I though this was a fixed issue? But it bit me today.

No fixes yet, 'cause nobody knows why it happened, and I can't reproduce it personally on any of my computers.

This symptoms (Ordinal 345 error) occur in Call of Duty Warzone (Modern Warfare) and cannot be resolved by adding the corresponding exe file to Unloaddll. The only workaround is to turn off Mactype. The game is free and can be downloaded from Battle.net outside of Mainland China.

I have this exact same issue, whenever I start the mactype service, warzone (modern warfare) cannot be launched and I will keep getting ordinal 345 error, but if I turn off mactype service the error will go away, I'm not sure what is causing it and event viewer doesn't even flag it as warning or error, the log also contains no useful information besides how is the error described: Application popup: ModernWarfare.exe - Ordinal Not Found : The ordinal 345 could not be located in the dynamic link library D:\COD\Call of Duty Modern Warfare\ModernWarfare.exe. I can provide more info from my PC if you need it for this issue.

Yes, I also get the same error in service mode. My OS is Windows 11.

As a general rule you should exclude game executables from MacType.ini in the [UnloadDll] section. Many games will work, but many won't because they do weird things we can't predict with font rendering.

I've already added that game executable to the [UnloadDll] section, and the symptoms are still reproduced.

Maybe there are some companion application started along side the COD game? like the infamous RuntimeBroke.exe?

I would like know that if you started up your game via a shortcut? If yes, try to execute the .exe file directly. I'm kinda suspect that MacType has failed to correctly extracted your game executable filename from your shortcut.

I really have no more thoughts besides that.

This error only occurs when running from a shortcut or through the battle.net launcher. I was able to play the game by running the .exe file directly from the install path.

My environment is Windows 11 21H2 build 22000.739.

@ssharp0614 I guess I got the idea.

Please send me the problematic shortcut (.lnk file). I won't able to launch your game from that, but I think the information it carries is enough for me. Thanks.

If it is relevant, one of the programs I have this issue with is sidebar.exe started with a lnk file: C:\Users\amonra\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\Sidebar602.lnk sidebar.zip

Okay, but what you sent is an exe.

Jun 23 '22 10:06 snowie2000

Drats - 7-Zip being too smart for its own good followed the lnk file and added the exe instead of adding the lnk file to the archive sidebar.zip

@perdrix52 @ssharp0614 Replace mactype files with this one: MacType-BetterGuess.zip

Turned out I misunderstood the rules of the CreateProcess parameters, and MacType may extract the wrong name from it. And in certain cases failed to apply the unloadDll rules in the first chance, which may cause some applications to not run properly.

Please try this improved version and see if it makes any difference.

Files are in use of course ... How should I install the replacements? Using Safe Mode?

Windows rules: executable files (.exe, .dll) in-use can't be replaced, but they can be renamed, then you can put new files in, and restart your computer.

Thank you, This worked for me

Problem has recurred:

Starting it again worked fine

Jul 01 '22 08:07 perdrix52

So it is still a mystery to be solved.

I've fixed serval bugs these days and I'll release a new version once I am done, but this problem is not one of them😕

This is a duplicate of #488. I used to be haunted by that issue periodically. After a long struggle, Snowie had posted a fix for that issue. After applying that patch, I no longer got that "345" dialog any more. PS: I don't know whether it was "fixed" because that I bought a new computer...

I haved this bug serveral days before. It only appears once when i open any program after restart windows, then it does not appear again when i work . After reinstalling windows and everything else, it become ..381.. instead of ..345.. So funny.

I noticed that some of the mactype dlls have manifests embedded. I've removed them and here they are: nomanifest.zip

Also, my last patch in https://github.com/snowie2000/mactype/issues/864#issuecomment-1165148711 introduced a serious buffer overflow bug, please update with this hotfix ASAP.

Jul 13 '22 05:07 snowie2000

I had turn off Clear Type in Windows Settings and apply your new dll. A new dll error still appears once when i open a program ( not 381 or 345). And when it happens, i can not open my start menu, it becomes blank. //sr for my english Chrome: 2022-07-16_cr

Hi, sorry to bother. Has there been any progress on this, by chance? I'm encountering this same "ordinal 345 not found" error re: 'cod.exe' after trying to install and launch the Call of Duty Warzone game. I'm guessing it's most likely from MacType, then, and not something else with my setup?

Should I try the nomanifest.zip variant mentioned above at https://github.com/snowie2000/mactype/issues/864#issuecomment-1182794113?

Hi friend, I have the same problem, please help me.

I'm very sorry about this mysterious issue, but till now, it never occurred to me in any form in whatever software I was using.

So there is really nothing I can do to mitigate this problem.

GRACIAS AMIGO!
