CasparCG Server Unexpected Process Closure During Media Playback

The symptom is confirmed when the casparcg.exe process terminates abruptly without warning at the precise moment a PLAY or LOAD command is executed via the client or AMCP interface. To verify this, monitor the Windows Event Viewer under Windows Logs > Application for critical errors associated with casparcg.exe. If the application logs in the server folder remain empty or truncated at the time of the crash, the failure is occurring at the system or driver interface level rather than within the application's internal logic.
