Hi all,

I have injected dll into the game (by hardcoded asm in the exe). After setting the hook for the DirectDrawCreate API and getting DirectDraw object I have created overlay surface. Everything works ok. Overlay surface can be displayed over primary surface. But whenever I want to release overlay surface (also right after creation), game just quits. But what is important same happens when I change the resolution in the game.
Anyone experiences with this problem?

Thanks in advance.

I cant really help but off the top of my head I would guess its something with permissions relating to memory?


Do you have read/write access of all the right memory?

I'm burnt. I tried.

can be a ton of things, losing the device / surface when you release() somehow?

you can debug injected dll's fyi, might want to give it a shot. you can do it straight in visual studio as well, inject, attach debugger to that process and it will break where you have it set.

Thank you for answers, I'll try to debug it and detect some problem. Game can be run in windowed mode so it makes things simplier at least.
