[2020] So I really wanted eco server to run on Linux with a 400x400 world map...

Using mono-5.20.1.19 on Gentoo linux with a dual cpu 3ghz v2 xeon 20c/40t supermicro server motherboard with 128GB of ECC server ram.

Started the eco server script at 11:52 am

Still waiting at Ticking 13:47 pm.

Using a 12 core kvm windows 10 vm with 16GB of ram running on top of the same server hardware that same eco server loads in minutes.

I see why Linux servers for eco aren't generally supported. Still however pleased that eco does work with Linux using mono but i had to use mono 5.x.

Would be great if the eco dev's programmed some Unity magic and released a proper 64bit eco linux server.

Anyone know for certain the command syntax to disable the server admin gui?

I've discovered different wiki guides offering examples of both EcoServer.exe no_gui and EcoServer.exe -nogui but the exe fie doesn't provide a console help menu that i was able to locate by typing EcoServer.exe --help or EcoServer.exe /?

Edit - in recent news the eco server finally started at 2:33 pm and the web server is accessible.

Only took 2.5 hours ;D

Edit2 - and 2.5 hours later the server was refusing login attempts.

Error when verifying login token: Error: TrustFailure (Authentication failed, see inner exception.)  
Invalid user trying to connect: Username  

Linux and Eco could have been great but alas not happening i guess.

I tried to start the server with -nogui so the server process would run correctly in a console terminal and that appeared to work fine but 2.5 hours to start a server instance was perhaps still worth testing.
