Crash on Startup (Windows 7)

[MiraakThuri]

Hey, so i just updated from 0.31 (the W7 special version) to 0.4
And now all my games wich were working fine before crash on startup
(AOE1, AVP2, RealMyst)

Tried without custom settings and with custom settings, same result
(i tried to change DisplayResolution=app
DpiAwareness=app
FullscreenMode=exclusive)

DDrawCompat-lithtech.log
here is the log file from avp2, dunno if it might help u

[narzoul]

Please change the LogLevel setting to debug and upload the log with that. Thanks!

DDrawCompat-lithtech.log
Here it is with debug mode

[narzoul]

Ok, I think I found the culprit. Please try this test version:
ddraw.zip (diff.txt compared to v0.4.0)

[MiraakThuri]

Ok, so RealMyst is working now but AOE1 and AVP2 are still crashing, but not at the same time
before it would crash instantly, now the screen turn black 1 sec, like the game would start normally, then it crash
DDrawCompat-lithtech.log

(also tried without my custom settings, same result)

Hmm, it seems to crash in SetCursor, but I'm not sure what could crash there. Could you please collect a crash dump also? I have some instructions here: #50 (comment)
Please also attach the new debug logs again with the crash dump.

[MiraakThuri]

Here you go
lithtech.exe.7128.dmp.zip
DDrawCompat-lithtech.log

Thanks! Unfortunately, the crash dump seems to get created after the original exception, so I still don't see what exactly is causing it. But at least I noticed an extra dinput.dll in your game directory. Where is that from? It might be installing some hooks that interferes with DDrawCompat. Can you try running the game without it?

[MiraakThuri]

It's a wrapper to convert dinput to dinput8 (that game has some mouse issues) but i still get the crash without it
And AOE1 don't have any additional wrappers, ill send you the log and dump from that game this time, maybe it will give better infos
DDrawCompat-Empires.log
Empires.exe.6056.dmp.zip

[narzoul]

It looks the same. I found the issue anyway. The GetCursor function has an early call instruction with relative addressing on Windows 7, which wasn't patched up when moving it to the trampoline during hooking. This should fix it:
ddraw.zip (diff.txt compared to v0.4.0)

[MiraakThuri]

Yes it working just fine now
Thx for your time on this

[narzoul]

Great, thanks for the reports! I'll add the fixes to the next release.

Win 7 startup crashes have been fixed in v0.5.0.
