It's a damn miracle, but there's finally a beta release of the Battlefield 1942 dedicated Linux server. This beta 1.2 release will expire in 30 days but there should be a nonbeta release before then. Thanks 3D Gamers.

#8,
writing software that does not crash would be preferable to having an ability to recover from crashes.

there is little reason except crappy programming and even worse QA why game servers should crash.

and by the way windows can automatically restart non responding processes...

What about server CPU usage? I suppose the linux version does not "feature" that useless black graphical screen that just wastes CPU cycles. A simple console server must be less demanding. Does anyone have information on this topic?

If you want to filter for dedicated linux servers, the key variables seem to be:

There aren't any better logging options in the linux server release, are there?

The windows logs seem pretty non-interesting as far as stat/player logging goes..

It's working, a little buggy, but already a very active beta mailing list & the guy working on it is top notch (ex loki, worked on quake3, unreal tournament, ut2k3, sdl lib) so I expect it will comeence rocking shortly.

I've got this lonely little box on a ds3 just waiting to host some carnage, and besides, it's 14ms ping from my house

Fantastic! I can't wait for this to reach final state.

Any word on improvements over the Windows version? Does it crash as much/more than the Windows version? Performance better/worse?
