[BUG] Marvel's Midnight Suns crashes to desktop after 5 or more minutes of activity #102

Describe the bug

After injecting the latest release version of UEVR (Beta 1.02) into the Marvel's Midnight Suns process, the game will crash/quit to the desktop after 5 or more minutes of activity.

Crashes appear to consistently occur after that period of time elapses. Crashes can happen if you're standing idle in an area, engaged in combat, or watching a cutscene (real-time or pre-rendered).

This happens whether the game is set to use DirectX 12 or DirectX 11, with DLSS on or off.

Upload logs and any crash dumps

UEVR folder w/settings and logs attached.

DirectX 11 was used for this run. DLSS was turned off. Settings were set to high with TXAA. Motion blur and anti-aliasing were both turned off.

Unfortunately, no Unreal Engine-specific crash dumps seem to be produced in `%LOCALAPPDATA% or the game's save directory (where they would normally appear) when this type of crash occurs. The only crash dumps that can be found are in the "C:\Users\\AppData\Local\CrashDumps" directory.

I've also attached the log from the game's save directory.

Identify the UEVR version

Beta 1.02, commit 54990a2

  3. After entering real-time gameplay, inject UEVR.
  4. Play the game or leave it idle.
  5. Wait for the crash to occur after a little more than 5 minutes (one occurrence took around 7 minutes)

Expected behavior

The game should not crash to desktop after 5 or more minutes of any activity.

I wanna say this might be because of some intentional anti-tamper in the game. The crash dump looks like it crashed in obfuscated code (possibly a virtual machine or just obfuscation), but can't really say for certain yet.

That actually might explain it. After looking this up, I was disappointed to learn that the game has Denuvo Anti-Tamper DRM.

To add to that, in the save directory's "MidnightSuns.log" file, it appears that the game is also phoning home to 2K.

I attempted a test with the current 1.03 build and ran the game completely offline. I was able to play a little longer than 5 minutes before it crashed.

Though the game can be completed, it has been plagued with crashes and unstable performance since its launch. Having Denuvo around certainly doesn't help. It's unfortunate as the game looks really great in VR.

Anyhow, thanks for your efforts in making VR possible with all of these games!

Denuvo doesn't usually cause these crashes though, it would be because of some other reason like some in-house anti-tamper being added alongside it. Either way, anti-tamper is still anti-tamper. I'd have to take a look at the game myself to verify
