If you want to know how much of it is the AI's behavioral modelling, then you need to put the AI in the same aircraft as yourself. How does the AI handle to P51 up at 28000ft, fighting against you also in a P51?

No. The aircraft engines are supposed to be "off" but "warm". DCS does not allow this so we start then "hot" but with zero fuel. This makes the engine shut off before the pilot can taxy. This is effectively the same as off and warm. this is the only way we can achieve what we want.

Server update - we are running with some stability now on the Open Beta. https://stormofwar.net/2021/05/07/may-2021-sow-server-2-7-update/

We are happy that this is resolved now. Thanks ED! Feel free to close this thread.

Searchlights in the attached image are on the other side of that thick cloud.

SoW crash again this evening. Crash dump files and server log available from link below. Goes without saying, exactly the same errors / lines reported that we've been seeing for more than a week. log: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15cegLjflI9xp9-mNx3HbBO-6jEpRDzRO/view?usp=sharing crash & dump files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bdvLbj9Bf_JJHjmeyn_-kGMsMAHEDi9o/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/14sycmUyNprDInIRa1PMvTHVQE7xHtYFq/view?usp=sharing player trk file from a player who was online at the time of the crash: https://wetransfer.com/downloads/a6a4feabec5e4433460eb69743f1726920210430190725/37a23f This will be the last crash report from us on this build. We are no longer learning anything new or receiving any new information that might help.

In addition to the consistent log file entries every time the server crashes, we are also getting the same critical error in the windows event viewer. All of them related to a failure in C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll This dll is reported by windows as the faulting module. Attached are screenshots of the last four crashes reported in the windows event viewer:

Similar experience on SoW. Crashes seem to occur when player count is above 25 or so, and for 30 minutes or more. We also get troubles with players connecting, then the server will crash some time afterwards. Monitoring CPU, RAM and Ethernet use during those times shows no hardware overload. So the hardware is not maxing out.

Yet another crash overnight. Exactly the same lines, once again ion the log immediately prior to the crash: Full log here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hfQ8sE1gA4kkJtr846lqBADlVYSkRhHW/view?usp=sharing

OK thanks for the reply.

Hi BigNewy, have our suspicious about drivers and OS updates been confirmed as the cause now? This seems odd, given that we've all updated our driers and OS's now and are still seeing the crashes. This would strongly suggest to me that the OS / Driver thing is NOT in play here.

Made it through 24 hours this time before we had a crash. Crash occurred once player count had been over 35 for around 45 minutes. We have enabled full data logging now. The log is showing the same few lines right before the crash that we've been seeing over and over again. namely: 2021-04-28 16:57:39.424 WARNING EDOBJECTS: RegMapStorage::ForceID() - id is busy 2021-04-28 16:57:39.424 ERROR EDOBJECTS: Failed assert `success` at Projects\edObjects\Source\Registry\RegMapStorage.cpp:178 Full log here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18ENrJRHRFNAGOtXo7OXObKWMhBSjlc1j/view?usp=sharing Last few lines: 2021-04-28 16:57:36.433 DEBUG Scripting: ATCToLeaderHandler : make, coalition = 1 2021-04-28 16:57:36.433 DEBUG Scripting: Phrases make : key = 4 2021-04-28 16:57:36.433 DEBUG Scripting: Phrases make : key = 1 2021-04-28 16:57:36.433 DEBUG Scripting: Phrases make : key = 4274 2021-04-28 16:57:36.433 DEBUG Scripting: Phrases make : key = 0 2021-04-28 16:57:37.441 INFO Scripting: event:targetPilotName=Paranoid,type=start shooting,weapon=Bofors 40mm gun,target=FW-190D9,t=17121.155,initiatorMissionID=1549,targetMissionID=18823, 2021-04-28 16:57:37.441 INFO Scripting: event:weapon=Bofors 40mm HE,t=17121.155,type=shot,initiatorMissionID=1549, 2021-04-28 16:57:37.954 INFO Scripting: event:weapon=Bofors 40mm HE,t=17121.659,type=shot,initiatorMissionID=1549, 2021-04-28 16:57:38.420 INFO Scripting: event:weapon=Bofors 40mm HE,t=17122.137,type=shot,initiatorMissionID=1549, 2021-04-28 16:57:38.928 INFO Scripting: event:weapon=Bofors 40mm HE,t=17122.645,type=shot,initiatorMissionID=1549, 2021-04-28 16:57:39.410 INFO Scripting: event:weapon=Bofors 40mm HE,t=17123.124,type=shot,initiatorMissionID=1549, 2021-04-28 16:57:39.424 WARNING EDOBJECTS: RegMapStorage::ForceID() - id is busy 2021-04-28 16:57:39.424 ERROR EDOBJECTS: Failed assert `success` at Projects\edObjects\Source\Registry\RegMapStorage.cpp:178 2021-04-28 16:57:39.424 INFO Scripting: event:type=eject,initiatorPilotName=Paranoid,target=,t=17123.131,initiatorMissionID=18823,targetMissionID=0, 2021-04-28 16:57:39.424 INFO Scripting: event:targetPilotName=Paranoid,type=kill,initiatorPilotName=Willzah,weapon=,target=FW-190D9,t=17123.131,initiatorMissionID=18890,targetMissionID=18823, 2021-04-28 16:57:39.912 INFO Scripting: event:weapon=Bofors 40mm HE,t=17123.624,type=shot,initiatorMissionID=1549, 2021-04-28 16:57:39.925 INFO Scripting: event:weapon=Bofors 40mm gun,t=17123.624,type=end shooting,initiatorMissionID=1549, 2021-04-28 16:57:40.760 INFO Scripting: event:targetPilotName=Paranoid,type=start shooting,weapon=Bofors 40mm gun,target=FW-190D9,t=17124.475,initiatorMissionID=1549,targetMissionID=18823, 2021-04-28 16:57:40.760 INFO Scripting: event:weapon=Bofors 40mm HE,t=17124.475,type=shot,initiatorMissionID=1549, 2021-04-28 16:57:41.282 INFO Scripting: event:weapon=Bofors 40mm HE,t=17124.978,type=shot,initiatorMissionID=1549, 2021-04-28 16:57:41.583 INFO Scripting: event:type=hit,weapon=Bofors 40mm HE,target=,t=17125.294,initiatorMissionID=3169,targetMissionID=, 2021-04-28 16:57:41.783 WARNING LOG: 5 duplicate message(s) skipped. 2021-04-28 16:57:41.783 INFO Scripting: event:weapon=Bofors 40mm HE,t=17125.486,type=shot,initiatorMissionID=1549, 2021-04-28 16:57:42.285 INFO Scripting: event:weapon=Bofors 40mm HE,t=17125.993,type=shot,initiatorMissionID=1549, 2021-04-28 16:57:42.787 INFO Scripting: event:weapon=Bofors 40mm HE,t=17126.498,type=shot,initiatorMissionID=1549, 2021-04-28 16:57:43.289 INFO Scripting: event:weapon=Bofors 40mm HE,t=17126.999,type=shot,initiatorMissionID=1549, 2021-04-28 16:57:43.303 INFO Scripting: event:weapon=Bofors 40mm gun,t=17126.999,type=end shooting,initiatorMissionID=1549,

