Issue description

Hi, I wanted to use this app once again as I reinstalled my Windows but whenever I open OBSNotifier.exe v1.3.2, the app silently crashes in the background without any prompt or any helpful logs.

[11/16/2024 19:26:10]   // Time format - MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss

As I've used this in the past on my previous Windows installation without any issue, I tried to open older version 1.3.0 but the result was the same although, this time I saw something in the error logs. I'm not sure if this is related.

Logs:

Steps to reproduce

1. Open OBSNotifier.exe > App silently crashes in background

[NightMean]

I've now also checked EventViewer and upon opening 1.3.2, the event viewer shows the same log I've shared for 1.3.0 above although the log in %APPDATA%/OBSNotifier/logs is empty.

Based on these logs I will assume that your language is not added to the list of supported localizations.

I'll fix that soon.

[DmitriySalnikov]

Can you check this build?

[NightMean]

My program is actually targeting 4.7.2.

Yeah, I noticed. Although having a newer minor version shouldn't be a problem.

Based on these logs I will assume that your language is not added to the list of supported localizations.

Also, yes. I didn't submit any translation yet :) Although, I thought that might be an issue, when I switched my Windows to English as a primary language, the app still didn't open without this fix.

Can you check this build?

You are awesome! :) Now it starts without any issue. Thanks for the quick fix!

[DmitriySalnikov]

Now it starts without any issue.

I hope the program restarts and the language changes without problems too? If so, I will prepare and release this version.

[NightMean]

Yes it does, already tried to auto start it along OBS. No issues here :)
