Menu doesn't popup even though injection was "successful"

[nisanb]

Hi ! Thanks for this!
DLL loads fine, but menu does not open.

Game: Tarisland (PC)
Direct X used: 9
Attempt 1: x64\Release\UE4Injector.exe Demo-Win64-Shipping.exe dxgi.dll "...\bin\UniversalHookX Release x64.dll"
Attempt 2: x64\Release\UE4Injector.exe Demo-Win64-Shipping.exe d3d9.dll "...\bin\UniversalHookX Release x64.dll"

Does the game's renderer you're hooking into match your forced backend in UHX? I tried to make an edit on UHX myself (off of this branch) which auto-detects what the backend renderer is and it seems that DX12 sometimes doesn't display a menu although successful, but DX11 does. Here's a link to my hooks.cpp file for auto-detection (quite rough, but works)

Same issue here attempting to hook nGlide's Direct3D renderer, which is still based on D3D9. Injection is successful, I can see the hooks running, the drawing code running, but no window appears in the game itself.
EDIT: It does work fine with dgVoodoo2 (DX11 backend) though, so I'm using that for now.

It seems UHX has some difficulty with hooking DX12 and the fix was to just force everyone to use DX11. However, me and my team have decidedly swapped back to plain old trustworthy Kiero hook, with a modified detection system.

One thing UHX seemed really good at though... performance. So, we brought over some of the more up-to-date swap chain setup and it runs better across multiple systems (AMD/Nvidia) on differing rendering backends (DX11/DX12).

I do want to revisit UHX at a later date myself with a forked branch that has a better built in detection method with no problems across different systems and backends.

Edit: when I say "UHX has some difficulty with hooking DX12". I mean, it used to work 100% of the time for me, but for other people it would always 100% cause a crash. It also stopped working when I upgraded my GPU.

Thanks for recommending me an alternative, I did not know about keiro yet.
(For completeness, I did not have success getting it to work with nGlide either. After adding a required manual detection of when D3D9 is available, the hooks for EndScene / Reset are set but never run, at which point I didn't investigate further. I'll stick to dgVoodoo2 with its default D3D11 backend and UHX for this experimental case.)
