Hello,
unfortunately logs doesn't contain any new information. But it is possible enable additional logs for Steam communication by editing the file "(arma 3 folder)\Launcher\logger.xml":
There are 4 loggers related to the Steam in that file
...

<logger name="SteamApi">
  <level value="ERROR" />
  <appender-ref ref="SteamFile" />
</logger>
<logger name="SteamLayer" additive="False">
  <level value="ERROR" />
  <appender-ref ref="SteamFile" />
</logger>
<logger name="SteamAPIWrap">
  <level value="OFF" />
</logger>
<logger name="SteamAPIWrapDump">
  <level value="OFF" />
</logger>

...
and to enable additional information to be logger, you have to change the level setting to ALL for each of them:

  <level value="ALL" />

But by enabling this option Launcher will generate a huge amount of logs so I'd advise you don't leave it enabled for too long.

Right mate,

i have set all 4 lines to "ALL" in the logger as you described, and started the launcher a couple of times. New logs are uploaded. Sorry to make you go through them all.

I want to add that scenario subscriptions work as intended. Is there a difference in the way steam and the arma 3 launcher handle mods and scenarios?

In the "arma3launcher.rpt" log there is the following line:

"SteamAppsWrap [SteamLayerWrap.SteamAppsWrap.GetCurrentBetaName:0] Cannot retrieve current steam branch name"

Does this relate to my issue?

I hope these new logs reveal something new.

Hello,
Steam client downloads the mods and it sends information to Launcher. There are two separate pieces of information (list of the subscribed mods and their status, e.g. it's installed, it's being downloaded) but Launcher didn't received any of them (for at least a month, according to the logs)

Similar issue was reported a few days ago and if I'm not mistaken it was solved by switching to development branch, updating and then switching back to stable branch.

Thx for your reply. Problem still persists, even after a full unistall of arma 3 and the steam client itself. I have uninstalled both and wiped any leftover folders of steam, arma 3 and bohemia (in appdata for instance) and did a fresh install of the steam client on my ssd and arma 3 itself. Again all workshops mods were downloaded to the ....steamapps\workshop\content\107410 folder. But as before, the mods are not being copied over to the arma 3 root folder, hence the launcher can't see them there.

I am totally bewildered how this issue can still persist, ever after such drastic measures. To make absolutely sure, i did as advised in the other ticket you mentioned and switched to steam client beta and back again, and to arma 3 dev branch and back to normal version (both after i did the reinstalling).

Sidenote: The workshop works fine with Skyrim for instance. If i subscribe to a mod from the Skyrim Workshop, it copies the mod over to skyrim data folder when i launch the game. So its really somehow arma 3 related.

I attach the new launcher logs from my new installation. Any help is much appreciated.

Out of memory crashes on RC build of EDEN running Dedicated Server :(

Our comunity has stopped playing arma because of this server bug

maybe an update for you guys since the issue is still open.

im on windows server 2012 and had this issue for a while during december and my server was crashing like once a hour or something. When trying lots of thing to fix it i change 2 major things and it stop crashing, its been 48 hour now and still up. (Auto reboot each 6h)

What i change:
old version of extDB -> extDB2 release 70
change all my BIS_fnc_MP (and life_fnc_MP because i have an Altis Life server) to remoteExec and remoteExecCall

i dont really know if it fix the crash but at least it give me enought time so the server can reboot by itself every 6 hour

Added another one with the performance exe v7.
The server is using less than 1 gb mem now (i improved some of my scripts)

different Crashes with V6 ... Sorry ,, don´t have time to report every Crash

Win Server 2012 R2 :-( .. it´s Hard worke to change the OS ... Maybe we try it ... last week i changed to extDB 65 .. it was hard work too ... Hope BI get a HotFix out before the gos to X-Mas holidays

But Thx... Mybe we try it out

Yeah I'm running windows server 2012 r2 as well. I'm not suggesting to change the OS. Just get a VPS to run ARMA 3 under Ubuntu. I am using this until Bohemia Interactive fixes the windows binaries.

@hirschi

What OS are you using?

If that is Windows, seriously get a VPS with Ubuntu pre-installed, I promise you will not have any crashes.

Crashed again ..
This Time with Perf.BIN V6
1.54.133788
and this time with extDB2

https://www.dropbox.com/s/z0vu7sbf9ve14k2/DieLiga_ServerCrash_4.zip?dl=0

Tried the latest RC build. We might actually be crashing even sooner now....
We have even crashed 30 minutes in, a few times(on tbb4)..

*worth mentioning*
Our server hadn't crashed in MONTHS prior to this update....
(wish others would list helpful data like this to compare against <3)

• MALLOC = EVERY _bi malloc - even custom ones, primarily tbb4malloc_bi though.
• extDB Version = extDB(35).
• Game Mode/Version = Altis Life 3.x heavily modified.
• Using bis/life_fnc_mp OR remoteExec = still using life_fnc_mp/BIS_fnc_MP.
• Headless Client = no, removed.

Here's a link to our dump files/rpt, we were online for an hour only 50-60 players =(...

Hey Everyone.

I have been doing quite a bit of testing with this issue, and so everyone is aware I host OzzyGaming.com Altis Life server. We have been plagued with these crashes. On average from 10 minutes to an hour at best.

I have done quite abit of research into what has been happening and One thing stands out, Windows.

As such I wanted to confirm my findings by setting up a server hosted under linux. So I purchased a VPS with Ubuntu pre-installed and installed my server on that. And the results were shocking to say the least.

Not one crash at all. Desync just as you'd expect from a low grade VPS server but that server survived without a crash for upto 7 hours where it was restarted normally.

