(Case 1230153) Linux server player crashes on Windows WSL 1

Hi. I found that Unity 2020.1/2019.3 linux player crash on Windows WSL 1. With old (2019.2) Unity, it didn’t.

It seems that PhysX update makes issue, but not sure. I hope that this issue can be fixed by Unity side, because running on WSL makes debugging linux-server-instance easy.

Thanks.

I can confirm this is still an issue even with WSL2 and the Ubuntu distro from the MS Store. Had a headless server built for Linux and it kept crashing without any output to the console/logs.
After some debugging, I found out that a single collider (Box Collider in my testing) can cause this issue.

It is working in a VM, so it’s clearly a PhysX - WSL issue.
