Overflow
I have been experiencing server crashes with a one-word log output: "Overflow".

This is with a long running Domination mission. The server usually crashes within 24 hours of mission start. The best has run for maybe three days before crashing but that is unusually good.

This is with the latest Domination on a Linux instance and has been happening for weeks. There is no sign of disk, memory or CPU distress before the crash.

Anyone else seeing this problem?

[EDIT]: works on Windows, crashes on Linux

No one else??

This has been really bad. Crashing constantly usually in less than 6 hours. This is with 3.95 on a fairly powerful Linux dedicated server. No mods. This wasn't happening with older versions, considering rolling back.

The log output is just "Overflow".

I have also had problems with fps. My dedicated server with 32 ram and 2 xeons with 24 cores, drops a lot the fps drops to 19 20 30 on the client and server

I disabled AI features and kept the settings conservative and the game runs a bit longer before crashing after around 24 hours vs crashing in 6 hours with AI and AI features.

This crashing has started recently. I'm considering rolling back to an older version. I didn't see these issues in the past, long running games were staying healthy for weeks.

I have problems since the last BI update... Anyway, please test with an older version and tell me if it is better with an older version (and which one).

I haven't really made changes that can cause such performance problems. But I have issues after the latest A3 patch.

I found an old version on Armaholic v3.72 and I started a mission on Stratis. It has been running for three days with mostly default settings and it has not crashed.

So... rolling back seems to fix this. Not sure what that means.

Ok the 3.72 mission just crashed. It lasted for almost four days but then crashed with "Overflow" in the logs.

Unfortunately this is still occurring with Domination 1.96. In the past six months Domination has been very unstable and it seems worse now. The "crash" usually occurs within 12 hours of mission start or even faster.

The server logs just show the one word error "Overflow". This is using a dedicated Linux instance. Other missions can run for long periods of time (Insurgency for instance) but at the moment Domination crashes so frequently it is basically unplayable.

Is this problem occurring on Windows servers too or just Linux? Is there any more information I can provide to help troubleshoot this problem? Any additional logging, etc?

I'm playing on a Windows server that runs Domi 24/7 without quite a Lot of players and it never crashes. Report it to BI without logs

do you use RHS mods on your server?

I just tested this by switching to Windows with the exact same server resources and game settings. It has been stable for many days, no crashes at all.

This must be an issue with Linux servers only. I will try to figure out how to file a bug with BI.

No mods, just vanilla Arma 3. It runs fine with Windows.

Seems the Linux A3 server is still not as good as the Win server...
