FAF client opens 100+ times, nearly crashes PC

Postby Mattes » 23 Nov 2018, 01:33

I have _no_ idea what happened here. I was away for a moment and when i logged back into my PC, for some reason, while FAF was running in the background, my PC just nearly stopped responding. When I opened the Taskmanager, I saw that more than 100 separate instances of FAF were open, leaving my CPU running at 100%.
I do not know why or how this happened, but I got autobanned for a fraudulent login attempt, so thought its best to come here, maybe you guys have an idea.

make sure the windows service called Windows Management Instrumentation is running when you try to log in - if you don't then you may get autobanned

Thanks, so it IS winmgmt. I was unsure since my system is in german.
Side note: You have to go to your local services to actually restart it, restarting it in the Taskmanager does nothing.

Edit: I will leave this topic open, in case this bug happens again.
