Dune: Awakening to get self-hosted servers, plus they're splitting PvE and PvP

  Please be advised that the initial setup for this first iteration of the feature is more technical than most other games and requires a computer running Microsoft Windows Pro with Hyper-V in order to run the servers in a Linux Virtual Machine (VM).

  Kinda wonder if they are just distributing a Hyper-V machine image; or, if the actual requirement is that it runs on Linux and they assumed their entire userbase is Windows only and won’t be able to spin up a Linux VM on their own?

      Q: Can I run the server directly on a Linux machine instead of running it on a VM on Windows?

      A: Technically yes, but we do not yet support a streamlined installation for that. You’re free to experiment with that, though.

      Ooooh hell yeah!

    Wait, can Ark be played alone on a dedicated server offline? What do you mean by home server?

      Yes, I used to play with my SO and siblings alone with mods from the steam workshop. It was great Playing each map with ppl not off the rails.

      It was ark server manager. It was really easy to work with and no issues running the server off your home pc while playing the game.

  It should have been like that from the start.

  Had no idea there was a Dune MMO. Or people were still making those. I thought we decided WoW, Guild Wars 2, and FF XIV were the last MMO’s (and maybe that Conan one, which sounded interesting to me).
