SOLVED Today's hotfix (v1130) hard crashes dedicated server

Seems to be caused when people have a big accident in a wall that used to make their client crash but now dedicated hard crashes itself. Can't find any way to rollback to v.1129

Edit: Enforcing damage (disabling allow invulnerability) seems to fix it, but AI also make server crash if they hit a wall. Not a valid option for Nordschleife-Traffic

 

I am also getting this fault since i updated the HOTFIX last Night. Have not been able to run a server since. It crashes with only AI in Server. No Real Drivers. It also played up with my MAS.exe as i was unable to create any new packages until i started using the MAS2_x64.exe. My Server is still crashing since. I have added my Trace in the RF2 Discord Channel #support

 

Had a look at the trace file, the only thing that looks odd is where is the server installed, on E or D drive;
Start of trace says E drive, but at the 5.21 second mark says D drive

 

Crashing here all night, my solution is go to bed

 

I tried multiple tracks<->cars combos and they all end up crashing, if there are AI. No AI, even having a big wall crash like I had said, server stays rock solid. I also tried official Nurburgring with official Ligier P320 as a new mas file and with 30 AI it takes from 1 to 10 minutes to crash the server. Watching the replay, at least 1 AI car gets out of track then they all start to wiggle and server crashes. As for settings, they are different for each server I run, but one isn't out of the ordinary. This is Lafbros-Ford VS Ferrari '67 that is currently live running v1128. player and Multiplayer JSON files attached.

 

OK. I have run the server again. It failed after 50mins. To be honest i have tried all my servers and content combos. ALL with the same result. Please see attachments.

GOANNA........ Where would i go to trace that as i dont use E: Drive.

 

Cont'd Server Settings.....sorry i couldnt upload individual files

 

Trace from Todays Crash

 

You starting your server from a shortcut? If so right click on it and select properties and check that the “target” and “start in” boxes both point to your D drive install.

 

Wow........ Looking at it they are all wrong . I dont know how they worked in the first place. I only saw it when i copied the string to Notepad. (Hard to see when it in the small properties window)

This is what it looked like;
"D:\rFactor2_Dedi\Bin64\rFactor2 Dedicated.exe" E:\rFactor2\Bin64\rFactor2 Dedicated.exe +profile=BTCCLeague +trace=2 +traceFlush

New String:
"D:\rFactor2_Dedi\Bin64\rFactor2 Dedicated.exe" +profile=BTCCLeague +trace=2 +traceFlush

Im starting a new server to test. Its been up for 10 mins so far but its around the 50min mark it usually crashes.

Thanks @Goanna

 

Server just Crashed again. Latest Trace file.

 

Please disregard what I said about crashing in walls, seems like they were just many coincidences in a row. Here's my trace of my fastest crashing server w/o anyone logging in, only AI.

 

Did you get my PLR files? Its in a ZIP above

 

I have been able to reproduce the problem with a clean install with the server on the same LAN.
These are the steps I followed:
- Clean install with steamcmd
- Navigate to C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\ folder and delete all the .dat files
- Install USF2000 + Toban, make mod with MASx64.exe
- Serverkeys from the complete game installation
- Change HTTP port 27013 in multiplayer
- With ModMgr, manually install rfcmp from this tracks and cars:

Barcelona2021 v1.23, Silverstone_2016_v2.16, rf2_Watkins_Glen_International_v1.15, sm_CTMP_v1.03, SpaFrancorchamps_2020_v1.15, Zandvoort_2020_v2.61

Ferrari_488_GT3_2020_v1.45, McLaren_720S_GT3_2018_v1.75, Porsche_911_GT3_R_2018_v1.77

- Make mod with MASx64.exe, start the server.
- From the client machine I start rFactor2, multiplayer and connect to the server.
- Activate the AI to see what happens.
- Crash to desktop on the client with the game running in the background. Had to kill process. This happens always I quit the game lately.
- Server already crash to desktop some time after.

 

Something worth noting is that the Server seems to be ok with NO AI (Over an hour). As soon as you ad AI it crashes within 5 mins

 

New logs from new attemp.
This time in Silverstone, perfect during formation lap and then the servers crash.
I have logs and config files from the server and the client side (no minidump file generated).
Config of the server if it helps.
