Dalamud.Boot doesn't support UNC paths

[rreminy]

FFXIV is installed inside a VeraCrypt volume and apparently Dalamud.Boot doesn't work properly with this fact. This in turn causes XIVLauncher to display this error and not inject Dalamud on game load (I been injecting manually for the past few months).

So far I figured out the following:

• Dalamud.Boot would throw RewriteRemoteEntryPoint failure: CreateFile failure (GetLastError: 3), causing the function to return 1 (non-zero).
• This causes XIVLauncher to display the message above. (Note that I do not have any Anti-Virus installed, including Windows Defender)
• CreateFile path is \\?\VeraCryptVolumeR\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\game\ffxiv_dx11.exe

Moving it out of the VeraCrypt volume resolves the issue. I do not know if this applies for all types of virtual volumes but would be something take a further look into. This did not use to happen before around 6.0.0.0.

(My VeraCrypt version is 1.24 in case that matter)

I remember that I had to convert NT path to DOS path in boot because Reloaded tripped on NT paths when I tried it last time, but if it's working for you by manual injection, then I'll try removing DOS path conversion later.

On a side note, does it work if you use Legacy as injection method instead of New?

Yes, it works if I inject manually afterwards after the error message with the game running

No I don't know the Legacy and New injection methods, I only followed what the code was doing via debug and those were my findings

edit to add: I been using Dalamud.Injector.exe to inject manually

Try the "Legacy" one - it's basically CreateRemoteThread(LoadLibrary). I don't think there would be a reason this would not work, so meanwhile I figure ntpath with reloaded out, using Legacy should work.

I found the setting, the Legacy method works fine
