Common Crash Signature

Every occurrence reports:

ENGINE (F): Crashed

Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 01B52209

Allocator: system

graphics: No

Behaviour / Timeline

There appears to be a clear transition in behaviour.

The first six server instances were able to run for approximately the normal scheduled restart interval before the C0000005 occurred.

After the crash at approximately 05:12 on 24 October, the behaviour changed.

The server started at approximately 05:14:52 and crashed at 05:22:36.

From the 05:25:27 startup onward, the server entered a repeated startup crash loop. Most subsequent instances terminated approximately 50–55 seconds after startup.

The exception remained identical throughout both behaviours:

C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 01B52209

Persistence Errors Observed

During the affected period, CE also reported failures reading several persistence generations:

storage_20026027\data\dynamic_009.001

storage_20026027\data\dynamic_009.002

storage_20026027\data\building_003.002

Example:

!!! [CE][Storage] Failed to read [Storage] data file "...storage_20026027\data\dynamic_009.001".

However, subsequent RPT output shows CE successfully restoring alternative generations of the affected persistence stores, so it is currently unknown whether these storage errors are a cause, consequence, or unrelated symptom of the crashes.

Additional Observation

During the later startup crash loop, CE progresses through persistence restoration and event/spawner initialization.

Repeated affected startups reach:

[31] VehicleSedan02

[32] VehicleTruck01

[CE][Hive] :: Initializing of spawners done.

The process then terminates with:

ENGINE (F): Crashed

Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 01B52209

No Enforce Script call stack identifying the source of the native access violation is provided.

Additional Script Errors

The logs also contain repeated EffectAreaLoader CreateZones warnings:

[WARNING] :: [EffectAreaLoader CreateZones] :: Cast failed, are you sure your class ( 'Type:' ) inherits from EffectArea and that there are no Typos?

Stack:

scripts/1_Core/proto/endebug.c:92 Function Error

scripts/4_World/classes/contaminatedarea/contaminatedarealoader.c:102 Function CreateZones

scripts/5_Mission/mission/missionserver.c:104 Function OnMissionStart

These errors are included for completeness; I have not established that they are responsible for the native C0000005 crash.

Platform / Mission

Platform: PlayStation / PS4 server executable

Executable shown in logs: DayZServer_PS4_x64

Mission: dayzOffline.nasdara

I can provide the complete RPT set covering all 27 crashes, associated script logs, current dayzOffline.nasdara mission files, and persistence/error diagnostics if required.
