[INFORMATION] PROFILENAME.vars.Arma3Profile desyncs the server

[infiSTAR 1293]

Apparently having a big  "PROFILENAME.vars.Arma3Profile" on your server, causes desync up to massive desync (looking like other people are teleporting when they drive a vehicle..).
If you know where to find that file on your server, just remove it. (Write a bat to do it before each restart?) somewhat like

del /Q /F "PROFILENAME.vars.Arma3Profile"

It's hard to pin down exact comparisons with something like this as the situations on the server are never the same even with the same player counts.

How big is "big"?  Mine is only 2Kb.

MGT Dave and I were wondering why one of his servers had desync especially when seeing other people drive/fly vehicles and they all run on the same machine with same settings.

We even put the other servers down so it's only that one running and desync was still happening. Then he saw that his profilenamespace vars was somewhat like 8MB or so. Removed it and server just runs perfectly fine

More importantly we want to know what was in the profilenamespace that it took up 8MB
