I personally don't own the game.

Developers have stated that no Linux support (server) for Early Access release. Dedicated servers are only available through Windows platform currently.

[UltimateByte]

Source?

Funcom community manager made a post on reddit regarding it. (18 days ago)

lol, I enjoyed reading other comments.
Thanks for info.
Well, too bad. Let's close this until it's really supported...

Edit: A discord user reports Linux SteamCMD repo for this game server is actually empty. -_-

http://steamcommunity.com/app/440900/discussions/0/133256240745218195/ only need this for debian, Ubuntu 👍

[UltimateByte]

@c0reTV From our last testing, Linux server packages are empty at the moment.
Also, we won't support any server using Wine.

[ghost]

@UltimateByte ye the Linux ist empty but you need windows files if no won´t using wine then try with mono

[UltimateByte]

LGSM only supports native Linux servers. Wine is a mess and it's not to our liking to run Windows stuff on our Linux machines.
However, we tolerate servers that integrate mono libraries on their own, otherwise we couldn't support unity engine servers.

Happy to reopen this when Linux support is ready

@dgibbs64 please make script thanks!

[dgibbs64]

https://steamdb.info/app/443030/depots/ there is a Linux server depot however I dont think there is a linux binary yet

[dgibbs64]

Correction there looks like a binary is available. Please can someone confirm Linux is now available
ConanSandbox\Binaries\Linux\ConanSandboxServer

[RobethX]

@dgibbs64 I downloaded appid 443030 on my Linux server with SteamCMD and it seems to be empty. Where did you see the binary? I can take a look and test it out.

[UltimateByte]

It appears that there are now actual depots for Linux !

[Shiryu75]

I also noticed the presence of Linux binary. However, when i try to start it, it speaks of a missing libsteam_api.so that i cannot find anywhere :( Any ideas ?

[UltimateByte]

@Shiryu75 This is a common error that LGSM fixes :)
See how it's doing and adapt the command to your case: https://github.com/GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM/blob/master/lgsm/functions/fix_steamcmd.sh#L26

[RobethX]

@Shiryu75 I downloaded libsteam_api.so from the Steamworks.NET repo and ran the ConanSandboxServer binary with it, but I got this error: Using jemalloc. Disabling core dumps. Preparing to exit.Shutting down and abandoning module NetworkFile (4)Shutting down and abandoning module StreamingFile (3)Shutting down and abandoning module SandboxFile (2)Shutting down and abandoning module PakFile (1)Exiting.Exiting ab normally (error code: 1)

Edit: I didn't see UltimateByte's latest post with the lgsm fix script, but I'll have to try that later and see if I have any better luck running the server.

[Shiryu75]

Thank you Ultimate. I'm afraid I can't use that trick because i'm personnaly using Windows and it's just my remote dedicated server that's on Linux. I've always used it for creating server. I think since it's not my OS, i can't use that fix.

Yeah i'm having the exact same error RobethX. Either we lack something to run the server, or the binairy isn't working yet.

Edit : I'm beginning to think the linux depot isn't complete. It seems highly strange that the windows one weights 14Go while the linux one only weights 700Mo. Plus, if you check the directory ConanSandbox/Content/*, they are all empty.

[RobethX]

@Shiryu75 I was looking for some more evidence on it, but I was drawing the same conclusion that the depot is incomplete. I was going to try using the content from the windows depot with with the binaries from the linux depot just to see if I can manage to get it running.

[Shiryu75]

@RobethX haha we had the same idea then :) i'm currently downloading the windows one to get the content. I'm at 72% right now. Updates soon.

[Shiryu75]

It seems to be a lot better mixing windows and linux depots : Windows to get the content and Linux to get the proper binaries. However I still get lots of errors about missing things :

i tried to look for those files :

It found something but the path is different from the error (my locate has found a "Content/" between Engine/ and EngineDamageTypes/)

Then more error

This is getting quite messy and complicated, reinforcing the idea of incomplete depot :(

[jaredballou]

FYI: Having worked on a Windows game server manager script for Conan, I can say this game is a hot mess. There are piles of unsolved bugs, console warning spam that fills up disks, and outright wrong documentation or broken/missing features. I'd be cautious to take this on unless it comes with a disclaimer that it's going to be a bumpy ride :)

[dgibbs64]

@jaredballou sounds like rust server then ;-P. Thanks for the heads up

[gormieNO]

There have been some changes to the Linux Dedicated server for Conan. Not sure if you guys have had the time to look into this or done any test yet? But still, looks like "rust" in logs, but better running.
Last changes was yesterday, ref. the URL : https://steamdb.info/depot/443032/history/

[dgibbs64]

I am unable to find any details about a non wine version of Conan Exiles server. I will close this issue until a stable Linux version is released
