Hi and thank you for the report.

I'm assuming "preferences" in this case means "filter servers" section of the server browser.
Tried to reproduce this by causing network disconnection, but couldn't.

Would like to have more info on where you clicked that caused this

It's the 'Favorites' tab. kicked to 'All Servers' tab - click 'Favorites' - sometimes crash
It doesn't happen to me consistently either, so maybe don't bother trying to reproduce it. Is there anything I can do to collect information when the game crashes with no crash report, after the crash or when I anticipate a crash?

Since it just happened again:

This button in the middle.

I tried myself to reproduce this and was unsucessful.

If a crash report isn't generating it could be some kind of game freeze instead of a crash (some code looping infinitely) unless the game window is disappearing on its own (which would be a strange, different indication) but that still isn't enough for us to go on until we have some kind of hint on whats going on / similar situation.

Maybe detailing any information you know could help, such as was the disconnect from the server due to the internet connection, the server side, the type of disconnection though this shouldn't matter I think, if you have any favorites saved and what your current server filters are set to at the time etc as potentially anything could help. Mods used (that maybe change the filters like language packs or something?) or any custom filters defined too if you have any.

“game window is disappearing on its own”
Exactly the case. Click - the game freezes for a few seconds - the window disappears (before Windows finds that it is "not responding").
This is a separate issue for me: the same (window disappeared on its own without a crash report) has happened multiple times when my game crashed in other situations. Actually, more often than not when my game crashed.
(See #16820 - no report were produced on my machine, although someone else was able to reproduce the crash with a report)

As for this specific crash, it does not happen consistently on my machine either. This is the reason why I asked what I can do when I next meet / expect such a crash.
It always happened after disconnection due to internet reason (after I got kicked from the game session to the "ALL SERVERS" tab).
It happened across different (at least 3) servers, all of which were saved in my Favorites. (Just an observation - I did not test otherwise)
I did not set any filter, so all servers should be visible.
I always use the LuaCs mod, so this (and the other issue above) could be a problem with the LuaCs build. The servers were also all LuaCs servers.
