Linux Dedicated Server feedback

Recommended Posts

Just checking in - Is the custom Windows path (~/.local/share/Arma\ 3\ -\ Other\ Profiles/<profilename>) for the profile directory still necessary for LInux server or has this been somehow fixed with "+ fixed Linux server issues with real paths (relative to full)"?

i think i found a bug with the current stable linux server version (vanilla, no mods):

 

after restarting the server via the new admin command ingame > #restartserver the linux box throws a  "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"

dmesg: "segfault at 3dd3eab3 ip 000000003dd3eab3 sp 00000000f5bff2e8 error 14"

 

used startup line: ./arma3server -name=BLA -cpucount=4 -nologs -config=server.cfg

 

same setup under windows works as intended, #restartserver works 100%

without this command the linux box runs perfect, never had any issue with it, but i like the idea behind this #restartserver command.

 

anyone else can confirm this behaviour?

hi guys,

just a question: there is no 64bit executables for linux?

 

@macchky it sounds like an incompatibilty issue with new version, extdb is widely used so i suppose it should be fixed very soon. did you tried with extdb3?

@tRiKy_ch YES. After update, Linux has only 32bit exec yet.

 

extDB self is fine, both exec Linux arma3server and extDB are 32bit.

I think Somekind of arma3's file search method was broken.

yes but if you check the changelog this update chages a lot of things besides 64bit

my thought is you are on extdb devs hand at time

Extdb3 does not work in linux after the update, I am using version 1027 of extdb3 and v1.68.140908 of arma3, someone with the same problem?

Ps. With the previous version (v1.66.139586) worked normally

Evening ladies and gents, apologies ahead of time I already posted this in the performance branch feedback then realized there is a this thread.

I'm having an issue after the lovely 1.68 update. If I run my servers with "verifySignatures=2" it will not show the server as running any mods but if I remove that from the config everything is fine and dandy. I've already verified that the proper .bikeys  are in place. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

I haven't pulled down a Windows copy of the dedicated server yet to see if the issue is strictly a Linux platform issue yet but I intend to in a few hours.

P.S.
Running CentOS7 Incase that interests anyone.

Yes it does. I just threw the performance binary in on a test server a bit ago and it worked like a charm though sadly if I'm understanding the post correctly they are only 32bit binaries so the problem may still be present when we get our hands on the 64bit.

yes but consider there are no 64bit binaries for linux server for now, even on the main branch

Sirs, I have dedicated linux server running Oracle Linux 7.3 and another one with Fedora Server 25.
The executable is still in 32 bits and one of the compatibildiade problems I have been encountering with 64 bits is that the audio does not work (opus and speex codec), clan tag does not appear.

arma3server  ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.26, BuildID[sha1]=a9d08b35a0d6f8c89f6e34cf88b054bfa639de6f, stripped.

Hi guys,

 

I'm likely missing something very obvious, but I can't seem to update to 1.68. If I run "app_update 233780 validate", it claims I'm already up to date... the server is running 1.66 as confirmed when launching. Any ideas?

@AndreNix audio issue has to be client side IMHO, about clantag: it seems that units support on linux server is not complete, on my server clantag staretd to work (magically) itself, but still not see emblems on uniforms/vehicles

 

@z3r0sum try using absolute path when setting "force_install_dir" to be sure you're updating your installtion and not making a new one

check also the arma3server executable date, if older than 16.03.2017 there something wrong

I'm happy with the Linux dedicated server, it runs good on Debian.

But I'm really sad that you can't run the DEV branch on Linux, especially now when the Jets DLC is only on DEV.

 

Any workarounds or updates on this matter?
