[Working Fix] For a Windows XP users [3.4.5c upd]
|
New league - new surprises.. after 3.4 update game is now cannot work on windows XP because of missing two DLLs:
BCRYPT.DLL (executable itself) and MSS32.DLL (dependency from BINK2W32.DLL) MSS32.DLL is downloaded from (dll-files) and its OS\subsystem version is lowered using hex-editor. BCRYPT.DLL is a bit more problematic - this dll cannot work on XP, it requires Vista+ kernel driver.. Fortunately POE does not use its functionality almost for anything - only for a random number generation so it can be simple bypassed using a hand-made DLL with this function (with is not depended on kernel driver) - advapi32 contains RtlGenRandom that can be used as a replacement. Here, a working solution. Download the archive, extract two dlls in the POE installation folder (near PathOfExile.exe), wait for official fix (a few lines of code, should not take a long time), delete this dlls. Update: forget about "official fix", GGG will drop support of winxp in 4.0 release. 3.4.5c update: New problems here, game now requires inet_ntop function from ws2_32.dll and this function is available only in Vista+. Meh.. this is just a primitive wrapper around RtlIpv4AddressToStringExA and RtlIpv6AddressToStringExA (ntdll) that available starting from XP SP2..

Any feedback? It works for me, does it work for you guys? Or maybe no XP-users is left in this world?

I was really annoyed by this yesterday night because I'm also still a crazy XP user. I saw your thread this morning and yes, it is working for me too. Ty so much for this.