This issue has been around since late July. Not sure why but there was evidence of this issue back then. So Bohemia Interactive this has something to do with the way ARMA is trying to store data to memory under a Windows Based environment.

Also anyone experiencing this issue. grab a VPS server with what you afford and or use HyperV to run ARMA under Ubuntu or other linux based OS

Uploaded crashes with performance v6 (Crash_withV6.rar).

tried ryanzombies 3.3 and 1.54 still crashing :(

This crash is being plagued by alot of Altis Life Servers within the Australian Altis Life Community. Myself at OzzyGaming we are having this issue consistantly every 30 minutes. At most our server can stay up for about 2 hours. Before the 1.54 update the server could stay up for days without needing a restart.

Tonight My client is now even crashing with this error.

Within our community we have a tag saying when ever anyone breaks anything on the server. #BIbrokeIt has been past around a lot lately.

BUMP

FIX IT

seems like it is still happening with the new 1.54.133701

We are having the same issues on our 100Slot server. I hope this is being heard, its rough for our gaming community. I pray for a hotfix!

Attached 2 log-file packages of arma 3 client (while I was playing on updated server and fps dropped down until crash).

• Already sent it to Adam via Skype.

Crashed alot over the weekend... just so you know :)
Currently our servers are down until a fix comes along. Saves on disappointment when the persistent mission crashes.

Uploaded crash reports from to different roots with -memram changes and memoryalloctor changes but everything fails... server randomly crash and thats so silly....

Hello we at our group are still getting the out of Memory error.

Link to the rpt and bidmp of last nights crash in .rar :-
https://mega.nz/#!K1MFhB7B!mAAuZDq5tj7JuBMhl9ucoIZBQKc-rQCer56RZk6VDqE

We are playing modded but not Zombies or anything weird like that.

I added a dump from my local pc.
I can reproduce the mem leek easily with:

Just run this and everytime the server eats more mem. See arma3server_mem_leek.zip

for "_i" from 0 to 500 step 1 do {
_group = creategroup east;

_civil = _group createUnit ["B_Soldier_F", [175.769, 8030.45, 0], [], 0, "FORM"];

_civil setvariable ["civilrole", "civil", true];
_civil setvariable ["destination", [175.769, 8030.45, 0], false];
_civil setvariable ["wcprotected", true, false];
_civil disableAI "FSM";
_civil disableAI "TARGET";
_civil disableAI "AUTOTARGET";
_civil setBehaviour "CARELESS";
_civil disableConversation true;
_civil setCaptive true;

deletevehicle _civil;
deletegroup _group;
};

or do i miss to clean something?

The problem is still there with the 1.54 hotfix. Here is another hint:

"ANY custom units or uniform packs should be temporarily disabled or you should rollback to 1.52, the reasons behind this are that whilst the mods "will run" on 1.54 they won't be working correctly given that there is a new hitpoint system that has been introduced, any custom uniform or unit/character pack will simply be broken, if using uniform its players, if using character packs for AI or zombies as an example the units will be incredibly OP and won't take damage effectively, this cannot be fixed by us (the community) and will require the mod authors to update the various addons, TRYK, RyanZombies etc are examples of these addons.

Was this on vanilla Exile or on modded whilst actually shooting at custom units or units wearing the custom clothing? Those are the only 2 circumstances that will cause the issues noted, hitpoints are setup as "dots" if you like inside the model where the game picks up bullet collisions, so its possible that you simply may have just shot them in the right place but this would not be the case 100% of the time in-action and inaccurately shooting.

HERE is a example of I believe the old system (credits to breaking point for the image source), I don't know what exactly has been changed in the newer versions but the units, clothing etc from current (pre 1.54) mods will be using this older system, if they upped hitpoint count then players wearing vanilla uniform etc will die a lot easier than those wearing the older clothing.

If you still wish to run custom units/clothing and are suffering a "out of memory" errors after a unspecified period of time, removing it from the server till it has been updated is all I can suggest, if the time it happens is guaranteed and is after an hour or 2 try cutting restart times down to before the crash" from KamikazeXeX

I'm sorry, we're unable to replicate the issue and there's no problem recorded in the logs. Could you please try to replicate the issue again and save a screenshot of the list before deleting the item and after that, upload them and upload the logs again?

Uploaded.

Hello, could you please upload Launcher logs? You can generate an archive with logs by choosing 'Export Launcher logs to desktop...' from Options menu in the top right corner of the window.

Hey, more information can be found here

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Stamina

Hello, please try to Uninstall the Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable package (x86 version), restart your computer and install the package again (do not use the Repair function). Thank you.

Is there Someone ?

that does not work i have the same error

Yes, it was tried in the editor. Does that make a difference? If so, it should be mentioned here:

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Functions_Library_(Arma_3)#Adding_a_Function

Isn't it because you tried it in the editor? Because missionNamespace functions can be recompiled freely there for debugging purposes.

Great! So it was a lack of information. Phew!

It is mentioned there:

As a security measure, functions are by default protected against rewriting during the mission. This restriction does not apply in missions previewed from the editor...

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Functions_Library_%28Arma_3%29#Recompiling

But it probably deserves more attention, I'll find a way how to highlight it.

@Unstopable,
your issue is slightly different, so it might not work for you.

I was able to launch the Launcher after using the registry entry file. And after doing some research, it appears that an anti-malware program may have deleted some legitimate .NET entries from the registry. Not sure why I haven't had an issue till now, but Launcher does work.

Hello,
the problem is caused by missing system component, or more precisely the registration of the component is missing from your PC.

I've upload registry files with component registration from my PC to http://arma.jiripolasek.com/files/TaskBarCommunicationComponentRegistration.zip Applying that might fix your issue, but I can't give you any guarantees that it would work for you.