We are using Windows Server with AMD CPU yes. Have done a couple of repairs, but at this point not a complete DCS reinstall . . .

Another server crash just now. No crash dump created, DCS just insta-closed. Log file is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uSdgwykP-_m60XG-ku0uPxSe1OfqfU6G/view?usp=sharing The last few lines are the same thing we've been seeing over and over for days now, and have been posted here numerous times: 2021-04-27 18:22:59.532 WARNING EDOBJECTS: RegMapStorage::ForceID() - id is busy 2021-04-27 18:22:59.532 ERROR EDOBJECTS: Failed assert success at Projects\edObjects\Source\Registry\RegMapStorage.cpp:178 2021-04-27 18:22:59.532 INFO Scripting: event:type=eject,initiatorPilotName=JetRo,target=,t=17988.781,initiatorMissionID=1705,targetMissionID=0, 2021-04-27 18:22:59.532 INFO Scripting: event:targetPilotName=JetRo,type=kill,weapon=,target=P-51D,t=17988.781,initiatorMissionID=19178,targetMissionID=1705,

After a few hours people joining the server are getting a join-crash at the "Net Sim Post Start" phase of joining. A a screenshot is attached.

this could be a new crash, am not sure. The content itself is different from the above, although same server. Logs and crash dump files were generated this time. They are all stored here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/17A3uNubPjxKadeyZ-4QuoJvLfG3_W4Yi

Please see this thread. I suspect the map is involved in these crashes based on the lines in the log, but I cannot be sure.

These are all over the Normandy map. There are also places where Rivers/ streams flow up hill . . . Quality Control on this map was done at 30,000ft I think.

Another crash over night. No mods running on server. We're seeing the same lines in the log just prior to the crash over and over: 2021-04-25 23:02:29.007 WARNING EDOBJECTS: RegMapStorage::ForceID() - id is busy 2021-04-25 23:02:29.007 ERROR EDOBJECTS: Failed assert success at Projects\edObjects\Source\Registry\RegMapStorage.cpp:178 2021-04-25 23:02:29.007 INFO Scripting: event:type=eject,initiatorPilotName=SKettshy,target=,t=12177.307,initiatorMissionID=2447,targetMissionID=0, Full log here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18x_xE2_mT-31fYTxqVuMmB1flQiP1MhW/view?usp=sharing I reiterate that DCS is closing instantly without producing a crash dump file.

here is the trk from the player who recorded the "eject" in the final line of the above log: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C67dIzqtFXoO7e8fmWiBsWS4qlAsY2MJ/view?usp=sharing

Hi Grimes, we updated SL-mod to your newer dev version for 2.7. I am not sure if these crashes are occurring due to the mod though. Here is a post about what we are seeing. There still seems to be an event connection to ejection/ bail outs.

Storm of War server, Normandy map. Regular crashes without producing a crash dump or trk file. DCS just shuts down completely. We are seeing similar patterns in the log each time, like this: 2021-04-25 13:07:24.058 WARNING EDOBJECTS: RegMapStorage::ForceID() - id is busy 2021-04-25 13:07:24.058 ERROR EDOBJECTS: Failed assert success at Projects\edObjects\Source\Registry\RegMapStorage.cpp:178 2021-04-25 13:07:24.058 INFO Scripting: event:type=eject,initiatorPilotName=ironbutterfly,target=,t=16949.728,initiatorMissionID=1695,targetMissionID=0, Full log for reference: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sO2qJtMTmnWn61SBbr2ZZxewaY6Mogb-/view?usp=sharing

Thanks Grimes.. we really appreciate the updates
