I tested the GOG version briefly, I get no freezes. There is a firewall popup, isn't that stopping your game somehow? Does it work fine without DDrawCompat?

EEP-SleePer commented 3 years ago

the game just freezes when i click on "play" in multiplayer. and I don't even come back to the desktop, I can only log out and log in again with Ctrl + Alt + F4, otherwise nothing reacts anymore. I forgot to say, I also used DREXMOD2.0 (if it tells you something). (I also removed the Drexmod to try it, but unfortunately it didn't make any difference.)

The first thing I noticed positively about your v0.3.1 script is that the cursor in the EE lobby moves much more smoothly and does not stutter.

Please reproduce the issue with the ReleaseWithDebugLogs build (in the debug zip file) and attach the logs from that (compressed, if possible).

A crash dump could be needed also, but logs are easier to get and might be enough in itself, we'll see.

here is the .log file https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yBOLpL4QKsE1x-LWSAjzkek0YQDzT8dZ/view?usp=sharing ( Log file is from Empire Earth Retail + DrexMod + NeoEE )

It seems to be a deadlock on the main thread, but it also happens suspiciously directly after some NeoEE related overlay(?) window is closed. Did you check the GOG version without any external mods or patches? Could you please upload logs from a clean install without mods?
