There is an issue plaguing dedicated server since a few month, a few updates back, maybe more, but I noticed since the last map contest announcement that there was random server crashes, which I never seen before. They are always the same kind.
Here is the first post I made about the issue: https://forums.tripwireinteractive....ntest-winners-announced.2332985/#post-2333002
During my test session with all the custom maps announced I had a crash on Twisted Story, and at that time I though, ho well, a problem with a custom map, nothing abnormal.
To be clear, my server usually never crashed before, without a human error involved somewhere, it was pretty stable overall. I run multiple servers since Early Access and I can assure you I know what I'm talking about and saw the improvement over time for servers, but I also can see now the stability problem rising. I used to sometimes run my servers without an issue for month(s), and restarting only when I needed to reboot the machine itself.
But since a few updates, not sure when it really started, I have random crashes, not REGULARLY, but often enough to consider it to be a problem that may need to be looked at.
The error every time my server crashes, is always the same, in the link above you can look at the log part, but I will paste other crash log example here too. It has always something to do with 'Octree Warning (AddPrimitive) something something'
^ MY paste is not going well, the forum doesn't accept it, it removes part of it (why I eventually posted it as a file in the link above), seems like some weird shenanigans happening when writing the log file during crash, maybe weird invisible character is inserted in the lines, so I joined this paste as a file in this thread too (weirdsht.txt) and joined another one (End of Launch-backup-2019.06.28-21.44.39.txt) with way more of these weird log lines at the end of log file.
So this is happening on any map, official or custom. Sometimes it happens on a server started since a week, sometimes it happens after one or two maps after server start.. this is completely random (probably there is a reason but seems random to me). It happens when people play on it, not when it is empty.
What seems to be relevant is this:
The parts in bold are ALWAYS here at the end of my log file when my server randomly crashes, and then after that the random characters weird lines that I never saw before these crashes started to happen.
