Games wont launch with Special K
I have a problem with both Steam version of Special K and latest SKIM versions 0.10.1+
When i have global injection or manual injection (moving specialk.dll to game folder and rename it) the games gust dont launch. Steam play button shows that game is running for a few seconds and thats all, after that i can run the game again with the same outcome.
The old version of SKIM 0.9.20 or 0.9.23 for example works just fine with both global injection and manual (moving specialk.dll to game folder and rename it) + old game mods work fine (Tales of Berseria fix for example)

And all logs are empty by the way. Really cant figure out whats wrong...
I see the other topics but cant find anyone with the same problem. Can someone give some suggestions how to fix the problem.

Disable or otherwise whitelist Special K in BitDefender's "Active Threat Control" module. That module hooks various APIs of the processes it injects itself in and monitors for threats from within the process. It has been found to cause issues with Special K in the past, as well as various other applications or games.

Probably some conflict with a third-party application. Are you using FRAPS or any other third-party app that has some form of overlay in games?

Also what AV are you using?

Finally, could you upload your logs from a working instance of Special K to pastebin.com and link them here? It’s possible that their logs might give an idea of what third-part app is present.
