Steam Discussions — "Server crashes every time a warband stops attacking" ↗

A RuneScape: Dragonwilds dedicated server freezes (CPU drops to 0%, the log just stops) or shuts down with "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000030" on a repeating schedule, from about every 10 to 20 minutes to about every 2 hours, starting around the 1.0.1 update on October 14, 2026.

Also appears as: dragonwilds dedicated server crashing, dragonwilds dedicated server crash, dragonwilds server keeps crashing, dragonwilds server freezes, dragonwilds server crash after update, dragonwilds server crash 1.0.1, dragonwilds server crashes when warband stops attacking, dragonwilds EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION, dragonwilds server EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000030, Multicast_StopCurrentAIAction called from actor, RSDragonwildsServer-Win64-Shipping.exe crash, dragonwilds server cpu 0% freeze, dragonwilds vengeance crashes server, dragonwilds shortbow crashes server

This looks like a bug in the game or server build that arrived with the 1.0.1 update (October 14, 2026), not something wrong with your host or settings. Jagex has not replied in any of the threads we found, so there is no confirmed fix.

Three separate Steam Discussions posters describe it (a fourth thread is a single line), and a matching post appears on r/RSDragonwilds. One poster's log ends on the crash line above, directly after a warning that a goblin was "being destroyed" mid-action. One poster says a crash destroyed the save file, so keep backups.

Players suspect specific triggers (the new Shortbow special, the Vengeance spell). Those are unconfirmed guesses, and at least one poster disagrees.

What to try

  1. 01

    Avoid the new Shortbow special attack on the server (one report)

    One player (the original poster of "New update broke dedicated server") says the server's last log line before every crash was them using the new Shortbow attack that fires and hops back with each shot, and that switching to the crossbow kept the server stable "so far". Their server also runs a mod (Event Tuner). Counter-view: a second host in the same thread replies "I think its something other than just shortbow", and the warband-crash poster does not mention a bow at all. Treat this as a player guess, not a diagnosis.

  2. 02

    Avoid the Vengeance spell on the server (one report, no detail)

    A one-line thread titled "vengance crashes servers" says "veng spell crashes servers". It has no replies, no log and no second report, so it is a single unconfirmed claim.

    Unconfirmed
  3. 03

    Back up the server's Savegames folder before it crashes again

    The original poster of "New update broke dedicated server" says the crashes destroyed their save file and that they were saved by "a rolling 5 min backup". Jagex's own dedicated server guide says to stop the server and copy the files in RSDragonwilds/Saved/Savegames to a safe place (the server drive, your own drive or the cloud). If your host or setup keeps rolling backups, check they are running.

    No confirmed fix yet for the dedicated server crash

    No confirmed fix yet; this page will be updated. We found no Jagex reply in any of the four Steam threads, and the 1.0.1 patch notes do not mention a server crash. Reporters who tried the obvious things saw no change: one updated both the game and SteamCMD to the current version and still got about 20 minutes of play before a freeze or crash, and the self-hosted poster says restarting the server did not help.

    Unconfirmed
  5. 05

    Report it with your log line (nobody at Jagex has replied yet)

    Jagex has not acknowledged this in the threads we read. The places players report bugs are the Steam Discussions for the game and the bug-report channels of the official Discord (discord.gg/rsdragonwilds). Include the last lines of your server log, your player count and whether you run mods. Check the Jagex news page for the next patch notes; the 1.0.1 notes (October 14, 2026) do not mention this crash.

    Unconfirmed
