running a dedicated server on a Windows 11 machine on a home network. Server runs well for a while and then crashes with no warning and no error code. Log file shows a list of errors all simply saying unknown function:

[2026.04.28-09.19.12:157][683]LogOutputDevice: Error: [Callstack] 0x00007ff6bb3d994e WindroseServer-Win64-Shipping.exe!UnknownFunction []

[2026.04.28-09.19.12:157][683]LogOutputDevice: Error:

Just before that it shows: Slow task. Task was finished in 928 ms. Commit transaction

The database is struggling to commit a save taking nearly a second for what should be instant. That suggests the RocksDB database is getting bloated over time.

also:
Physics material from hit result not found in the params

This fires every time a projectile hits something and can't find the right physics material. It's repeating over and over.

Are you watching Server FPS? That is different then Client FPS. I can say with games like Dayz if the server FPS gets low enough the server shuts down. Many server owners have issues over there like that because they add mods that cripple the server. Little different here but Maybe the same issue. Not sure though how to check server FPS with this game, I have not set up a server yet.

mine does this on occasion, not that this is a fix but as a work around i created a watchdog service that checks to see if the server is still running, if its not it starts it, if its already running it just waits for its next check. Happy to share it if it helps in the short term

#1491867519395299508 also has some software created by the community for this sort of thing too. Perhaps Scotty you could share there. I get helping others I try to do that myself usually just connecting people to information while learning from those of you that know more.

Can you share your entire log file? That crash stack is missing details.

I have something similar set up in my batch files, and task scheduler. Task scheduler restarts server every day at noon using a batch file that terminates the server waits 15 seconds, and then restarts, checks for updates, validates files and then starts server, and if it crashes it restarts after 15 seconds. At least I can get it back up and running quickly. Just trying to identify the crash reason.

I was having similar issues and then switched to IP direct and the server has been extremely stable since then.
