Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Reproduce the case by launching OpenRCT2, keeping the launcher open, and then triggering a game crash; trace how the launcher detects the game process and reports launch failure, and verify that a post-launch crash is reported distinctly from an unsuccessful launch.
