Arma 3 Epoch Mod Server crashes irregularly

[sgstbr]

Hello everyone,

 

I set up an Arma 3 Epoch Public Server for my Clan on our Rootserver.

It is running Windows 8 Pro in a virtual maschine with 8GB of RAM.

Ever since I installed Arma 3 Epoch Mod the Arma 3 Server get's into an "Arma 3 is not responding"-Message sometimes. I haven't seen any regularity between those crashes. It seems to happen randomly.

 

It looks like the epochserver.dll causes the crashes. Just a short quote of the rpt-logfile:

Cause of that I tried to replace the epochserver.dll as well as the @Epoch and @EpochServer files, but none of that helped. I only have one extra script installed, but the problem also appeared without it.

I also tried installing the 32bit Version of C++ Redistributable (without uninstalling the 64bit Version).

 

Does anybody have an idea, what the cause of these crashed could be?

You are using a client os as server? Get a server os

I thought this wouldn't make that much of a difference regarding that this windows is protected by Linux's iptables. But I'm going to try if Windows Server does fix this problem. Which Version would you suggest?

[Skaronator]

Server os have some different like how their ram is allocated. Use Windows 2008 R2 or Windows 2012 R2 for a arma server.

Servers fine on Windows7 and 8 64 bits :) 

 

Do you have custom addons like AI  missions ?

[sgstbr]

As already stated in the first post I've got one custom addon installed.

It's blckeagls' AI Missions ().

 

But before I installed those AI Missions, the problem was already there...

 

I've set up a Windows Server 2012 R2 machine. Let's see, if the problem disappears :D

Do you start the server with -malloc=system  ?

[BaDg3R]

whats in your launch parameters?

[sgstbr]

Do you start the server with -malloc=system  ?

Yes. I've read about this and added this parameter a few days ago but that didn't help.

 

 

whats in your launch parameters?

 

START /wait /min arma3server.exe -port=2302  -config=SC\config.cfg -profiles=SC -cfg=SC\basic.cfg -name=SC -mod=@Epoch;@epochhive -malloc=system

[nedfox]

Not different from mine. And when you run stock (NO AI MISSION) and still get the errors, I'd go check your memory with memcheck or something.

 

C005 Errors are general exceptions, really hard to figure out.. We had them with a combo of AI missions/Infistar and worked hard to get rid of them.

 

What you can do is keep an eye of the line PRIOR to the crash and see what's going on there. That helped us pinpointing to AI missions expering !

I'm going to try again without any custom addons if the server also crashes on Windows Server.

 

A big thanks to all of you for the fast an precise information :).
