Is it modded?

List mods

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.

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...
