[HELP] Arma 2 OA server crashing repeatedly! Tried everything!

[jellythatisroyal 1]

Hello, I am having some pretty major problems with my Arma 2 OA Takistan Life: Revolution server. It had been running fine on patch version 96895 for about 3 weeks when it suddenly took a turn for the worst. It started crashing a few times in one day. There had been no edits to the PBO or updates to the patch version the only thing that had changed was Battleye. I have tried updating to 97771 tried reinstalling battleye even tried reinstalling the entire Operating System in attempts to replicate the fine first weeks it had worked. Nothing is working. And it is becoming unplayable.

This is what it shows on the RPT log.

That tells us nothing of you server configs, or startup modline. Could also be something between the latest patch and TBB4.

If it was working fine with a previous patch... why not go back to it?

Personally I wouldn't recommend running a dedicated server of a Steam version... but each to their own I guess.

Best thing to do is copy your whole Arma2 directory elsewhere to run the server.exe, and pick whatever level of the beta patch you want to use from the FTP site.
