[In DX11] CTD on game launch after reboot; And a seemingly reliable fix. #51

After getting SCT to work within DX11 again a few days ago, it Crashed the game To Desktop a reboot later. Same yesterday, but I noticed that deleting specific files, then launching the game over UOAOM would fix that. Today, after redoing the honors, I tried if the fix is reliable and it seems like it is after 3 tries.

To Reproduce

  1. Use UOAOM to install arcDPS, arcBuildPad, arcHealingStats, and arcBoonTable. Do NOT use UOAOM for SCT!
  2. Install SCT 2.0 RC3 MANUALLY.
  3. Get the setup working, then reboot the computer.
  4. In my case, the setup will now CTD shortly after loading the game coursor on a white screen.
  5. If that's the case: Delete "addonLoader.dll", "d3d11.dll", "dxgi.dll" from the "GuildWars2" folder. (Exact files are attached in the .zip)
  6. Launch the game using UOAOM, automatically generating new versions of the deleted dlls. (Do NOT let UOAOM update SCT, it will use an outdated version which seems to lead to a bunch of different problems.)
  7. The game should now run fine with addons enabled.

Additional context I don't know which exact dll causes the issue, it might be all 3 of them. This type of crash exclusively happens when SCT is installed, which is why I'm posting it here.

don't forget to attach the config file to the issue config and dlls
