LINUX DEDICATED SERVER TEST BRANCH — TESTERS WANTED

Ahoy, captains!

A while ago, some of you asked us for Linux Dedicated Server support. We are now rolling out a dedicated public test branch for it.

The goal is simple:

  • Download the public test branch and deploy the Linux Dedicated Server.
  • Play the game as usual and look for any issues with saves or connectivity.
  • Invite your friends to play with you and check whether co-op, connection, or any other issues appear.

Please note: to play with you on this branch, your friends must also install the public test branch.

Based on the results of this test, we plan to deploy this branch to everyone later.

Test Instructions for Docker Image Usage

  1. Download the Docker image with the following command:
    docker pull windroseserver/windroseserver:latest

  2. Create a folder on your disk to store save files.

  3. In the created folder, create a file named ServerDescription.json. Make sure to configure all other required keys as described/preferred earlier in the Server Settings section.
    In particular, ensure that the following values are set exactly as shown:

{
...
"UseDirectConnection": true,
"DirectConnectionServerPort": 7777
...
}
  1. Run the following command in the command line:
    docker run --user ue_user --name WindroseServer -p 7777:7777/tcp -p 7777:7777/udp -d -v {path_with_save}\Saved:/home/ue_user/app/R5/Saved -v {path_with_save}\ServerDescription.json:/home/ue_user/app/R5/ServerDescription.json windroseserver/windroseserver:latest

If {path_with_save} contains spaces in folder names, use quotes. Example:
"C:\My Games\WindroseSaves\Saved"

  1. To connect to a local server running in Docker, use Direct IP Connection in the game.
    Example:
    • IP: 127.0.0.1
    • Port: 7777

If other players are connecting to your server, they should use the IP address of the machine running the Docker container, not the internal Docker container IP.

Also make sure that port 7777 is open and properly forwarded if players are connecting from outside your local network.
