Epic Games Cancer not being tricked #209

Open DankiestCitra opened 2 months ago

DankiestCitra commented 2 months ago

Epic Games Cancer recently added a banner warning at the top, saying that "Soon future versions will require Windows 10 (64 bit) or newer...." I tried enabling VxKex and checked the box that says [Report a different version of Windows: Windows 10] However, when I do that, EGL is not launching, it is stuck loading forever. Unchecking this box with just VxKex enabled, makes it run fine (it runs without VxKex btw), but the banner warning at the top is still there.

I have tried all the other checkboxes btw, and also tried all of the above on the EpicGamesLauncher.exe as well as the shortcut on the desktop (btw I dont know why it can be enabled on the shortcut but not in the .exe itself and vice-versa, why are they different?).

P.S. There may or may not have been a typo for Epic Games launcher in the title....oops ;)

I think there's an issue with the "Report a different version of Windows" checkbox creating issues with programs that embed a browser like chrome which needs to be fixed.

Please include VxKex log files. They are important for the author to diagnose problems and improve the application.

Steps to upload VxKex log files:

  1. Locate VxKex log files:

    • Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog.
    • Type in %LOCALAPPDATA%\VxKex\Logs and press Enter. This should open the directory containing the VxKex log files (if they exist).

  2. Clear VxKex logs (Optional):

    • In the VxKex Logs folder, select all files (Ctrl+A).
    • Right-click and choose "Delete" or "Move to trash" (depending on your operating system).
    • If you encounter issues deleting some log files, try closing any applications that are using VxKex functionality.

  3. Enable VxKex and reproduce the crash:

    • Follow the instructions for enabling VxKex on the application.
    • Perform the actions that cause the application to crash.
    • Exit/Terminate the app

  4. Collect VxKex logs:

    • Navigate back to the VxKex Logs folder (as shown in step 1).
    • Compress the log files into a single ZIP archive. You can usually do this by selecting all files, right-clicking, and choosing "Compress" or "Zip".

  5. Attach the log archive to your GitHub post/comment:

    • To attach a file to an issue, drag and drop it into the comment box. Alternatively, you can click Paper Clip icon in the formatting bar above the comment box to browse, select, and add a file from your computer.
