Server Support

Wine is great but it just doesnt run well from my experience.

Been running a dedicated server in an Ubuntu Server 18 LTS VM with wine and Xvfb for some months now and it's quite stable as long as you run it with taskset restricted to a single core.

If you set it up as a bunch of systemd services and auto restart it every few days (just kill the Tribes2.exe binary, ispawn restarts the server then with the right core affinity), it runs without any special maintenance.

Having to reboot a Tribes server, t1 or t2, has been sop for decades, something about mem leaks or running out of strings or who knows. Running on one core likely makes the server a bit less floaty as latency should be superior to running smp where the app is swapped between cores and everything that entails.
