v0.7.0-vs2022-crashfix

This is NOT a feature update. It is a crash-fix TEST build.

If you are running fine on v0.8.2, you do not need this. This exists only for the people hitting the startup crash (black screen for a couple of seconds, then the game closes) on Virtual Desktop and Steam Link.

What it is

The exact code of v0.7.0 (the last version known to work on Virtual Desktop and Steam Link), recompiled with the current compiler (VS 2022, the same one used for v0.8.0/v0.8.1/v0.8.2).

It deliberately does not include the v0.8.x features (no motion-controlled weapon, etc.). That is the point: it isolates one single variable. Tester logs have already ruled out every code change between v0.7.0 and v0.8.2 as the cause of the crash, which leaves only the compiler. This build pairs v0.7.0's known-good code with the new compiler to find out.

Please test it if you were crashing (swap is quick)

You already have v0.8.2 installed, so:

  1. Open your Wildlands game folder.
  2. Rename the existing dxgi.dll to dxgi.bak.
  3. Copy the dxgi.dll from this zip into the game folder.
  4. Launch and see if it still crashes on startup.

Or just run install.bat from this zip over your existing install.

What your result tells us (please report it on issue #2 with your GRWVR\grwxr-<number>.log)

  • If it STILL crashes: the compiler is the cause. The fix is to build the mod with the original toolchain; no code change would have helped, and we will sort out the build environment.
  • If it WORKS: the compiler is innocent, and the crash is a code change made after v0.7.0. That is fixable, and it tells us exactly where to look. You would also have a working (if older) build to play on in the meantime.

Everything else

Same rules as always: solo campaign only, never co-op/PvP/matchmaking. Your antivirus may flag dxgi.dll; INSTALL.txt explains why. If you are not affected by the crash, stay on v0.8.2 for the newer features.

Optional, never required: a donation page exists at buymeacoffee.com/firejumper93 for anyone who has asked. The mod is free and stays free.
