Use standalone build without rendering on display

Unity Engine

Hi,

First I’m sorry because I don’t really know where I should post this. If a moderator needs to move it to a more appropriate place, would be nice :slight_smile:

I’m currently using Unity in Machine Learning field where I want to use the built Physics to learn from. Since I know Unity well, it was the best choice IMO.

I managed to build something that I want, it is capable to communicate with a Python instance and sending data back and forth. I’m pretty happy since everything went smoothly.

But I have an issue now. Since it ML, it needs a lot of computation power. Therefore I have access to clusters that runs on Linux and I want to put the standalone build + python script on it.
But I have issues since there is no display (but there is GPU though). I still need to render things (since I’m learning from the pixels).

Is there a possibility for that ?
Thanks

Hi,

We expect the standalone player to be able to create a window, whether there’s a display attached or not. The Unity editor has a -nographics mode but that doesn’t support rendering (and it requires a license to run).

I’m curious about your experiences. Can you attach a log of what happens if the player fails to run?

Thanks.

Oh Sorry I didn’t see your answer. I’ll try to get a log for you :slight_smile:
