I don't see a problem with that solution. Using SRV records like that could work as some kind of shitty matchmaker if you follow the weight and priority parts of the SRV record, but if that is not intended then it's user error. But I'd imagine the main usage would be hosted solutions where multiple servers share the same IP as described by Jaffa, or like @HeroGamers games describes having something like mycommunity.org point to server4.coolgameservers.net, port 23456, both of which wouldn't be degraded by saving the last resolved host/port.

Scratch some part of that.
I can use the same connectToServer hack also for the direct connect UI.
So you have to specifically enter domain and port 0 (or manually empty it (it will be default filled with 2302)) in direct connect.
Then it will try to resolve the port via SRV record, if that fails it falls back to 2302 (same as would've happened before if you left it empty or entered 0 manually)

Running my test missions again seems like it was, or at least it's switching the target a lot faster so this can be closed now @dedmen

the problem was not replicated on the current build even after ten attempts

Steam Beta Client was bugged for a while and caused crashes. Valve already fixed it.
Yeah well "cpu: Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E6300 @ 2.80GHz"
Too old CPU (That one is from 2009). That code that used the unsupported instruction was removed on profiling branch, but different code was added that uses the same instruction.
Your CPU is just too old, I'm surprised it can run windows 10.
We will not fix that.

Please. Stop openiing new tickets for the same thing.
You are getting an error message, it tells you why its crashing.
secExt_x64.dll That comes from the @Rocket Life modpack. Ask them. It failed trying to get your hard drives serial numbers.

Something is wrong with your Arma, there are lots of non-game files in the game folder. D3DCompiler, d3dx9, binkw, X3DAudio, xactengine?
Please delete all files (not folders!) in your game directory, then verify game files in steam to clean it up.
Does it still not work? Then https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_Process_Exit#0xC000007B_-_STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT (It currently links the wrong c++ 2013, it should be c++2022 now)

Don't believe what a spam bot is saying, it cannot be graphics card, the error is CPU side. It might be your CPU is too old though.

Something is very wrong with that trace file.
The game failed to capture properly, it should not only contain extDB entries.
And no it doesn't seem to be a extDB issue, all the extDB scopes are very short, its just that everything inbetween is somehow missing.
Maybe the normal captureFrame log file shows better info, and its just the trace file that's bad?
