Linux, Vulkan: Game Freeze after Injection in rdr2

[tim-gromeyer]

Description: Hello, I'm currently facing an issue with UniversalHookX when trying to inject it into rdr2. While the injection process itself seems to work, the game unfortunately freezes shortly after.

System Details:

Click to expand

• Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed
• Kernel: 6.4.11-1-default
• CPU: 11th Gen Intel Core i5-11300H @ 3.10GHz
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU
• GPU Driver: NVIDIA 535.86.05
• RAM: 16 GB

I run the game with Proton Experimental

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Launch any injector (I'm using Guided Hacking Injector 1.7)
2. Inject into rdr2 process with LoadLibraryA as injection method
3. Observe the game freeze

Expected Behavior: I expect the injection to be successful without any negative impact on the game's performance

Actual Behavior: Upon successful injection, the game freezes after a short period of normal gameplay

Additional Notes:

• I've tested this on multiple occasions to confirm that the freeze consistently happens after injection.

hello, i can't test this sadly but i don't think injection works at all? the output console should have at least something in there?

does the freeze happen if lets say you compile a dummy dll (only prints hello world) and inject it?

I think it does, I'm using the same injector for a GTAV mod menu and it works fine. Currently "we" (I don't actually do anything) are creating a mod menu for rdr2, the injector works and I get output, see the picture below:

The way the menu works in terms of injecting, hooking and rendering is the same as this example... and both freeze the game.

I don't know. I'm on Linux, I can't compile a .dll for a windows game (at least it would be very hard to set everything up, and wine and actually windows are not the same)

Are there any info's I can provide to get the issue solved? We can also get in touch to get the issue solved. My name is benutzername_tim on Discord. Maybe we investigate the issue more and you send some dll's for me to test
