Instant crash when switching to hotkey mode about byondhook HOT 10 CLOSED

This is just one /guaranteed/ crash. There are other random ones that occur as the round progresses. Testing experimental fixes to help stop this.

Seems to be due to command logging so far.

Hey, would you please mind saying which server did you try this on? I can't seem to reproduce the issue neither on Goonstation nor Lifeweb, I've pressed tab and hotkey mode seems to switch on/off without crashing.

99% of crashes are due to the the CommandEvent hook, the command logging indeed on very rare occasions trips on access violations when reading the pointer to the command string retrieved from the EAX register.

A variety of servers, ranging from Sojourn to Merchantstation, I tried on both the most recent beyond and the version showcased on the github, both crash instantaneously upon hotkey mode being activated.

This also seems to be related to just hotkey mode being activated, because once you do; any subsequent reconnects instantly crash once you get into the server.

I can confirm this issue and I'm investigating, very weird.
I'm also focused at the moment on the 514.1584 update which somehow broke the CommandEvent hook and returns an invalid pointer even though nothing inside that function in byondcore.dll has changed. They are also now elevating dreamseeker.exe privileges, I suggest staying on 1583 as of now.

Hello, please try upgrading to BYOND 514.1584 and compiling commit 22d0d55 and see if it fixes your issue.

Best Regards

commit 0cc0de6 seems to finally get rid of the issue, including the rare occasional crashing. Please, let me know how it goes

Will try.

Past the occasional bug (this), everything seems to now work fine.

Will re-open if new issues arise.

Alright, sorry to mention that but I believe that is not really a BYONDHook "bug", there's some servers where I can't understand why, multiple child processes of dreamseeker are started (depending on the server, sometimes only on the first join), then the parent process is terminated. The child processes don't have visible windows except for the last one which shows up the game, but it causes the console windows to be opened. I'm pushing a new update soon, by changing "AllocConsole = 1" to 0 in the config.ini file, you will be able to suppress the console window so that these won't show up anymore.
