Hello @ER-95 Can you check this issue to see if this service is working properly?

https://github.com/andsfonseca/dota2-rpc-client/issues/48

Search for dota2rpc and check if the service is started.

Check also if any errors appear when you use the direct command line:

dota2-rpc-client.exe -f

btw, https://github.com/andsfonseca/dota2-rpc-client/issues/58 we are investigating an issue related to discord threads, maybe can be related

but I can only be sure after you confirm it.

@andsfonseca The service starts fine (and stays running) if I start it manually from services.msc, but it doesn't automatically run.

I don't have a computer at the moment, but if you access services.msc and search for dota2rpc. In the context menu you have the properties options. Could you check which startup type is defined?

[ER-95]

@andsfonseca It shows as "Automatic" - full screenshots below:

It is set to automatic which is correct. I believe that when initializing it is giving an error, similar to #58. I'll investigate.

Okay, also I'll try to find a way to see the error log from the services in the next update, thanks for reporting.

I'm trying to refactor the application threads so that these errors don't close the program immediately. I believe this solves or helps us to find the problem that is happening to you
