Ubuntu 14.04/14.10 SpaceEngineers Dedicated Server

Here’s a quick guide how to run SpaceEngineers Dedicated Server on Ubuntu with Wine

• A copy of Space Engineers
• A Windows box
• A Linux box running Ubuntu 14.04 or 14.10 (It’ll probably work on other distros, YMMV)

Step #1: Install & configure Wine1.6 and dependencies

Step #2: Copy necessary files to Linux box

There are multiple ways for transfering files, easiets would probably be using SCP, WinSCP works well for that. You’ll want to transfer the DedicatedServer.zip file found in

Unpack the zip somewhere inside

World and config files

The easiest way to do this is to just generate them locally and copy them over to the server, this can be done by using the dedicated server tool on your windows box, the tool is located in

1. Select the Default profile
2. Set up the world
3. Save the config
4. Start to generate the world.

The files will be stored in

Edit the SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg and copy it with the Saves folder to the following directory on your Linux box

You’ll have to change the tag so it point to the correct directory.

If the Save folder is located in

the tag must look like this, where is the same as $(whoami)

You still need to use windows paths.

1. Go to the directory where you have the dedicated server files
2. wine SpaceEngineersDedicated.exe -console

• There will be a lot of messages regarding xserver, ignore them
• Errors like fixme:shell:URL_ParseUrl failed to parse L»System.Core» are okay, ignore them.
• Be sure to run 32bit, wine doesn’t like the 64bit one.
• There is a small bug where after stopping the server you will no longer see what you’re typing into the console.
• This guide is based on the guide I found over at Keen Software House Forums created by AdamAnt

Does this still work?

No, this does not work anymore because Space Engineers recently switch over to 64bit architecture, and there currently exists no linux workaround for that.

Why doesn’t the 64 bit one work? I’ve had trouble getting it to work in the past before I ran into this and was wondering why, afaik 64 bit applications run fine inside wine/mono (wine uses mono for the .NET parts).

I know I am necroing an old thread, but wine64 works with 64 bit mono/.net stuff, so that should work. I am going to attempt this myself, so I will update you soon.

I was able to get this working on the latest version. It is essentially a modified version of this tutorial. Here is what I did. Your mileage may vary.

sudo dpkg —add-architecture i386
sudo apt install steamcmd
steamcmd +login anonymous +force_install_dir /path/to/SEServer +app_update 298740 +quit

Install latest wine (use the proper distro in repository)

sudo dpkg —add-architecture i386
wget -qO — https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key | sudo apt-key add —
sudo apt-add-repository ‘deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ xenial main’
sudo apt update
sudo apt install wine

./winetricks dotnet472
./winetricks vcrun2013
./winetricks vcrun2017

Launch Space Engineers Dedicated Server

cd /path/to/SEServer
wine DedicatedServer64/SpaceEngineersDedicated.exe

Press «Continue to server configuratior»
It should crash. But, it has made the proper directory here:

On a windows machine, install Space Engineers Dedicated Server
via Steam, launch, and create your server. Follow this guide
for info: https://www.spaceengineersgame.com/dedicated-servers.html
Save and Run your server, then stop it and exit out of the
Dedicated Server GUI.

Copy the following file and folder from the Windows machine

Place that file and folder here on the Linux machine:

Edit SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg and change the line.
Use the correct (wine) username and world name.

Launch Space Engineers Dedicated Server in console mode

cd /path/to/SEServer
wine DedicatedServer64/SpaceEngineersDedicated.exe -console

If you’re using mods, it will take a while to download the mods
Wait until you get the «Game Ready. » message
Then you’re ready to connect to the server! Be sure to update
your firewall settings, if necessary.

N.B. I’ve worked through this on two machines (Ubuntu 16.04 and
19.04). On one, I got hardly any error messages, but on the
other I get error messages left and right. Your milage may vary.
Everything seems to work just fine, though.

N.B.2. You can’t run the server within «screen». I get the error
«Error: No IP assigned»

I have followed our instructions and am having an issue with wine where when running wine at 64 bit is gets errors however when running on 32bit it says the software does not support 32 bit:

Please note that I ended up copying all of the install from windows as it did not create the appropriate directory on first run via command line.

wine with 32 bit prefix:

1. enable steamplay in steam settings

2. install additional components into space engineers wineprefix :

install winetricks, then :

3. (optional ; without this you’ll have to hit ‘NO’ twice on an error dialog on startup) rundll32 fix :

4. hit play on steam

set ingame graphics/display settings to the minimum (i personally had to use 1280×720 with almost every setting at its minimal value to get around 30 fps, on a core i7 2600k 3.4GHz, radeon hd 7870 2GB and 16GB ram but i get quite low framerates using this graphics card, as opposed to dead nvidia gtx 1050 ti ..)

I also use this ugly trick to change my active monitor resolution to a lower 1280×720 resolution upon starting Space Engineers :

i now (november 2nd 2019) get around 30 fps with the lowest settings possible, which loooks quite ugly, but at least simulation seems ok so far.

