Stack crash from infinite recursion of CreateDevice hooks. Epic Game Store overlay.

[Losti3D]

I crash Remant from the Ashes constantily the time i use migoto. The Launcher will not work, it cannot identify the load, so its not a prevention to use the launcher,

May you have an idea?

Also COMPAT SHIM flags will not work to prevent crash.

Any suggestions to try are welcome and of course some fixing ^^

THANKS!

I can take a look with Remnant from Epic store.

However this log is using version 1.3.10. Does it show same symptoms with 1.3.16? There are some changes specific to hooking in later versions.

I have tested several earlier migoto Versions but not sure if it was 1.3.10 ... ill recheck this this evening.

And i am also using epic games Version.

Took a quick look- As of 8/13/20 They switched from SteamWorks to using some new EpicOnlineService. And it looks like that has an overlay component that is poorly coded.

I don't have time to look further, but if their overlay can be disabled this will likely still work. Alternatively, the Steam version will likely work.

Yeah, it's their overlay that causes the issue. Workaround is to block their overlay from loading like the old Steam crashes.

They install this path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Epic Games\Launcher\Portal\Extras\Overlay

If you rename Overlay out of the way, it won't be loaded by the game and it therefore runs with 3Dmigoto. Presumably this also blocks the ability to play online co-op.

Nice finding! Thank you BOB!!!

I have to start epic games launcher. THAN rename the Overlay folder to some thing else or remove, and than start the game, that works!!

Just noting this is a further problem for Epic Game Store games.

Rocket League will crash for the same reason, and same log file with hooking quirk. Disabling the social overlay in this game means you can no longer play online tournaments.

This looks to be a 3Dmigoto bug also, as google searches don't bring up any complaints about their overlay.
