Linux Dedicated Server for ASA

[xxdeathsang3lxx]

I am in the process of setting up a Linux ASA server and when I download the ASA server files from the linux box it downloads the windows files for the dedicated server and not the linux files. Not sure what is causing this.  I am following the directions on the wiki page and i am using the correct app id for the steamCMD command.  I was able to do this with ASE but ASA only seems to grab the windows files and not the linux files.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The reason for your observation is, that ASA currently only supports Windows. It is mentioned in the Wiki https://ark.wiki.gg/wiki/Dedicated_server_setup:

  ARK: Survival Ascended requires Windows (or a Windows-like environment) and does not support Linux natively

Your only option to run an ASA Server on Linux is to use some workaround with wine or similar. Luckily someone did already the dirty work: Check out https://github.com/Acekorneya/Ark-Survival-Ascended-Server.

Thanks. I didn’t see that part about only supporting windows…… Windows Server it is then!!!

Greetings,

I would like to request a Linux build of the server,

so that it can run under Linux for better performance,

and better control over system updates,

because Windows disregards Group-Policies

That is why I created this, which allows you to run it in Linux using Wine with Docker.
