Possible issues with update
We just updated the server and having problems.

Getting random "Session Lost" problems now after update 30 seconds in.

While I'm trying to make sure it's not us and point the finger, I did see these errors in the logs:

- In Vehicle: melb\melb.p3d missing gunner get in direction point

- unable to create weapon for missile 'Pylon_HellfireLauncher_MELB', check config entry'pylonWeapon'

UPDATE:

Think I found the issue! Its related to the above error "...unable to create weapon for missile.."

Displays 2 of the same errors before "session lost".

Also seeing a long string of these which is new as well in our RPT's, but doesn't happen with the crash:

a3\structures_f_heli\vr\helpers\sign_sphere25cm_f.p3d: No geometry and no visual shape

Before we didn't have problems with people dropping out all of a sudden until now and it immediately started after the update. Granted people had BattlEye client issues but we never would get "Session Lost" problems and drop out in a matter of 20-30 seconds.

We've had no issues with the mod in adding it before and very much enjoyed it. Wanted you to know our findings as soon as possible.

I'll supply more info as we find it.

Will test it on our Dedicated server as well and see if we can replicate these errors. I will test with just ACE and CBA as well so we can get a proper baseline.

Thanks for the well detailed post @NutzMcKracken.. we're looking into it!

Also thanks to @Nichols for taking the time to test it on his end as well :D

Uploaded a video taken while working on the test server mission. It is taken while working in the editor and it may help with some possible issues.

Thanks for the video, Nichols. The overlap thing is known and shouldn't cause performance issues or break servers. Currently there's no way to restrict loadout selection to avoid this if we want the ability to have multiple warheads in a single rocket pod. So it's up to mission makers to make sure that they're using realistic loadouts.

No problem just didn't see it listed anywhere in the update log and thought it might be a cause for some of the problem.

Hey not a problem! Let me know where I can help. Have experience with mod Dev from A1 and A2, so I understand it can be tough to track these down. I also understand Exile can be a totally different animal, especially when you use protections like Infistar.

Just ran the test mission and it worked like it was supposed to EXCEPT for the pylon not working correctly. I posted a bug report to the google doc link in your BI forums post but thought I should at least reply here as well.

Just to update I finally got around to running my test mission on my own dedicated box. I am attaching a link to an image along with my local RPT. The top most drop down menu in the pylon selection screen keeps the items from being utilized when selected in the attributes screen in the editor once you load the mission and go live. Was unable to select the illumination rounds as I was flying the attack bird variant.

Update, disregard the following, I'm seeing this in a server I'm cleaning up and not related:

a3\structures_f_heli\vr\helpers\sign_sphere25cm_f.p3d: No geometry and no visual shape

Did you guys test it with signature addons check activated ?
=> verifySignatures = 2;

Because I seem to have a problem with the update and the signature not being correct also having 2 keys in the keys folder.

I probably only did it with the setting at 1.

Also I only tested it with ACE and CBA as additional mods. It worked perfectly fine with those 2 mods.

verifySignatures = 1 is outdated in A3. But okay i'll check more but i think there is a problem with the signature either the bisign or the biker

I run "2" on the Exile and WARFARE server and it was kicking instantly.

I was wondering since there's 2 keys were necessary. Seems if you added that other key on the server it would allow the older version.

I tried removing the deprecated key "sykoCrazyDiesel.bikey" from the server and client side yet complains about missing signature. Inversely setup server as a constant again with both keys on server and client, and in addition, additional "syko/Diesel" key not present on server but on client, still problems verifying signature in the logs on my Warfare test server.

My thought is this from days of making a mod in A2 that if the bisign is missing and the key is resident, this maybe the issue

On the Exile server its just boot and getting Session Lots errors.

I'm thinking Signature might be the ticket and an easy fix by syko'.

We typically run a server with nothing but guys doing persistent milsim missions...No Exile stuff at all and we don't have problems with the 1 setting for our server.

Warfare is not using Exile mod or a persistent battlefield (even though the single match feels like one, lol), it's a standard mission and can choose to use mods if you want. The fact it worked before and the fact we run verify signatures ("2") on both servers really seems to point to the root of the problem. We need this to make people 1) run the right version, 2)disallow hacked data, 3) better ranking on some ranking databases and A3 Launcher (been told).
