So I've never once had a issue with the bot crashing when trying to do anything.  This morning I noticed my PC restarted and auto-installed a new windows update.  Launched the game as normal, launched the bot, went to attach and it crashed the game.  No errors, no nothing.  Try the usual restarts and troubleshooting and nothing works, it does it every time.  Rolled back the update  [2018-01 Security Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB4056894)] and rebooted, then it works now just fine.  

For FYI here is the launcher info from before update, after update, and after rollback (I've removed the Key info/Account info)

Here is where it would just crash the game client, the bot would still be running but would have a greyed-out stop button...

Like I said everything is working just fine now, but if there is anything else anyone wants to see let me know and I can send it over. 
Cheers!

Reporting same issue as the OP and same solution.

[Pushead79]

i had the same problem with Win 7. Get to previous state. The bot start working again til yesterday when my computer decide to install the window update again.

[Vividos1]

It seems the Update changed some things with security for Windows 7 SP1 users (I'm also running windows 7 64bit).

More info about the update can be found here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help...-kb4056894

I disabled automatic updates so i'm choosing to install just the ones I want bypassing this for for the time being until a different workaround or fix can be found.
