okay, now it's getting REAL funky
Thanks for the dll's. I put them in place.. but I don't quite understand what happens next:
* I start MHS
* I see MHS in my processes list in taskmanager, again taking up an entire core
* Nothin else happens... 5 minutes after starting, still no window, still taking 100% of one core
* I think okay, maybe I took the wrong MHS13 rar, so I delete all the files in the MHS program directory..
* He doesn't want to delete mhs.exe and the zlib dl because they are in use (fair enough)
* BUT THEN... I accidentally click on MHS.exe after I deleted all the files except for the exe and the DLL and all of a sudden mhs starts and asks me if I want to modify stuff for anti cheat detection... (but all the while the original MHS process is still running taking up the 1 core)
So now I don't get it anymore
I will reboot to kill the initial MHS, and try again, but this is looking more weird by the minute
UPDATE: Okay, still playing with MHS13 that I initially downloaded, and it seems to want to start only after I have already launched MHS once.. so I see 2x MHS.exe in my process list. FYI: the anti-anti cheat doesn't succeed in running the very first command of TU.bat... ie the SY.exe just sits there in a DOS box, doing nothing. Will redownload MHS4.0.0.13 from the site and trying it again.
Oh ye, the initial MHS process cannot be killed and it prevents my PC form shutting down.. so even though the PC is not crashing and I can use MHS now (by starting it twice), I still need to press reset button to stop MHS.
BTW: the starting MHS is still not the version 13 from on the main site, it's the MHS2 one you posted..
UPDATE2: Okay, i tried to reproduce the above and I couldn't :\
Then I noticed that there were a couple of processes running that weren't before.. I need to close ALL of these or MHS2 won't work:
skype, Kaspersky antivirus, Soundmax config manager and keepass.
I was thinking the problem was related to one of these, but no, all of these seem to be doing things that stop MHS2.rar from running. I closing all the above and trying it again with MHS4.0.0.13 but no cigar.
(Oh BTW, I also need to delete DefProd.ini every time, or it crashes too).
If you want, I made a rar of all the files in the dir atm when it is working...
(still with MHS.exe running twice though and trying to use the 'cloaking' function doesn't work, because mhs.exe is in use, so it can't write to it).
After my previous reboot, I could run TU.bat, and the SY.exe did run, so now I'm using pinecone.exe
all windows open and I can use it.. But after a reboot I still need to shutdown all the above mentioned programs and delete the DefProf.ini file or it won't work again.
Just wandering, what is different between MHS2.rar and the regular 4.0.0.13 version ? Is that the version without the kernel stuff ?
