duplicate of ARGF-321?

Reproduced on Dedicated Server 1.8.0.10.

Control: Vanilla GM Everon, no Workshop addons — 0 thermalProfileDefault.conf errors.

WCS_Core 8.0.2 only (64610AFB74AA9842) + vanilla GM Everon — 150,188 thermalProfileDefault.conf log references / 75,094 failed lookups.

Enfusion Database Framework only (5D6EA74A94173EDF) + vanilla GM Everon — exactly the same 150,188 references / 75,094 failed lookups.

RHS Status Quo + Content Packs 1 & 2 + vanilla GM Everon — 153,932 references / 76,966 failed lookups.

In all cases the repeated failure is:
{CC547D988287BF7C}system/thermal/thermalProfileDefault.conf
RESOURCES (E): Failed to open
'system/thermal/thermalProfileDefault.conf' is not a valid thermal profile!

The dedicated server eventually reaches GAME, but the same resource storm appears to contribute to extremely long/stalled client loading and connection/query timeouts on larger mod stacks.

Yeah, it looks like this is basically the same issue, just described a bit differently.

I opened this one because I could reproduce it consistently on dedicated servers as soon as any addon is loaded, and I also collected some extra info about the thermal profile errors.

From what I’ve seen, and from what other server owners told me, this seems to be a broader issue affecting modded dedicated servers after the 1.8 update, not something tied to one specific server, host, mod, or setup.

In my opinion, this is something that should be addressed fairly urgently, since it seems to affect a large part of the modded server community and generates a huge amount of resource errors on startup.

If it turns out to be the same root issue, I’m totally fine with this being marked as a duplicate. I can also add my findings to the original ticket if that helps.

I’m not sure if you’ve already found a proper solution for the thermal profile spam issue, but I accidentally came across a workaround today. After a lot of testing, it’s been working 100% consistently for me. The important part is that this mod has to be the second-to-last mod in the load order. The last mod can be anything. I also tried fixing it with different thermal profiles, but I couldn’t get those to work. For some reason, this setup does. If you want, give it a try and let me know if it works for you too. https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/6A2D225741ADFDB4-ThermalProfileFix

This mod worked well. The numerous errors have almost completely disappeared, and the server now starts up right away. Thank you.

The mod doesnt work for me, i did what the instructions said but it doesnt change anything, theres like aprox 270223 lines of errors in the log that my server outputted. i use proxmox for hosting my arma server with the mods Freedom Fighters, Thermal Profile Fix, Enfusion Database Framework, Enfusion Persistence Framework

I tested your exact setup and it works for me. The issue is the load order — Thermal Profile Fix needs to be the second-to-last mod, with exactly one mod after it.

So with your mods, try:

{

"modId": "5D6EA74A94173EDF",

"name": "Enfusion Database Framework",

"version": "0.6.10"

},

{

"modId": "5D6EBC81EB1842EF",

"name": "Enfusion Persistence Framework",

"version": "0.6.18"

},

{

"modId": "6A2D225741ADFDB4",

"name": "Thermal Profile Fix",

"version": "1.0.1"

},

{

"modId": "CAFEBEEFF0CACC1A",

"name": "Freedom Fighters",

"version": "0.70.0"

}

Then do a full server restart and check a fresh log.

thx so much! The errors are gone but my game is still crashing sadly, looking at the log its unrelated to the thermal profile fix mod so i will try and fix that myself
