"vpatch error" appears after booting up Touhou 6

[metalglass1234]

After i updated thcrap and booted up Touhou 6, this error appears which says about a "vpatch error" along with "DLL Injection". Touhou 6 also freezes after this message appears.

That's weird, because the 4 latest version have been:

1. do something,
2. it creates an issue with vpatch, rollback,
3. try to fix this issue,
4. it crashes for many people, rollback.
   So the latest version should be the same as the one from May 25th, which didn't have that vpatch issue as far as we know.

Can you open the thcrap log file (in [thcrap's directory]/logs/thcrap_log.txt), check the version number at the top, and make sure it says 2024-06-08? Btw, if it says 2024-05-29, that's the version from 1 week ago where vpatch was broken.

thcrap_log.txt
It says 2024-06-08. I've attached the thcrap_log.txt file just in case.

The version is indeed correct.

Can you send a screenshot of your Touhou 06 folder, as well as thcrap_log.1.txt?

It looks like vpatch and game executable is not in the same directory based on log and screenshot path diff.

I think I'm getting the same issue. I'm getting this error trying to run TH06 with vpatch through thcrap. Every other game with vpatch works fine and running th06 with vpatch through locale emulator also works fine (using the vpatch package for thcrap). Doing some investigating, the issue is fixed if I remove thcrap_update.dll, which is really strange. Pressing "Run the game" from the window doesn't fix it, so something about that update window I think is causing the issue.

EDIT: Okay looking at it more indepth, it seems to be very inconsistent. Messing around with building thcrap_update.dll at previous commits somehow made everything work, even when returning to the original thcrap_update.dll so that I can't reproduce the error again, until some time has passed. I think there is something really weird and subtle going on.

Removing d3d8.dll doesn't change anything from what I can see.

thcrap_log - with update.dll and error
thcrap_log.1 - no updatedll and no error

Quick analysis of the log with an error: exception C0000005 deep inside LoadLibraryExW. There is no code from either th06 or thcrap on the stack trace. I guess the call with the exception is the one from vpatch trying to inject its dll, and that the exception is then converted to an error code when returning from LoadLibraryA.

Also getting the same error. In my case it consistently happens in Touhou 6, 7, and 8.

That happened to me a few times recently, but it only happened once. I just restarted my laptop and it started working again.

I received the same error and was able to trace it back to an exception thrown in Kernelbase.dll in thcrap_log1 (Exception E06D7363 at 0x761DCBB4 (Rx15CBB4) (\KERNELBASE.dll)). Issues with this DLL have apparently been known to affect a variety of games, and can be caused by system monitoring or similar software that run at startup. In my case this was MSI Center, others have mentioned disabling MSI Afterburner to fix issues with this DLL for other games.

I'm on windows 10 and it says ntdll.dll is the issue for me

It works with disabling fullscreen optimization in the Compatibility Tab.
