Game seems to crash on exit

[OverDhill]

I am using this great app but there are times when I exit the game (which is also using x360ce) to quit back to Windows I get a dialog "Application has stopped error on exit"

Hi @OverDhill, some questions to help me figure this out:

1. Can you confirm that the crash doesn't occur if you don't use devreorder?

2. Did you install it individually for each app you use it for, or did you use the system-wide method?

3. Which game is having this issue, and are there any other games that crash like this?

I'm not OP, but chiming in anyway:
I get a similar crash using devreorder+x360ce with RocketLeague (after exiting the game). The crash goes away if I don't use devreorder. I "installed" devreorder only in the RocketLeague bin folder. I never really bothered to report this, since it only happens after I've quit the game already anyway.

@gyrovague Thanks for the report, particularly because RocketLeague is a game I own. It's starting to sound like the common thread here is combining x360ce with devreorder, so that's the first place I'll look for a problem.

Can you send me the devreorder.ini file you're using for RocketLeague? (My guess is that you're hiding the DirectInput controller that's driving x360ce.)

[OverDhill]

I am not hiding any controllers and only re-ordering them so x3605ce is using the ones I want. I do however have a number of controllers on my simpit.

@briankendall Here is my devreorder.ini in RocketLeague:

With this config, x360ce only sees my two analog controllers, which is what I want. BTW, this app really improved things for me, since before it I had to always unplug a bunch of things to avoid x360ce trying to use them (it seems to just grab the first 4 USB devices it finds, in some non-controllable order, and ignore all the rest), and this now allows me to conveniently play two-player split-screen RocketLeague.

Let me know if I can provide additional info to help debug. I can theoretically attach to the process and find the crash in the dll if I compile it myself and run in VS or something, but I don't really have much time to spend on this, and the crash at exit isn't so bad.

Well I can definitely reproduce this bug with my copy of Rocket League. Unfortunately at this juncture I'm not sure how to fix it.

There's some kind of interaction happening between devreorder and x360ce, as if I remove either one of them the issue goes away. However as a test I made a version of dinput8.dll that does absolutely nothing other than pass through to the original dll, and the crash still occurred. So the problem is probably in how the modified dll calls into the original one. It'll take some more investigation for me to figure it out.

Sounds like some sort of rug-pulled-out-from-under you type of situation.