That is using this hardware :
— intel core i7 2600k 3.4GHz
— 16GB ram
— radeon hd 7870 GHz edition (from 2012 — 2013) ; my GTX1050Ti burnt a few months ago

According to a report at https://www.protondb.com/app/244850 using mesa 19.3 vulkan driver may provide better performance, i’ll have to build it from source, my distro (debian ; i already hear you laugh) does not provide anything above 19.2 yet (bullseye/testing) . )

I gave a try to mesa 19.2 and linux kernel 5.2 (by switching from buster to bullseye), there could be an important performance increase, or not at all, i can’t really tell, because i’m not comparing the exact same things.
SpaceEngineers performance heavily depends on the scene complexity and i did not re-use the same savegame.

I also lowered the savegame viewdistance setting to the minimum.

FAIL : replacing «DirectX 11» by «DirectX 9» in SpaceEngineers.cfg won’t work, along with chmod 000 SpaceEngineers.cfg ; game will crash on startup (amateur hardcoding paradise ??).

1. switch to the dx9 branch «dx9-32bit»

3. set launch options to disable d3d11 :

4. start the game and use a scenario without planets

The game starts with above launch options, but with even worse performance (9-10 fps max on a simple scene) ; can’t start any scenario including planets (don’t care), . pointless in the end due to those 9 fps max..

I guess re-creating a clean 32-bit prefix could help, but i already wasted too much time on this crappy first-timer-helloworld-game-project ..

How to play Space Engineers on Linux

Apr 10, 2021
Comment

Space Engineers is a voxel-based sandbox game that takes place in space. In it, the player can mine for resources, create bases, explore, etc. In this guide, we’ll show you how you can play the game on Linux.

Space Engineers on Linux

Space Engineers works on Linux, and you’ll be able to play it. However, it only works with the power of Proton, included in the Linux release of Steam. For this reason, we’ll need to go over how to install the Steam application beforehand.

Install Steam

To start the installation of Steam on your Linux PC, open up a terminal window. To open up a terminal window, press Ctrl + Alt + T on the keyboard. Or, search for “Terminal” in the app menu and open it up that way.

Once the terminal window is open and ready to use, follow along with the installation instructions down below that correspond with the Linux operating system you currently use.

Ubuntu

On Ubuntu, you’ll be able to install the Steam application by using the Apt command below.

Debian

On Debian Linux, the Steam app is installable via a downloadable DEB package on your computer. To download the Steam DEB package on your computer, use the wget downloader tool to grab it.

After downloading the latest Steam DEB package to your Debian Linux PC, the installation of Steam can begin. Using the dpkg command below, you’ll be able to get the Steam app working.

With the Steam DEB package installed on your computer, you’ll need to execute the apt-get install -f command below to correct any dependency issues that may have arisen during the installation.

Arch Linux

On Arch Linux, the Steam app is easily installable with the following Pacman command.

Fedora/OpenSUSE

On both Fedora and OpenSUSE Linux, Steam can be installed through the official software sources. However, the Flatpak release of Steam works much better on these distributions, and for that reason, we recommend installing it instead.

Flatpak

To get the Steam app working on Steam, the first thing you must do is enable the Flatpak runtime on your computer. To enable the Flatpak runtime on your computer, follow this guide on the subject.

After setting up the Flatpak runtime on your computer, you must set up the Flathub app store. To set up the Flathub app store, make use of the following remote-add command below. This step is critical, as, without it, Steam cannot be installed.

Now that the Flathub app store is set up, the Steam application can be installed. Using the command below, install Steam.

Install Space Engineers on Linux

With Steam installed, open up the app and log into your account with your user credentials. After that, follow along with the step-by-step instructions below to get Space Engineers working on Linux.

Step 1: First, open up Steam and click on the “Steam” menu. From there, select the “Settings” option to access the Steam settings area. From there, find the “Steam Play” area.

Inside of the Steam Play area, check both “Enable Steam Play for supported titles” and “Enable Steam Play for all other titles.” Then, click on the “OK” button to apply the changes to Steam.

Step 2: Find the “STORE” button and click on it with the mouse. Then, click on the search box with the mouse. Inside the search box, type out “Space Engineers” and press the Enter key to view the results.

Look through the search results for “Space Engineers” and click on it to view its store page. Then, find the green “Add to cart” button to purchase and add the game to your account.

Step 3: Open up a terminal window. Once the terminal window is open, follow this guide to install Protontricks. You will need it to get Space Engineers working.

After installing Space Engineers, do the following. First, click on the green “PLAY” button to start the game. Do not worry if it doesn’t launch correctly.

Once the game has launched, close it. Then, go to the terminal and execute the following command.

Choose “Space Engineers” in the Protontricks GUI. Then, select “dotnet48” and install it. Then, reboot your PC.

Step 4: After rebooting your PC, re-launch Steam and click on the green “PLAY” button a second time. As Protontricks has installed dotnet48, it should run correctly! Enjoy!
