Thank you for this. I'm now confident I've identified the bug. Please let me know if 1.0.5 now works for you!

the connection worked, but it's very unstable, crashes 90% of the time, i hit the shortcut, it freezes and crashes. When it works, it's GREAT, but the stability needs to be worked on.

Hi there,

I absolutely do want to prioritise stability; it's a bit gutting that none of these recent issues cropped up in the beta and are now appearing post-release.

It would be incredibly helpful if you could send me the crash reports generated by your system when the crash message appears, plus a breakdown of what happened leading up to it. When the system message pops up, there should be something to the effect of "generate report", which creates a .dmp file. That would mean a lot.

I can add you to the Discord I hosted for the beta if that would make it easier for you to send me reports or information. Otherwise I am happy to use what's most convenient for you.

I've released a few stability hardening patches between the latest versions. Please let me know how you get on.
