worldserver.exe crashing on "Initialize query data..."

[ayoub-khemissi]

Hello,

At random times, when starting worldserver.exe, it crashes at "Initialize query data...". I have to retry for 10+ times to sometimes make it work and start correctly.

Here's a screenshot of the debug session with visual studio community:

We can see in the top right corner the CPU usage is increasing insanely to 100% before the crash, also something seems to be related to memory according to the autosetted breakpoint so here's my setup:

OS: Win10 professionnal x 64
Motherboard: B450 GAMING PLUS MAX (MS-7B86)
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor, 3600 MHz, 6 core(s), 12 logical(s) processor(s)
RAM: 16gb 3200MHz

I've noticed this problem occured when I switched to locale frFR DBCs but I'm not really sure about this correlation.

Also, nothing appears in the Crashes folder, nore in the Server.log file.
Also I can start a 3.3.5a server without facing this problem.

Do you have any tip to fix that?

Looks like your process is running out of memory? Does this occur in release mode too? I don't know much about visual studio debugging but it looks like it's allocated only 2GB
Also, is there something in your config that causes a lot of memory to load? (instances/maps/etc.?)

Hi, thank you for you answer @Snify89.

Do you have any idea of how to allocate more than 2GB? I was wondering if it was wether the cause or not. I didn't modified things verily related to processors or memory in the worldserver.conf only xp rates, server type pvp and things like that.

If processes run out of memory they should raise an out of memory exception which I can not see here.
Call stack is related to the boost library. Maybe the wrong version? Not really sure tho without further information about the crash (exception)
I haven't found anything about visual studio memory limit for debugging. It is just odd, that the graph only goes up to 2GB

Maybe the community edition has (such) limits?

Starting the worldserver.exe on release mode without visual studio causes the crash too.

I'm using boost 1.73.0.

Hello,

I've found no real answer to that but the problem disappeared itself after rebooting my pc. I think it has something to do with memory or cpu usage but nothing sure.

This can be closed.
