    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 :)

    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.
