Enemy NPC not moving (on newly installed Linux Server)

[BlackNeonx_O 0]

Hello Folks

 

I'v a little issue with the default missions/server.

 

Yesterday I Installed a Linux server (VM) for me and my friends on my virtualization host - (4 Cores 8 GB of RAM). I did a clean installation without mod so we can play the default missions together. After the installation i joined the server and started the first APEX mission.
First checkpoint (clean the area) i can see the enemy NPC/KI but they're not walking nor moving around, just turning and shooting. It look like if they're half sitting. I cleanded the area and moved to the next checkpoint same issue.
I disconnected from the Server restarted it and tried the same mission again - same issue, Again disconnecting from the server and rejoining, this time the 2nd APEX mission, but again same issue as before. The team NPC/KI has the same issue (UPDATED EDIT-2).

 

Has someone experienced the same issue(and hopefully solved it)? Any other ideas?

 

Please feel free to ask me if your missing some information.

 

Thanks

Thomas

Okey so i played another mission (non apex) an ran into the same issue - heli transporation - the team NPC do not enter the heli because they're not moving too like the enemy NPC's

EDIT-2 - 16.02.2018 20:22 - Team NPC too

I reinstalled the whole server, on the first mission i'havent noticed the issue - after that i had to restart the host server (added an SSD for the arma3 VM), issue came back 😞

I'll try to stop the server delete the profiles and start the server again.

EDIT-4 - 16.02.2019 21:23 - Delete Profile

Okey so i deleted the profile folders and created new empty folders - restarted the server issue was gone. As temporary solution i added a little script to cronjob which deletes and creates the profile folders everytime i restart the VM.

Spoiler

del_prof.sh

rm -R /home/steam/.local/*
mkdir -p ~/".local/share/Arma 3" && mkdir -p ~/".local/share/Arma 3 - Other Profiles"

crontab -e

@reboot /home/steam/del_prof.sh && cd /home/steam/Steam/arma3/ && ./arma3server -config=server.cfg -loadMissionToMemory -enableHT

 

 

EDIT-5 - 17.02.2019 11:00 - No ideas left

Okey so today and yesterday i looked through the profile files and couln't find a mistake (to be honest its hard for me to find something, if i dont know what to look after) - didn't change anything. I think its a bug from the arma3server binary who autogenerates those profiles and messes something up after the first restart.

Could need some help now.
