PoEHUD - Overlay for Path of Exile (Updated for 3.0)

[poe1992]

All good, just one correction: everyone is worried about such things, it’s not just me.

hey man it looks like the FPS drops problem just happens in dx11. I remember when I used (dx9 version) it was perfect like +90 FPS. if dx9 was updated I would like to test this one more time

GGG is retiring dx9 soon so there's no point updating that.

[GameHelper]

My philosophy is rather than clinging to the past ( dx9 ) we should improve the present and the future ( dx11 ).



EDIT: I am an elder now...

That's because people kept adding code to the dx11 base, whereas the dx9 base has a much lighter footprint. Some of that dx11 code was, to say the least, inefficient, as well, which compounds the issue.

Wow, a sibling of TurboHUD

I just started to work on a HUD for PoE (like TurboHUD for Diablo 3) and somebody notified me there is already one

Great job! Keep it up man!

BR,
John

PS: kudos for going opensource!

question: how they detect memory reading? :confused:

question: how they detect memory reading? :confused:

To our knowledge, they aren't directly detecting memory reading. They have an anti-cheat that functions similar to warden in the fact that it doesn't exist in the client, but once their anti-cheat is done doing its scans, it gets unloaded in memory. We know that their anti-cheat has the ability to do pattern scanning, so we believe how they detected PoEHUD in the past was that they noticed it was suspicious due to an open handle, they opened the executable, scanned it, it matched an expected pattern for a cheat, they notified the server.

We've toyed around with a few ways to attempt to get around this like running PoEHUD on a polymorphic engine... but ultimately running PoE as a user with limited permissions seems to be effective.

Note: We don't even know if their anti-cheat is active right now. We suspect they rarely activate it due to its huge performance hit and use it as more of a warning.

yeah, limited user is the way to run TurboHUD as well, however there is (nor ever was) any protection in D3 against it

[TehCheat]

A few notes regarding anti-cheat. Last I knew it WAS in the client, it's just in-lined and therefore a bit difficult to find. I'm also fairly certain they've used signatures to detect HUD in the past. Running as a limited user bypasses signature detection since it can't sig-scan the process of another user/file it doesn't have permission to.

Also, no need to thank any of us for the open source, it's been that way since before any of us started working on it.

How to run as limited user?

Да, возможно и есть.

Everything was working really well and then my computer restarted and now I'm getting a .NET error when launching poehud. Any ideas on what is causing this? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling .Net 4.7, as well as reinstalling the C++ redist.
