Resolved Launching server with Custom Maps and Admin Panel - Sample Config Doesn't Work

[Acorn]

Summary:
I'm attempting to launch a server on my Windows PC that has custom maps and the new Admin Panel.

I used the add_map_to_usable_maps option on the server config with the vanilla maps, this worked but then the server would fail to launch when adding custom maps to the same config in the same fashion that the Vanilla maps were added (yes I only added them into the Multiplayer folder (SceneObj), I reverted the config file I was using and then the server wouldn't even launch, bringing up the "Disconnected from Custom Battle Server Manager" error.

I eventually gave up and completely uninstalled and reinstalled the server, I ran the unedited sample config called ds_config_sample_skirmish_long_warmup_w_admin_panel. I still get the "Disconnected from Custom Battle Server Manager" error and the server fails to launch... The standard ds_config_sample_battle works fine but that doesn't achieve what I'm after which is a server running with custom maps and a working Admin Panel.

I also updated and changed my Auth Token, this made no difference but it's clearly not the issue as the standard sample battle config file works and launches.

Does anyone happen to have a config file setup that works for them and gets the Admin panel going?

How to Reproduce:
Install Bannerlord Dedicated Server v1.2.7 and run the sample config ds_config_sample_skirmish_long_warmup_w_admin_panel using the startup command.

Startup Command:
.\DedicatedCustomServer.Starter.exe /port 7216 /dedicatedcustomserverconfigfile ds_config_sample_skirmish_long_warmup_w_admin_panel.txt /dedicatedcustomserverauthtoken [token] _MODULES_*Native*Multiplayer*_MODULES_

Update for the above:
I've done some more tinkering and found that the config works when enable_automated_battle_switching is removed from the list. This is a bit of a hassle as that command is required for the Admin Panel to work. Through my testing, I've had my game crash whenever I select the Admin Panel if it's not set up exactly how the documentation says here: https://moddocs.bannerlord.com/multiplayer/hosting_server/#:~:text=Please note that if,on the Admin Panel (including enable_automated_battle_switching).

Update for the situation: I noticed a 200MB update occurred for my game client, prompting me to test again. I launched the server using the config below and can confirm it launched allowing me to connect accessing the admin panel.

I will note that this is still an issue ^. If the config isn't set up exactly as mentioned here: https://moddocs.bannerlord.com/multiplayer/hosting_server/#:~:text=Please note that if,on the Admin Panel then the game crashes right when you click on Admin Panel.
