I've stumbled upon this video where a game breaks after a certain Windows 11 update. It's also explained that many other games (like GTA SA) crash because of this update, maybe this issue could also be the cause of XXL crash? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nEy4iAdbME

The problem stems from the update changing LeaveCriticalSection, but the games assume some specific (undefined) behavior of it

We definately know that there are 2 updates that cause xxl games to crash

baku69

For now the only fix to that is to unistall the updates xd

baku69

But well, it won't be for a long

baku69

Nvm, its vid with fix, will watch it once I will be back home

wouldn't say so that this is the same case as our games. In the video an expansion of a game isn't starting for a reason that chunk of code got added, that was not persistent in the base game. However: Apparently Win 11 changes the HMRC (wtf is that) Implementation of LeaveCriticalSection leaving it uses more stack space. Therefor the stack state is different than befor, and also than expected from the programs. Is that the reason? Idk. Is that issue in every gold game? No idea @hesopesomeso Does XXL+ have Code-Sections with LeaveCriticalSections and ReadFile and WriteFile?

schmeling65

also he just nagetated the if-statement at that point :Obelul:

truely a fassion of "I want the opposite of to be happen"

If it actually does become completely unplayable, if anyone can provide crash reports, I can see what's up. Only cr i have is from baku, which clearly crashes when calling a dsound related function.

baku69

I can try to update windows to the latest version

baku69

Just to send you crash reports

As for your question, it of course does call ReadFile & WriteFile (LeaveCriticalSections is not called at startup).
