QuickBMS Closes When I try to Open a Script

[aluigi]

Regarding the first screenshot, it seems the same problem of that user happening immediately after the selection of the script.
Can you check if you have the same problem is you use older version of quickbms like the following?

Screenshot 2: I guess you specified something via .bat or shortcut when you launched quickbms.exe, anyway I will fix it.

Screenshot 3: everything worked correctly, don't worry about the last error. As you can see you reached a 100% coverage so it's ok.

hello. i do have exactly a same problem. as kingjigglypuff.
im using windows 8.1 and run a Nvidia card.
i dont know how to use a command prompt, but ill understand if there's a step.
ive tried using InjectedDLL and it shows this



now, what should i do?

[aluigi]

The quick solution is using quickbms from the command-line while waiting for the next version.

I have checked the image and apparently there are no external dlls so the problem is probably somewhere else.
In the meantime I'm trying to find to what the problem may be but it's difficult without having the problem here.

[aluigi]

Could you please tell me if with -9 you have the same problem or not?

[aluigi]

Let's try slowly step-by-step.
In attachment you can find the code that causes the crash embedded in a new basic program.

You can select any file because they are not used, it's just a selecion.
Can you tell me if also this test tool crashes?

Sorry for responding so slow, I honestly didn't notice there was a page 2 of the thread

so as you said

this is true, files were extracted into the folder i created, but the doesn't go for the other files i try to extract. I'll post the entire log for file Nr.2

I tried to launch it in "-9 mode" but didn't seem to have much success, also are those links to the odler versions of quickBMS working?

[aluigi]

In your case -9 worked.
The problem there is the script you are using because quickbms didn't crash.

And yes, obviously those link to the older versions of quickbms work. Click on "Here" or copy&paste the link in your browser.

P.S.: what's your exact Windows 8.1 version?
On Windows 8.1 Pro the location of the crash is not valid.

I am using windows 8.1 pro, but from what it seems i was looking at a bad tutorial, there are better ways of modding that game it seems

Thanks for the help though, I'll be back if i ever need to use your software again. I'm not even sure what it is that you guys do here, but it looks pretty cool ^^

[dancingjaeger]

Could you please tell me if with -9 you have the same problem or not?

yes i have, it doesnt work either

[aluigi]

Any feedback from the test.exe tool I posted?

[KingJigglypuff]

Are you alive?

Oh, sorry. Yes, I'm alive. Sorry for not noticing earlier. I sent you a PM with my dll results.

[aluigi]

@KingJigglypuff
ok, you have only one external dll in the process but I don't think it's the cause of the problems, after all you said that disabling the AV doesn't solve the problem.

Can you try the test tool available here?

What I want to do is understanding if test.exe crashes too and then working on it to fix the issue.

[KingJigglypuff]

I'm able to open the script with test.exe, but it then crashes with a "test.exe has stopped working" error.

[aluigi]

That's a fantatic news, it means that now it's easy to work on a solution because it's the same problem of quickbms.
Tomorrow I will provide other new test.exe to guess what can be the problem.

[KingJigglypuff]

That's great to hear.

[aluigi]

Ok I have prepared a set of new tests, could you please tell me if some of them don't crash?

[KingJigglypuff]

Test1, test2, and test5 crash after opening the script. Test3 and test4 don't crash, but they don't quite work. I open up test3/4 and open the script, but when I open the file the script was made for, it goes right back to asking to open the script.

[aluigi]

That's exactly what the test tool does. It's like an endless loop that asks you to open the script and the input file.

So we have found the culprit.
For some unknown and senselss reasons Windows 8.1 wants OFN_ENABLEHOOK and an useless hooking callback... really senselss but at least now I have a fix for the next quickbms.

Thanks for the tests KingJigglypuff.

P.S.: the negative side of this work-around is that the dialog looks horrible: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/473 ... enfilename

[KingJigglypuff]

You're welcome. Thanks a lot for helping out.

QuickBMS 0.6.5 has been just released and contains the work-around to avoid the crashes on Windows 8.1.
