"Your system does not support XInput 2"

Vetinari

I'm building a basic multiplayer game. I would like to run the server part of the game on a VPS that runs ubuntu. For development purposes it would be useful if I could use the full editor on the server, instead of only command line stuff. However, if I try to do that I get "Your system does not support XInput 2. Please upgrade your distribution".

Is it possible to run godot like this, and if yes, how do I avoid this error?

Sorry for that, the email took a while to arrive.

Make sure that the library is installed on you VM/for your user?

I think it's rare for a VPS to be setup as a gaming machine. It probably runs in a virtualized instance, without access to hardware like game controllers or graphics. I think you really want the server to be headless, but I think for development you can run it on your local machine for testing no problem (however, I haven't tested this, that would just be my assumption).

Unfortunately I don't know which one that would be, and I wasn't able to find out.

Thanks. I was testing on my local machine before, but some things you just can't test like that (real latency...). Having a full godot instance would have made things easier. I'm just going to stick with the headless version for now.

Godot requires a GPU to run; it's too slow on software OpenGL emulation. You could use a VPS or dedicated server that has a GPU and X server available, but such instances are often expensive (at least €40/month).
