You’ll have to change the tag so it point to the correct directory.
If the Save folder is located in
~/.wine/drive_c/users/$(whoami)/Application\ Data/SpaceEngineersDedicated/Saves/Created 2015-03-30 2331 the tag must look like this, where is the same as $(whoami)
C:\Users\\Application Data\SpaceEngineersDedicated\Default\Saves\Created 2015-03-30 2331 You still need to use windows paths.
- Go to the directory where you have the dedicated server files
- 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
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’m curious too. Just setup a server for a friend and was Blown away to find out Space Engineers doesn’t come with a Linux dedicated server. sooo. yeah. Thats a big bummer.
Came here because I wanted to give this a try too. now I’m curious. any experiences to share?
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:
~/.wine/drive_c/users//Application Data/SpaceEngineersDedicated/SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg
~/.wine/drive_c/users//Application Data/SpaceEngineersDedicated/Saves//
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:
wine DedicatedServer64/SpaceEngineersDedicated.exe -console 0009:err:process:create_process 64-bit application L»Z:\\home\\wine\\SpaceEngineersDedicatedServer\\DedicatedServer64\\SpaceEngineersDedicated.exe» not supported in 32-bit prefix

Any insite to what I may be missing? It appears overall that using wine, or linux in general, is so rare that there is not much information out there for this software.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
Space engineers на линукс
1. enable steamplay in steam settings
2. install additional components into space engineers wineprefix :
sudo winetricks —self-update wget ‘h t t p s:// github . com /Linux74656/SpaceEngineersLinuxPatches/raw/master/autoprefix-patcher.py’ -O $HOME/SE-proton-fix.py chmod 700 $HOME/SE-proton-fix.py python3 $HOME/SE-proton-fix.py
3. (optional ; without this you’ll have to hit ‘NO’ twice on an error dialog on startup) rundll32 fix :
WINEPREFIX=»INSERT/DIRECTORY/TO/SPACEENGINEERS/pfx» winecfg # for example, for me: # WINEPREFIX=»/mnt/space3/games/steam/steamapps/compatdata/244850/pfx» winecfg # library tab / new override for library / type «rundll32.exe» (no quotes) then hit Add # select «rundll32.exe» in «existing overrides» # Edit. # select «Disable» # OK / OK
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 :
# set as launch option after ingame settings were changed to use 1280×720 : xrandr —output HDMI-A-0 —mode 1280×720 && %command% ; xrandr —output HDMI-A-0 —mode 1920×1080
That way, i can _actually_ use a lower video resolution on this output instead of scaling things up/down ; you don’t have to do this if you plan to run SpaceEngineers at your native/current monitor resolution.
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.
