get more money, well, what a lie. |
|
It's true, we didn't had any word from the devs about this, even if is to say is for next year.... |
Ofc, but how you can put EOS List server? just tell me, because i can't do it, i have ubuntu Server no gui, also they are brain dead totally, and instead of using steam servers they are using his "server list" thats so annoying |
and others
I know it's in the plans, where it's better to get notified when a Linux version will be available?
Even just an issue here (even this one) to which anyone can just subscribe would be fantastic, Thanks!
