WindowsGSM crashes without error, cannot recover servers on restart.

[crich10]

As the title says, WindowsGSM will crash/disappear without error or crash logs. We've had this problem for a couple months where we would sign back into our server and the GUI would be gone, but I finally witnessed it first hand today. Our game servers are still running, even though WindowsGSM is not.

If we restart WindowsGSM, it cannot recover the servers and thus cannot send commands to any of them without rebooting the game servers first.

There are 0 errors in logs or Windows Event Viewer.

Thanks for the report, please next sure you had installed .net framework 4.7.2, https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/net472, if it doesn't installed, WindowsGSM will crash without reason.

You didn't state what version you are using, I believe you are using the latest version of WindowsGSM (1.21.1). WindowsGSM had a cache function that if WindowsGSM GUI disappeared, the server will be still running and server data will be cached and when you reopen the WindowsGSM, the servers should be linked to WindowGSM again and the state will be restored.

Also, it is suggested to turn Embed Console off, so if WindowsGSM crashed, you can interact with servers again.

We are currently running 1.12.1, with 4.7.2 installed.

If we do not embed the console in WindowsGSM, how is it possible to interact with the servers/enter commands?
