dlegion 98 Posted May 5, 2018 hello guys, i made a script to spawn/de-spawn AI in a bubble around players, but on long run times (my aim is to make it run at least 24h) server crash with this error : 0xC0000005 - STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION after investigating, appears that is a generic error, there is no solution, and probably linked to memory leaks. i tried 100% vanilla server and 100% vanilla client, and server crash in few hours. considering that the server does not crash (24h+) if noone enters....and that the only script difference is that "AI bubble" around players does not spawn any units if there are no players, i take a wild guess and suppose its the "AI bubble" script causing this. here is the script: Spoiler if (isServer) then { ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// DFN_dakka = { private _Dveh = _this select 0;

So i'm doing something "wrong"...and i mean unefficient or causing leaks ? the goal (if possible) it to leave no trace in the memory or in the game itself of the units created and then deleted, or at least minimize the impact on the system to make it run as long as possible. really thansk for any help!

Grumpy Old Man 3540 Posted May 5, 2018 Are you running dedicated? 64 bit? Does the crash happen with a vanilla map and units without any scripts running? There's too much stuff happening, multiple calls and spawns so it's hard to tell from a quick glance. Just from a general standpoint: If you need to access data multiple times during mission runtime, save it to an array instead of constantly calling getArray/getText/getNumber from the config. This way you have all the data you need already available upon mission start and can be sure that this won't increase memory usage of the game any further. Not to mention the performance increase: selectrandom ("getNumber (_x >> 'scope') >= 2" configClasses (configFile >> "CfgVehicles"));//6.28931ms //save to array in init.sqf or wherever you seem fit: GOM_test = "getNumber (_x >> 'scope') >= 2" configClasses (configFile >> "CfgVehicles"); //access array: selectrandom GOM_test;//0.0004ms Other than that, have a read and try adding -malloc=system to start parameters. Haven't been running one of my AI stuffed missions for longer periods lately, but once I switched over to 64bit dedi server executable, which you might recall, heh, I never experienced any crashes, even when running dedi and client on the same rig. Any other info that might be useful? Cheers 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dlegion 98 Posted May 5, 2018 hello Grumpy! thanks for your help ! :) well, its dedicated (i have 2 servers, 1 on my home PC, the same as client with win7, and the other is a pure dedicated win10 machine) and always 64 bit (should i try 32 bit?) awesome idea with config, will follow your example to adapt my script ! (by the way...its a new 1.82 bug that random vehicle skins are no longer random?) about memory, my line actually is (dont know if its correct): arma3server_x64 -port=2302 "-config=C:\STEAM\steamapps\common\Arma 3 Server\TADST\DWARtest\TADST_config.cfg" "-cfg=C:\STEAM\steamapps\common\Arma 3 Server\TADST\DWARtest\TADST_basic.cfg" "-profiles=C:\STEAM\steamapps\common\Arma 3 Server\TADST\DWARtest" -name=DWARtest -filePatching "-mod=curator;heli;jets;kart;mark;orange;tacops;tank" -autoInit -malloc=system about the old memory problem that you can recall, this time the symptoms are a bit different (but maybe its related anyway), because server runs perfectly at 48 fps until sudden crash. there is no increasing memory usage, or server slowing. the crash happens suddenly, at random time but with no sign that can happen soon. other useful info...dont know...i post .rpt of vanilla server and client:https://pastebin.com/GFJg1DGuhttps://pastebin.com/JbKSVmxh really thanks for your help!

dlegion 98 Posted May 9, 2018 well...testing everything one by one, i found that without the spawn/despawn script, server runs for 24h ....so the problem must be there...to be specific in function : DFN_Dspawn as far as i know, "deleteGroupWhenEmpty" and "deleteVehicle" should have cleaned the old AI units, but apparently something is keeped somehow, for example i discovered that "alldead" is keeping count of every dead unit since start, even if deleted. any idea how fix this ?
