DayZ exp linux server bug after update to 1.26.158670
Assigned, NormalPublic

Description

After update to 1.26.158670 linux server does not work properly. The error is different every time, but it looks like these are errors when working with memory. It could be a segfault, munmap_chunk(), malloc() or something like that. The error is reproduced on the void linux host and inside lxc ubuntu 18. The architecture is amd64.

Same here, server crashes on startup if there's an existing storage_X directory in the mission / map to be loaded, where X is the ID (e.g. 1).

Most frequent errors for me are:

munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer
free(): invalid pointer

When this happens the server process completely freezes and needs to be killed. Server is not usable on Linux distros because of this issue. Tested on amd64 KVM Debian 12 and bare metal Debian 11.

Might want to raise the severity because this is game breaking and should not happen...

It seems that after updating to version 1.26.158752, everything is working fine.

Can confirm, no issues observable so far after updating to Build 15600744
