ARMA3 Dedicated server problems!

[killerando 11]

Hi there.

 

I am pulling my hair out about this one, and wondering if anyone can help me.

 

I run several servers on the same box, but I am only having problem with 1 server out of the 6+.

 

Our main Exile server is crashing irregularly, ALWAYS with the C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION error. Sometimes it will be ok for a week, then bang crashes bad for days. In fact once it crashed so bad it wouldn't come  back up again.

 

I have tried removing mods, and running a bare server, but the mods are working fine, (with extra as well) on other servers on the same machine.

 

I have tried using malloc = system, and the tbb.

 

I have changed many startup parameters to try and isolate the problem.

 

I have used my server diagnostic programs to test the memory, and no errors are shown.

 

All servers are run on a HP rackmount server, with ample CPU and memory. Windows 2008R2.

 

Here is a bit from one of the RPT files.

 

I can provide more of the files if needed.

I used to have a similar problem with the Epoch servers, before we moved to exile.  

 

IT is confusing, because the other servers I run are fine. Not 1 crash. Just this server.

 

 

 Why is there only Heli in the mods listing in the about RPT extract?

 

These server crashes have lost us lots of players recently and I would like to fix it!

 

Can anyone help me?

Is there anything I can run to make sure its not the database that is causing issues? Is there a way I can use SteamCMD to verify the server files? Is there any tool I can use to clean out the server cache?

 

Would any of these things help do you think ?

If you haven't already I would try deleting and re-installing the server files for that instance.  Do you use a panel like TCAdmin?

 

Also you could try a different (non-Exile) mission on that server instance and see if it still crashes.

 

Not sure about your database question I am unfamiliar with Exile.

In situations like this you need to run pure vanilla to prove the basic install and only then add complications to it otherwise you will end up running around trying to catch your tail
