anyone succeeded running goonstation reliably with a virtual machine? i want to spend most of my life in a linux environment yet would like to hop on goon every once in a blue moon w/out dual-booting.
i'm running kvm/qemu hypervisor with ubuntu 18.04 LTS. here are my results:
windows xp vm: byond runs, but any and all ss13 servers crash as soon as they load. firewall and antivirus off. managed to load and play a few minutes of the 2nd most popular byond game. weird.
windows 7 vm: byond runs, goonstation loads, but most sprites are missing. unplayable.
windows 10 vm: byond runs, goonstation loads, but LAG! 200ms ping. i've read that some of you endure that normally but anything less than ~125ms ping is unplayable for me, ss13 is already choppy as hell by nature. besides the lag, performance seems OK.
conclusion: going back to dual-boot winblows.
WINE note: i've read over and over that it's sluggish (and unplayable, i assume).
anyone else succeed running ss13 in a VM? maybe with a different hypervisor than kvm/qemu? i'm all ears.
