Monster Hunter: World photomode mod v1.0.0c

Yep, was a big investment but no more false positives :)

FransBouma

These files are no longer coming up as Malware, did you get your DLL's situated? No more false positives?

Tre

Try to enable vsync through your GPU driver, other than that, no idea

Hi, when I enable the camera tool with OBS recording on, it causes stuttering but when I only enable either the camera tool or OBS recording, the frame is stable. Is there a solution for this? Thanks

Linh Nguyen

Thx man I'm not really a computer person but I tried again and it was really easy to get set up.

optimus prime

Will see what I can do.

FransBouma

is there away around this, keep saying virus detected and wont let me download it, felt like i wasted my money if it dont

optimus prime

No, it's a false positive, but sadly more and more virusscanners use machine learning based scanners which flag usage of normal win32 functions to manipulate a process (granted you can use it for bad stuff too) as 'uhoh, better flag it as bad!'... I've recently begun to sign my dll's which makes this all go away and compile the dll's with the latest windows SDK which also helps, but it's always a struggle...

FransBouma

Hey Otis, I love your work. Have used a lot in the past. But this one confuses me. Why does total virus give this a 44/71? Is this Malware? https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/1e74d976b2c4e761e3a52057793ae7b604bd4bc9d45519c6de1db32eecaaa437/detection

Tre

No, you should be able to download it without problems. It gives a false positive on the virusscan or something?

FransBouma

I can't even download it! Edge Chrome Opera wont let me. I have to do a registry edit? or can I have help

Ric Rodriguez

Virusscanners use machine learning/AI (the !ml is the indication of that) and try to guess if something is 'evil'. As my tools change the code of the game process at runtime using windows specific functions, it sometimes triggers virusscanners that they think the tools do something malicious. The patterns then 'suggest' it it's malware of some kind, but this isn't true, it's a false positive.

FransBouma

Tried to use this today. Said the cameratools.dll was a virus. Scanner says its a trojan. Trojan:Win32/Phonzy.A!ml. No idea what happened. I dled it straight from the link here. Also redownloaded it and said the same thing.

takal

Sigh, yeah windows defender can be problematic about this... :( I wish I had a solution for these false positives other than providing a debug build

FransBouma

Issue was CameraTools DLL file disappearing constantly even after taking it out of Window quarantine for no reason. Apologies, thanks a lot.

Please read the readme.txt file. You have to install anti-cheat removal mods, and you have to click 'Inject dll' after you run the game + the igcsclient. It's good to wait till the menu appears as otherwise the game engine isn't initialized properly.

FransBouma

Which DLL is the one to Inject (out of the four ones included)? Nothing happens in the game with any, the tool program also shows "Not connected Not connected" at the bottom left. I'm a bit confused, what can I do there? ((Both MHW and the tool run as admin, the process shows MHW, and all appears to go well but no function affects the game))

Yes, it's a false positive. Some virusscanners use machine learning to detect patterns (like 'this code injects another dll into a process' or 'this code changes a process') and what my code does to change the running game code to inject the camera logic is sadly what they trip over.

FransBouma

avast detects "trojan" in the file..... is the file secure?

No, that's currently not in the cards. There are tools which can give you a camera tho: https://framedsc.com/GameGuides/mhrise.htm

FransBouma

Thanks for the clarification. Will you be doing MH rise in the future?

riggerhunter

I've uploaded a new build. Virustotal says 10 out of 62 virusscanners find there's something wrong (but funny enough, all different things) but the more important once like Microsoft, kaspersky etc. don't find anything wrong.

FransBouma

False positive, some virusscanners think that if the code hooks into another process and overwrites code it's automatically a virus but it's the way things like camera tools work to manipulate the game. I'll recompile it and reupload it later today, that usually makes the false positive go away.

FransBouma

can you please explain?

riggerhunter

hello, kaspersky detected 'trojan.win32.agent.xaplwl' in 'monsterhunterworldcameratools.dll'

riggerhunter

It's the RTSS system (the overlay), as that's the component that hooks into all running programs. So indeed the riva tuner overlay (or whatever it's called :) )

FransBouma

I'm not entirely sure if Afterburner alone is responsible for the crashes or the RIva Tuner Overlay (which is a requirement for Aferburner), but since the two tools interact with each other, there should be somewhat a conflict. However, the camera tools for World working fine as it should be and as long as both AB and RTSS are deactivated for safety reasons, there shouldn't be any issues.

Freystein

hmm, ok. I thought afterburner could only crash the tools if the game used dx12... Glad it is at least sorted, somewhat.

FransBouma

Speaking of Afterburner/Riva Tuner, it certainly was the main culprit of the crashes after i figured out myself.... sigh. So, if anyone should have the same problem like me, please deactivate RTSS/Afterburner before you inject the Camera Tool, otherwise the game will crash constantly.

Freystein

Try to inject as late as possible, like when you've loaded your save file, and tools like afterburner might interfere. The tools only work when the mods have done their job, so injecting the camera before they do that might result in crashes... (at least that's what I can think of). Sorry for this inconvenience... :(

FransBouma

Thanks for the reply Frans. It is strange that this camera tool unfortunately only works unreliably for me. I've already had it a few times that the injection worked smoothly the first time and then the next time the game is started, there is only one crash after the other. I'm also completely at a loss as to what could be causing problems, since I'm now running out of troubleshooting. I've also tried unplugging the gamepad and closing unnecessary processes in Task Manager, but unfortunately that didn't help much either.

Freystein

I'm sorry to hear that, I've seen people use it without problems, but it's crucial that the two mods do their work to disable the anti cheat. If the game picks up the dll somehow or the anti cheat isn't properly disabled the game crashes.

FransBouma

After I've recently been playing World again for a long time, I wanted to try out this camera tool and unfortunately the game crashes far too often immediately after I've injected the dll and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Both mods are installed correctly, starting the IGSC client with and without admin rights has no effect. Tried it several times with different window settings (windowed, fullscreen, HDR and borderless window) with and without reshade, with and without mods, fresh install from world but in most crashes, the dll injection freezes shortly the screen and immediately goes back to the desktop. Sometimes, for weird reasons, the Camera Tool can sometimes injected without problems but before that happens, there is quite a lot of Trial and Error required

Freystein

Outstanding, Frans. I've been hoping for a long time that there will be a decent camera tool for World at some point availaible, since the Ingame Camera Mode is barebones at best.
