I run a dedicated box with Windows Server 2008 R2 DC Edition. Only been getting this since the patch

[Richie]

You replace the old .dll with the new .dll ?

[SilentSean]

Yeah, I deleted the hive folder then copied the new one over

[Spec-CrazyG]

now have 2 servers with this issue... no suggestions from anyone, not even devs?.. I'm sure we are not the only ones with this/or seen this issue.

[Santa]

What does your A3Master_xxxxx.log contain?

pastebin.com

[MisterT]

paste server,client rpt and check your event logs.

[SilentSean]

Apologies for the late reply, been busy the last few days.

 

Here is the server RPT: http://pastebin.com/B1v2ppBq

 

Client RPT and A3Master don't have anything pertaining to the crash

[nedfox]

yours : "C:\arma3Servers\Spec3 A3Epoch\arma3server.exe" -nosplash -nosound -mod=@Epoch;@EpochHive;@AllInArmaTerrainPackLite; "-config=C:\arma3Servers\Spec3 A3Epoch\Spec3A3Epoch\config.cfg" -ip=162.219.28.242 -port=3302 "-profiles=C:\arma3Servers\Spec3 A3Epoch\Spec3A3Epoch\Spec3A3Epoch\" "-BEpath=C:\arma3Servers\Spec3 A3Epoch\Spec3A3Epoch\BattlEye" "-cfg=C:\arma3Servers\Spec3 A3Epoch\Spec3A3Epoch\basic.cfg" -name=Spec3A3Epoch -autoinit -enableHT -exThreads=1 -loadMissionToMemory

 

Fixed :

 

"C:\arma3Servers\Spec3 A3Epoch\arma3server.exe" -config="C:\arma3Servers\Spec3 A3Epoch\Spec3A3Epoch\config.cfg" -ip=162.219.28.242 -port=3302 -profiles="C:\arma3Servers\Spec3 A3Epoch\Spec3A3Epoch\Spec3A3Epoch" -BEpath="C:\arma3Servers\Spec3 A3Epoch\Spec3A3Epoch\BattlEye" -cfg="C:\arma3Servers\Spec3 A3Epoch\Spec3A3Epoch\basic.cfg" -name=Spec3A3Epoch -malloc=system -mod=@Epoch;@EpochHive;@AllInArmaTerrainPackLite

 

The quotes not good !

 

Also, the HT, threads and other params are not epoch stock. Not needed.

[SilentSean]

Those are the exact same parameters I have always used, which were working absolutely fine before the patch. But out of curiosity, I tried those ones, and it still does the same thing.

 

I even moved it to a box where I have another server running fine with no crashes, then I try Chernarus and bam, it crashes again.

[nedfox]

FYI, I'm testing on my test server since we had issues since we introduced AI missions.

 

For now, my focus is on "mounting" static .50 cal guns that missions spawn. When someone gets in, server crashes.

 

if possible, get a test environment up and try to figure out WHEN your server crashes. I will also keep everyone updated here with my findings.

[SilentSean]

We are running stock Epoch

I have been trying to figure out what is causing the crash. I've been in the server alone, and it doesn't crash on any particular thing.

It's crashed when I was in a heli, driving and running in a field etc

[nedfox]

After testing few hours, it's not the mission.

 

FYI, I run a separate batchfile to kill the popup and auto restart :

 

========================

echo off
:start

taskkill /f /im werfault.exe

timeout 10

goto start

=====================

[SilentSean]

We must have different crashes then, because I can run Bornholm without any crashes.

I run Arma as a windows service, so I have a custom tool I made to bring it back up if it crashes

[nedfox]

Yeah, firedeamon ftw :)  but the batchfile makes sure it restarts even without an admin nearby :)

[SilentSean]

It's not firedaemon, it's a little tool I found on these forums somewhere (can't remember where).

As for restarting on crash, I wrote a little keep alive program in C# which I have running as a service. It polls every so often checking for the Arma and Bec services, if they are off then it just starts them.

No need to do anything on a box reboot either, all the services start with windows :)
