Dedicated Server Issue: Memory-stall as soon as AI-Units are on server
New, NormalPublic

Description

Hey there!

As stated on the Discord:

I'm experiencing a persistent problem concerning the RAM usage on our dedicated server.

Even on vanilla-dlc game, custom-mission as test (file attached), the memory usage stalls upwards as soon as AI is placed. More AI = higher rate of mem usage. Deleting AI = stall stops when last unit is deleted

This goes up until the whole 32Gb RAM are used. When I define the "maxMem=24576" it prevents a crash, most of the time but gets unplayable anyway with server fps below 10.
Without that maxMem the server crashes when RAM is full.

No HCs used in the test.

Additional Information

Server is a local machine, not rented.
Remote access for myself, physical access through one of our group-members.

I provided any data / files I think that might be useful within GDrive here:

  1. Mission file; (the init.sqf, description.ext and onplayerkilled.sqf I got from my predecessor and was told to add them to any mission; for the cause that the slots are not disappearing if a player has a crash and re-joins the server)
  1. RAM goes BRRR.mp4; a short clip of FASTER server performance window showing the upscaling RAm in realtime without adding anything to the server there)
  1. per.png; screenshot of FASTER's performance tab and settings
  1. #monitor.mp4; clip of the ingame monitor using the "#monitor 1" command as admin
  1. arma3_Server_XXXX.rpt the last report from the test mission showing some errors I can't understand
  1. to 9. server config, base config, arma3profile, commandline
  1. DxDiag report of the server machine
