Setting up a dedicated server on MacOS.

AdmiralMonke · July 15, 2022

Hello! I am trying to set up a server for family/friends on an extra Mac machine we have that nobody uses. I had followed the wiki on dedicated server setup for linux via the dedicated server tool in steam, but get the following log when trying to start the server via the StartServer.command file.

I have tried to do everything from installing java, switching on and off beta builds, and reinstalling the tool. Snooping around, it appears there are no java files in the JRE folder underneath the dedicated server folder? this is the ServerStart.command file that came with the dedicated server install.

Any help would obviously be greatly appreciated. Thanks much!!!!

Yeah I'm having the exact same issues trying to launch a macOS server. I'm on M1, but Java should still work.

Yeah, to say the least, there's been so little demand for servers on Mac that the script is woefully out of date.

The game also is a x86 program and experience with Rossetta has shown that it's rather imperfect at emulating a x86 Mac, so I'm not sure it'd be a very stable experience to run a dedicated server.

I'm unsure how you'd get it to run as x86 outside of rebuilding the application, but maybe this command will help:

Ah what a shame. Having a spare macbook and being able to run a 24/7 server would be too good to be true it seems haha

thank you though, I'm gonna look around to see if there's anyone that's cracked it and maybe made a new .command script cause I imagine something's must've changed in the time since it was created
