When Scheduled Auto Restart Runs, allowed more time for Saveworld to execute to ensure world is saved before exiting the program. After sending SaveWorld Command, Automatic shutdown will then send RCON Command DoExit to ensure server shuts down gracefully. When shutting down server manually, if RCON is connected it will send command DoExit instead of terminating server to ensure it shuts down gracefully. RCON Connection Delay, to ensure that servers connect to Server Managers RCON, The RCON will try to connect to server every 30 seconds for 20 retries. Fixed issue where loading the server tabs could potentially make the Install Server button show. Added additional checks when loading servers etc to ensure that Immediate_update flag does not get duplicated. Adjusted Server Auto Server Startup after scheduled update/restart to ensure all servers start sequentially. If scheduled more than 1 server when starting application will start 60 seconds apart to ensure no blocking and smooth server startups (up from 15 seconds). Fixed issue where when scheduling server restarts and updates only 1 server would start. Fixed Issue with INI Backups not reading correctly. Fixed issue where some settings in the INI files could get duplicated, Manager will now delete duplicate lines that are not specified. Fixed issue where update timer when server is online would disappear and reappear every 10 seconds. Fixed issue where Server Managers RCON would fail to connect on Windows Server 2019. Changed Save Settings Icon to a button to make it more user-friendly. Updated the message that the Save Settings button shows after saving. All Warnings and Errors are now logged to a file called debug.log which can be used to find errors and assist with debugging. Fixed issue where RCON could potentially try to connect to a server for a second time causing blocking/hanging. Fixed Issue where the Server Auto Start / Server Starting during maintenance etc now starts timers etc. Adjusted the sizing of the content for settings so it changes with the size of the screen. Moved Maintenance tab to the end of server settings tab. Reduced the number of checks on the server running checks, these are now cached for 2 minutes and then rechecked. This will help in reducing the overall usage of the CPU and Memory when running a heap of servers. When shutting down server it will now ask user if they wish to send shutdown messages to the server. User can specify minutes before shutdown, Manager will send these messages until the time of shutdown, and then proceed with saveworld and doexit. On Application Start, Auto Start on Crash will stagger checks for any server that has Auto Restart on Server Crash enabled. Can take up to from a minute to 5 minutes depending on the number of servers in use. Fixed a bug where the player count was not updating due to a previous update. Ascended Server Manager Process Priority will now default to low to ensure that all resources are utilized by the servers themselves and to account for high CPU Usage. Tons of Optimizations done throughout the code to ensure that the server manager does not use a High CPU Load (More Testing and Changes Possibly Required). Fixed issue where Cluster settings would not save causing cluster management issues. V0.2.3.3 Removed Filepath Updating for versions prior to V0.2.3.0 (as all existing users prior should be up and running now). Made Adjustments to ASA API Toggle should now read config.ini and set checkbox to true/false as required. Uploading of INI will now ensure that Duplicate Lines are not removed retaining all RAW configs in the imported INI File. Fixed an issue with ConfigOverrideItemMaxQuantity where when importing an INI it would have errors and Application would fail to load. Server Shutdown has been rebuilt to ensure that the RCON is connected and SaveWorld command is sent to the server before shutdown. Server Shutdown button will now notify the user if the RCON is not connected and warn them SaveWorld command will not be sent. Added Feature where when starting a server it will create backups for GUS.ini and Game.ini in a folder called backups within the server folder. Feature will automatically delete files older than 10 days old.

Adjustments to handling any errors/reconnection on RCON Connection dropout for RCON Manager and Server Manager. Made the Console logging and Chat etc. show as a table for easy viewing. Ensured that the Sending Server Messages pre-populates with serverchat unless specified otherwise (broadcast does not work (wildcard issue)). File Directory Path now allows for users to use Capitals and Some Special Characters: Full list: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789_-. Fixed Issue where duplicates were not allowed in the GameUserSettings.ini all duplicates will now work in the GameUserSettings.ini. If Values in Game.ini or GameUserConfig.ini are outside the range of a 32-bit integer (-2147483648 to 2147483647) the program will auto correct them. Fixed RCON so that there are no disconnections, if a disconnection is detected it will reconnect immediately. Adjustments made to the RCON Scheduler ensure that multiple commands scheduled at the same time are queued and executed one at a time, preventing connection drops. If RCON detects that Banlist.txt or Nochecklist.txt does not exist it will create it and not show any errors saying it does not exist. Fixed issue where an extra folder would be created in the Server folder named the same as the Server Name.
