Dedicated servers freeze computerS every time their processes are killed.
New, WishlistPublic

Description

Whenever I kill my dedicated servers using a batch file or THE Task Manager, it will freeze the entire server to an extent that I lose the remote desktop connection to it and all its Internet services (mail/web/ftp) become temporarily unavailble.

After 5-10 minutes, the freezing is gone and the server generates two crash dump files. One is about 900 Kb (see attachment) and the other is over 1 GB. {F25027}

I found an entry in the windows event viewer regarding the crash. It is caused by PhysX3_X86.dll.

I‘ve found other server admins having the same problem when they reset/restart the mission on the dedicated server.

Please fix this problem.
