 Description   

When running multiple BDS server instances (`bedrock_server.exe`) it causes a bug and displays "NO LOG FILE! -" before every line.

I'm guessing this issue occurs when BDS tries to interact with the content log location. Since another bds instance is running it causes the write permissions of the second server to be denied causing the second server to not be able to use the log file and end up crashing the server.

The Log file location I have found is here: `C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\logs`, however `Admininstor` will change based on your computer.

Steps to Reproduce:
1: Install BDS server files twice
2: Run one of them using `bedrock_server.exe`
3: Now run the second one after the first one starts up.
4: Now you should be seeing "NO LOG FILE! -" before every line.
5: The server works fine for a bit but it ends up crashing because it can't save its logs.

They are on diffrent ports, also I donโ€™t know what you mean by far enough apart. One is hosted on 19132, and one is on 19134, is that not far enough?

Ensure you are using two different port numbers far enough apart. Make sure both of those ports are port forwarded through your router.ย  If they are using the same port number, They will have a conflict.ย

Yes and itโ€™s been happening for a while, Iโ€™m pretty sure there has been a open problem for 5 years and still not fixed.
