Problem Description

Issue

I’ve been trying to get a sons of the forest server for a week or so on AMP. It’s the only reason i purchased a license.

Reproduction Steps

  • Reinstalled and updated before starting instance
  • Installed wine64, box66, and box64 on host
  • made symlink for wine > wine64

See AArch64 / ARM64 Compatibility

I suspect the only way you will get this to work is to try in docker, but even then no guarantees

Installing a functioning wine to work on aarch64 is a very convoluted process, hence the docker recommendation
