[BUG] Crashes Randomly on Splash Screen | Device-Environment Specific

[kiyokodyele]

Describe the bug
When not opened for a long time (1 week+) then open it thereafter, it will just show only the splash screen not the main window. Probably post piracy detection planted? But if you will install a new version or re-extract the same version, it will work. I noticed this starting from version 7.0.0

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Just not use the FE for a long time like (2 weeks maybe?)
2. Then run FE, (will only show splash screen then auto-closes)

Expected behavior
FE will run normally

Additional context
I even tried to restart my PC and still doesn't work.
Also, same thing happens both my pc and laptop.

Not sure, but maybe some software (ex: firewall software) blocking the msojocs server automatically?
The msojocs-server should work once allowed through firewall. 🤔

I will try disabling the firewall when it happens again to confirm.

It's not the Firewall. I disabled mine on my laptop while the bug still exists.

Hmm... Several users have reported similar issues on this automaton repo and on msojocs' fiddler-everywhere-enhance.
I’ve got no idea what’s going on since I’ve never been able to reproduce the issue, and around 1000 others use it without problems. So, we’ll need to investigate further.

Have you tried:

1. Changing msojocs server port?
2. Checking if this happens when you patch manually too? (If so, you might want to report it on the fiddler-everywhere-enhance repo as well.)
3. Do you suspect anything you did on your system before installing FE 7.0.0?

You should check the logs as well - having them here would be helpful. You’ll likely see the msojocs server startup fail when you start FE from the terminal. You can access the logs in %APPDATA%\Fiddler Everywhere\Logs
