Injector crashes on Windows 7

[TirOFlanc]

Hi,

I have an issue with the lastest release, i put the screenshot in attach file, tell if you need more informations.

I don't have use command line, just the soft UI.

Have a nice day.

What happens when you manually open the injector executable?

[TirOFlanc]

"The procedure entry point RtlGetDeviceFamilyInfoEnum is not found in the dynamic link library ntdll.dll"

[Ceiridge]

I have also experienced this issue in a Windows 7 VM and it's due to the ETW library I use. I'm not sure how to fix it, so that could take a while

[TirOFlanc]

Ok, I'll be patient. :)

[Ceiridge]

Can you try replacing the KernelTraceControl.dll file in C:\Program Files\Ceiridge\ChromeDllInjector\amd64 with the attached files and test if one of them works and if not, try deleting the file entirely in that folder. DLLs.zip

[TirOFlanc]

Re

First dll file : same result Second file : new error message

"Unable to start the program because api-ms-win-core-com-l1-1-0.dll is missing on your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

Third (without file) : same as First

[Ceiridge]

Can you also try this custom built version? Extract it where your current injector is and please try it: ChromeDllInjector.zip

[TirOFlanc]

Hi,

The injector doesn't produce an error message or a crash but still doesn't work.

[Ceiridge]

Did you also ensure that the folder had a ChromePatcherDll_*.dll file? If not, add this dll next to the injector executable in the installation directory and try again: ChromePatcherDll_1597258877.49307.dll.zip

[TirOFlanc]

I tried all possible combinations with the new injector, the different dlls in amd64 and the new ChromePatcherDll_xxx.xxx.dll file but it doesn't work.

[Ceiridge]

I'm not sure how to fix this issue, except for recoding it again in C++. It looks like there are some compatibility issues with Windows 7 and the ETW sessions apparently. One way to fix it is to upgrade Windows, which I strongly recommend anyway.

[Ceiridge]

As an alternative, you could use an older version that uses a different method of injection ( https://github.com/Ceiridge/Chrome-Developer-Mode-Extension-Warning-Patcher/releases/tag/4.3 ), but this injector interferes with running anticheats, so beware of false positive game bans. I'm not sure how long the old version will last in the future, but I think you will always be able to just copy the old injector into the installation directory and it should work, as long as the actual DLL file is up to date.

Hi,

What kind of game? The ones under browsers or all computer games?

Is it possible to patch the files under Windows 10 and then put them in a windows 7 ?

[Ceiridge]

https://github.com/Ceiridge/Chrome-Developer-Mode-Extension-Warning-Patcher/issues/40 Browser games don't really have anticheats and those will never be affected by the patcher ever. Online computer games were the problem, especially BattlEye and probably some others.

It's not possible to patch them on another OS and then to copy them, because the chrome.dll is patched in memory to avoid Widevine detection. This means that the chrome.dll remains unchanged on the drive.

[Ceiridge]

A band aid solution would be to replace every Chrome/Brave shortcut with one to a custom made batch file or so that quickly starts the injector, then starts Chrome and then kills the injector, but then make sure that the scheduled task is deleted. But then it's also important not to start Chrome when an online game is running. Example:

@echo off
start "C:\Program Files\Ceiridge\ChromeDllInjector\ChromeDllInjector.exe"
timeout /t 1
start Path\To\chrome.exe
timeout /t 3
taskkill /IM ChromeDllInjector.exe /f

But I do not recommend this

[TirOFlanc]

No, I'll stay on version 4.3 (it's works) for the moment and I'll try the next versions of the patcher.

[Ceiridge]

The next versions won't fix this problem until this issue is closed. But don't forget that version 4.3 interferes with running anticheats

[TirOFlanc]

Ok, i just have to don't open the browser when I play, that's it ?

Don't hesitate to ask me to carry out manipulations if you have an idea to solve this problem, I'll look into it regularly.

Thank you

[Ceiridge]

No, the injector must not be running when playing games with anticheats. The scheduled task for example should be off then.

[TirOFlanc]

I don't play a lot of games, League of Legends and Wakfu, do you know if they use an anticheat incompatible with your tool ?

[Ceiridge]

I don't know

[TirOFlanc]

I will see ! ^^
