Operation Wolf Returns Hooking Problem #216

Closed megashub closed 3 weeks ago

megashub commented 3 weeks ago

Followed the wiki instructions. DS hooks successfully at first, but then exits once OperationWolf.exe exits and it launches OperationWolfXR.exe. I think OperationWolf.exe is acting as a launcher so it only survives a brief time. DS hooks fine onto the launcher, but doesn't survive and hook onto OperationWolfXR.exe.

Ran DS in debug mode to aid in troubleshooting:

I tried running OperationWolfXR.exe directly instead of OperationWolf.exe after running DS, but OperationWolfXR.exe just runs OperationWolf.exe first anyway, so there's no change in DS behavior with that method either.

Finally, as a last ditch effort, I tried renaming OperationWolfXR.exe to OperationWolf.exe (and just backing up the original), but it fails to run as it expects OperationXR.exe to exist and it doesn't. Didn't think it'd work, but it was worth a shot.

Anyway, let me know if I can provide any other information.

The game's Build ID in Steam, in case that's valuable information, is 12197373, Installed content updated: Nov 26, 2023

Update: My problem was that I was not running the game with the right option set. Recommend updating wiki to ensure people launch the game in non-VR mode, either by setting it inside Steam, or via commandline using steam://launch/1852650/option2

Hello, I was just about to ask if you were trying the VR mode !

I'll update the wiki thanks to your message. Owning the GOG version of the game, I don't have those options to set the 2D/3D mode because both exe can be run with different results.

As for the initial issue of DS closing, it's an expected behaviour as it will close itself once the hooked process is closed. Again, using the GOG version I never had this "launcher alike" issue of an exe closing to run another one.

Thanks for the update
