Hi,

Dayz 1.24 Stable server running on AlmaLinux release 8.7 (Stone Smilodon)

Every JSON file generated by any mod that uses it to store data gets corrupted overtime with extra characters, generating server crash.

Error example (Intenz-Leaderboard Mod Id 1758815806):

Unknown, 28.03 2024 11:41:37
[::JsonLoadFile] :: [ERROR] :: Cannot load data from "$profile:Leaderboard\Stats-76561199375471225.json":

Checking JSON we see it has extra characters and has become invalid:

Original JSON:

{

"deaths": [],
"kills": [],
"animalsKilled": [],
"name": "RoadRat",
"lastTimeSeen": "2024-3-28 12:48:51",
"deathsToZCount": 0,
"deathsToNaturalCauseCount": 0,
"deathsToPlayerCount": 0,
"deathsToAnimalCount": 0,
"suicideCount": 0,
"longestShot": 0,
"zKilled": 75,
"timeSurvived": 22613,
"distTrav": 41375

}

Corrupted JSON:

{

"deaths": [],
"kills": [],
"animalsKilled": [],
"name": "RoadRat",
"lastTimeSeen": "2024-3-28 12:48:51",
"deathsToZCount": 0,
"deathsToNaturalCauseCount": 0,
"deathsToPlayerCount": 0,
"deathsToAnimalCount": 0,
"suicideCount": 0,
"longestShot": 0,
"zKilled": 75,
"timeSurvived": 22613,
"distTrav": 41375

}413

This in an example, but it happens with every mod using JsonWriteFile fuction.

Mods tested with same problem:

• Intenz-Leaderboard 1758815806
• Harks Stalker Leader Board 3017442961
• VPP Admin Tools 1828439124
• VanillaPlusPlusMap 1623711988

And every single mod using JSON to store and retrieve data I have tried.

Is a Linux issue as all this mods are working properly under Windows (tested).

At this point, I am completely lost. Can you help me?

I initially thought could be something related to my specific Linux file system, but it's a dedicated server running for months a lot of enterprise applications with no errors at all. So I assume it must be related to JsonWriteFile function.

Did you have any similar reports?

Cheers,
Micky.
