Crash fix: server start killed the app on some machines

Fixes the crash-loop reported in the issue tracker: on some machines, the moment the Valheim server printed its first line of output, BakaLoader died — and because the server auto-starts on launch, the app then crashed instantly on every restart.

Root cause

Server console output arrives on a background thread. The internal PostJson bridge checked WebView.CoreWebView2 for null before marshaling to the UI thread — and WebView2 forbids touching CoreWebView2 from any other thread. On many machines the cross-thread COM call happens to survive; on others it fails with E_NOINTERFACE → unhandled exception → process terminated. That's the "CoreWebView2 can only be accessed from the UI thread" error visible in Event Viewer.

The fix

  • PostJson now marshals to the UI thread first and only dereferences the WebView there.
  • Guards for window teardown races, and the UI-side post can never take the process down (and can never recurse through the logger).

If you were stuck in the crash loop: just replace your install with this version and launch — your saved profile will be picked up and the server will start normally.
