Any mods, we confirmed this is caused even with a blank mod with no functions.

Description

When you have RCON set up with "permission": "admin" and RCON sends any moderation command to the server (kicks, ban, unban), the server instantly crashes.

This issue is widely confirmed by people reporting it on the Arma Discord and even big communities like WCS reporting the same thing is happening to them. We tried multiple mod variations, including a blank mod, but the issue still happens.

    Hello, thank you for the report. We noticed this crash right after the release and have already prepared a possible fix for it. If nothing goes wrong, the fix should be in the next update. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    When is the ETA for the hotfix, making our lives pretty hard atm to manage stuff without BM or all our QoL/Admin mods running.

    Any chance for a hotfix or workaround. This is probably the most impactful bug we've had yet from a playerbase perspective on our server.

    Big question now is: when is 1.8.0.12 about to drop for everyone?

    Can we have an update for the release of 1.8.0.12? or is there a workaround we can use for the meantime?

    The only workaround I know about sofar is to use BattleEyeRCON instead of ReforgerRCON. Battlemetrics does not support BattleEyeRCON tho...

    This was 9 days ago and no hotfix. I am sorry but this is a joke, give us a rough timeframe so we can either work around the crashes or decide to wait. We are not running any mods as we were like cool hotfix, likely the next Thursday we can wait till then. No update yet and we are still waiting, would have built a work around by now and had it implemented.

    We are a vanilla plus server so running Vanilla is not the worse but we can't catch hackers as all our anti cheat tools are in mods, we cannot stop team killers with our auto systems as all that is in mods... like all the stuff BI should do we made for ourselves, we can't use as we rely on BM for our ban management system. And you drop a sale on us while all our mods are down that we use to moderate.

    Just give us a tentative time frame.
