Server Keeps Holding On to the A3 Process

[mysticviperx]

My Arma 3 Epoch server keeps randomly crashing on reboot with the same error code.

Exception code: C00000FD STACK_OVERFLOW at 73B21011

I'm running on a dedicated box wiht 4 cores (6 available) and 6gb of ram (32 available) thsi doesnt happen all the time, and im not able to find a rhyme or reason to it.

 

I am useing a simple .bat script that watches the process and restarts when it closes. I could be doing it to fast but I have no idea.

Try using the #shutdown command scheduled through BEC instead of using taskkill in your batch file.  I had similar issues with Arma 2 and that fixed it.  Are your running ASM too?

[mysticviperx]

the bat file watches for the arma3server.exe to fall off the task list. then it starts bec and arma3server.exe again and waits for the server to close.

:start
cd /d c:\Bec
Start bec -f config.cfg
cd /d C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3 Server
start /wait "arma3" /min "arma3server.exe" -mod=@Epoch;@EpochHive;@asm; -config=SC\config.cfg -cfg=SC\basic.cfg -ip=66.187.65.139 -port=2302 -profiles=SC -name=SC -autoInit
goto start

BEC is shutting down the arma server after 4 hours wiht the #shutdown command, and when arma3server.exe closes so does BEC.

 

And it did it again...http://pastebin.com/Cs9SY0i5

Could it possably be that the .bat file is starting the server back up to quickly? I need to let the old server clear and held memory registers?

 

AND AGAIN...sigh...http://pastebin.com/LcxHgngx

I had a similar issue with using Arma Server Monitor (ASM).  Once I quit using it the crashing problems on server shutdown stopped.

[nedfox]

Software like that might hold processes running / locked causing crashes.

 

In these cases, the same old applies : go back to stock; if the error goes away it's the thing you altered that causes it. (In this case ASM).

[mysticviperx]

ok, so it could be asm, can any one point me in the right direction to see if putting a pause/delay in my bat file so the computer has time to clear the process.
