Bug Description:

Conan Exiles dedicated server is spamming the Windows logs


Bug Reproduction:

Simple, just run a dedicated server and check the Windows event viewer (I’m using the Dedicated Server Launcher from those forums here). It will look like this:

Potential performance impact (probably not a thing on modern computers though) but mostly it’s just insane pollution for those of us who need to use the Windows logs. Those logs have a size limit (default of 20mb), and it’s getting filled up entirely by the Conan dedicated server program really quickly, completely hiding everything else.

Why on Earth is a video game program throwing warning and errors messages directly into Windows logs?

This happens even with a vanilla install.
