stuck in "using shared mode"

[jackthebeast]

Hello, my DSW installation has been dong this for quite a while now. Basically when it starts by itself at startup it gets stuck with that message, I I close it and relaunch it starts normally and it works. I'm attaching full logs. Any idea how to solve?

I should add that this behaviour doesn't change wether the controller is connected or not when DS4W launches and that I'm using hidhide to hide the controller from anything but DS4W

What version? Have you updated at all or tried the beta builds? Are you launching as Admin?

[jackthebeast]

Latest 4.0.2.3. No betas yet (tho I only see the viiper one?). I've tried everything I can think of. With and without hidhide. Shared and exclusive mode. Auto start in task and program mode. Reinstalled Everything except windows.
Can I provide any more data?

It always worked perfectly for me until a few months ago when it started to randomly have this problem, now sometimes not even restarting it works.

I'm honestly not sure. You would need to take a dump when it crashes, do you know how to do that in powershell? You can ask chatgpt and provide me logs of the crash. Make sure chat verifies them

I can look that up, try and report back thank you

I dumped the process while it was stuck via the task manager. not sure if you meant something else, launching with powershell I didn't see any log. dump it's 500mb so github doesn't let me upload it. here's a mega link
