Applications packed with a very old Themida/WinLicense used to work in early Windows 10 builds (think 98xx). After that, they changed something (one of the features added later on was 'system compression', which hooks into file I/O routines) that causes old Themida to enter an infinite loop.

 

All L2 chronicles without WinLicense are not affected, and can be run on Windows 10: KR internal builds, 2002 Alpha, Prelude Beta, …, C5.

All L2 chronicles using an even moderately recent WinLicense version are not affected: Epilogue, Freya, …, IO.

 

If you want to play anything between IL and GF (inclusive), you must unpack the client build or do not use Windows 10.

 

How about that, IL and GF lovers? Microsoft decided it's time for you to move on.

As far as IL (and only IL, not Kamael and later chronicles which are also affected), infinite loop is entered shortly before attempting to load imm32.dll and msctf.dll.

 

The issue will be some incorrect assumption in Themida VM generated code, which was actually noticed and fixed by its own developers years before Win 10 even reached public attention (that's why GE and later L2 clients have no issues).

Whats so nice in W10? Bah :D

Lower Windows folder size for us SSD owners. (and lower memory footprint on startup)

You know how giant it gets after a few years with countless windows updates pass :D

 

Oh, and should I mention DX12 support? Eagerly awaiting for some engine to be updated to use the new API so that someone can finally rebuild a real game and check out the performance.

Well, how about trying to give this post as much attention as possible and hope that microsoft will find a fix/patch for us? :D

Just installed W10 Pro in a VM and verified the issue.

 

@Zeeyo, Is this something you're going to work on or release a fix for?

 

I will GLADLY donate to the "Fix IL on W10" fund if you give me info. Or OFC anything else i can do to help :P.

 

[ My Testings ]

- It seems like W10 fucks with any EXE / DLL you place on the drive where the OS is running. I copied a known working system folder to W10, ran it, ( failed ofc ) then copied it back to W7 and it no longer works. Get all sorts of entry point errors.

The real fix has been already made @ Themida side. Of course, it's not retroactive :D

I will try playing around with the compatibility toolkit, for I still have some ideas what may be functioning differently. Don't get your hopes up just yet.

    • You didn't tell me anywhere that you wanted core.jar as proof, I have everything ready for an independent developer to review. All the conversations, all your edits. I won't settle anything with you, so you can threaten me again and damage my name.
    • So what? Did i say anything wrong? You have no idea what source/compile is. I still wait for your .jar or source to be posted since you say i destroyed the compiled version of yours. Why you don't post it? Are you afraid that people will just see few addon lines and you did not even know that your source and compiled had different things? I should not even waste 2 minute to fix your raidboss_spawnlist thing.    Your mentally ill. What you posted is our primary deal nothing against me.  Because all he does is post whatever i write as if i hide and i did not say any mod to join and check my discord. i want him actual post something against me or any offenses i did. I also requested him several hours ago to post his .jar where my code "HACKED" his server but he wont post.    Nobody should allow open a random topic and cause issues to other's life without proofs. I demand punishment and soon unless he post evidence that i hurt his server or left him or did not make what he asked. 
    • guys it is probably a misunderstanding if it was windows he would have solve it since its not windows and from the paraphrasing of the developer who eventually fixed the server   the problem was from guessing the login server was not properly opening or already crashed, so the gameserver probably loaded because he was generating logs, and then stopped, my guess is still there was no login to connect and made exits, still this is a guess because i have only saw some logs and images   in one side nobody would destroy a server for this amount of money in the other side he had no experience with the operating system, and i find this logical, i am also still giving some tutorials in the topic owner so he can learn how to compile and not need the help of others, i still believe this can be solved for both parties if they behave   in the end nobody wants to cause bad to another so as i say in my starting point, it is probably a misunderstanding
