Integrated GPU supported? #52

Closed martijnende closed 1 month ago

martijnende commented 2 months ago

Hi. Many thanks for creating and maintaining this Docker image. Setting-up a dedicated server is a breeze, thanks to your work.

I have something that is more of a question than an issue (I think). I set-up the server on a system with an Intel Celeron J3455, which comes with a Intel HD Graphics 500 integrated GPU. But when I connect with a client and monitor the GPU load with intel_gpu_top, I can see that the GPU is not engaged. As far as I can tell, this does not affect gameplay, but I worry that this poor little CPU gets overloaded when more than one player connects. When I check the Docker log, I see a message related to X11 (excerpt below), though I'm not sure if this is at all relevant.

Are integrated graphics supported for dedicated servers? Is there something I should do to enable it?

AFAIK GPU is only engaged to procedurally generate the map on initialization and nothing else, I might be wrong...

Ah, I see. I read several reports (dating 2 years back) of people getting "stuck" when they play on a host with an integrated GPU, but what you say makes sense (GPU only used for initialisation).

That's too bad. My poor Celeron J3455 is screaming with 3 players online. I'll need to find an upgrade then.
