Always crashing in -server mode, Windows Server 2008 R2
Assigned, NormalPublic

Description

When running the game in "dedicated server mode" (-server) on Windows Server 2008 R2, the arma3.exe on the server will crash soon after a mission has started; generally in less than a minute. More AI makes the server crash sooner, especially AI on the player's squad.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Run Arma3 with -server parameter (Steam offline mode) on Win 2008 R2.
  2. Join the server and start a mission.
  3. Server crashes in less than 10 minutes.
Additional Information

Tried and experienced the same crashing behavior with the first stable version and every DEV version up until the latest (0.53.103342).

Disabled DEP on the server - no effect.

Having AI on the player squad seems to make the server crash much faster. With no player squad AI, the crash sometimes occurs only after 10 minutes (even with 50+ enemy AI).
