Can you attach whole rpt file please? Thanks

I've added the RPT of the most recent crashes + the map I was using here: http://delta.tangodown.nl/A3/

I also can't upload RPT files:

APPLICATION ERROR #501
File type not allowed for uploads.

But I have another ticket open for this issue.

PhysX3 SDK Init started ...
... PhysX3 SDK Init ended
String STR_DN_STONE not found
String STR_DN_STONE not found

These were his last words.

Thank you all for more info and especially for crashdumps, I hope, that it will help.

  1. download the TDNL maps from armaholic

Please, attach repro mission.

The specific map is Agia Marina Carnage:
Old version: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=18738
New version: http://delta.tangodown.nl/A3/TDNL_dm40_Agia_Marina_v3.Stratis.pbo

Full up a server with 40 players and a crash is guaranteed.

Possible workaround, comment out "BattlEye = 1;" in server.cfg file.

I don't know if BattlEye is available yet for Arma3?

Got the same problem at first, Started with "-server" and stopped at:

RPT:
PhysX3 SDK Init started ...
... PhysX3 SDK Init ended
String STR_DN_STONE not found
String STR_DN_STONE not found

---

Server creation failed : 2302

Console:
22:48:40 Dedicated host created.
22:48:42 BattlEye initialization failed

---

Don't know if it's the same problem but might be it.

Stripping out BattlEye was one of the first things I've did.

In the TDM it might be the ammount of game objects in the mission. Then again, another mission that has a ton of markers, but no objects also crashes. Even when the AI is offloaded to a HC.

I haven't seen the same player count like I did when this occoured, so I haven't managed to reproduce it with the current dev-builds.
