    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!
