linux server crash (segfault, libPhysX3Common_x86.so)
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I've been having some issues with my dedicated server. and I cannot find any help regarding this specific crash
any idea on how can I figure out what is the issue.
I'm running linux server using these commands
arma3server debug -name=server -config=server.cfg -mod=curator\;kart\;heli;mark\;expansion\;dlcbundle

server version is 1.66.139586

<no interesting logs here>

core file, mission pbo and logs can be found on

the issue seems to crash somewhat consistently during unit spawn on FOB on the following mission I modified.

edit: changed title, changed reproducibility as the updated pbo reproduces the issue easily.

Steps To Reproduce

https://www.dropbox.com/s/keddueveaxa1kqu/crash.tar.gz?dl=0

to repro the issue execute the mission on a linux dedicated server
join to the server
as an admin execute on the console the following two lines, this is to provide points for the refortify action and the placement of the FOB
commandpointsblu1 = 200;
publicVariable "commandpointsblu1";

option A) refortify main base multiple times (low reproducibility of the issue, wheelmouse menu appears when close to the officer inside the building)

option B) capture at least one zone
establish a FOB (radio menu 0-8-1)
refortify a few times. (mouse wheel menu appears when inside the newly created FOB)

setup information
uname -a
Linux free-root 4.7.0-sabayon #1 SMP Fri Oct 28 07:47:36 UTC 2016 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Game and OS running on a SSD.

Additional Information

please feel free to ask me for any information, I'll answer as soon as I see the email.

I'm spawning the units for FOBs on 0,0,0 then move them to the FOB location, this as per the biki information about code optimizations.

I'll continue making some changes on my side to see if I can increase or decrease reproducibility.

I have added a global flag named debugmode on init.sqf, this variable will spawn less enemies on the autogenerated zones. sadly when running on dedicated server you need to modify the script itself to make it usable as the zones are created by the server sometimes before the first player joins. note there is no event handler for debugmode, it is just a plain variable on the server used to exit some scripts sooner.

Alwin, since the issue is marked as resolved, I will remove the dropbox file as it is taking space in my dropbox, if needed again please let me know and I'll share the information again

Oh, sry

Hi,

I´ve closed this issue because here was not some new situation report. The last was from a half of December.
The problem still persists? If yes, I´ll reopen this ticket.
I´ve reported your issue to system, don´t worry.

just one question did anyone actually take a look? if you can see the only activity on the ticket is from my side (reports, updates for those reports). I'm a software developer so I know that sometimes things fall from the desk :)
I can try to see if the issue still happens but the issue seems to be the same as the other one mentioned on this same ticket, the instructions I provided (pbo + instructions) are an easy way to reproduce the issue I even shared the core file to speed up the debugging process.
I'll try to update my linux server and try to reproduce the issue but if nobody took a look on your side I doubt it was resolved.
