Server goes into infinite loop because of the mod load order
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Sometimes the server goes into the infinite loop after loading. I tried to determine the pattern but it's always random.
So what happens. After the server is loaded and the console shows the usual
"10:20:37 Dedicated host created.
10:20:42 Host identity created.
10:20:42 Game Port: 2302, Steam Query Port: 2303"
but the server is actually stuck in some form of infinite loop. No one can join it and it uses 25% of cpu without any progress, we can wait forever and it will never unstuck. The only way to close it is to kill the process, closing the console window does nothing.
But, the strange thing is that this can be fixed. By changing the mod load order. Sometimes I need to move one mod, sometimes the other, sometimes even remove something. It has nothing to do with dependencies, I just need to move mods around until I find the right spot. That's really strange.
For example, I can find the right load order but after the update it will break. Doesn't matter what was updated, the game or some mod, it can break. It doesn't break after any update of course, but it happens more and more. I really have no idea because it doesn't happen on the client, client can use any load order and will load successfully. I'm not running any signatures checks etc or BE.
RPTs.
First rpt - https://mega.co.nz/#!SlRDAQwK!7NXz6BGAwx7xVHfLtkKOPQWa6DUjKn4fIrJr25v0odE
Second rpt - https://mega.co.nz/#!H0hD1YKB!61mF5qixhT1ZKXekP0fvRm3vuuYfXJ1HWUOLtqU6Mds
So I uploaded two rpt files.
First one is when the server goes into the infinite loop.
Second is a successful load.
The only thing that I changed is moved @murshun_mods to load last.

Hello,

thank you for the ticket. Mods are not official content from Bohemia Interactive and it is very likely that the issues you are experiencing are caused by collisions between two or more mods.

If the issues stop (on Arma without mods), please try to activate mods one by one until you find out which one causes the issues.

Thank you for your feedback

same issue with extDB2 and ASM the load order is important.
I contacted Torndeco here https://github.com/Torndeco/extDB2/issues/53

He told me to contact you.

But i didnt cuz i exepected this kind of response because you are too busy making dlcs while im sitting at kavala with 30fps and a gtx 780
