Charles17 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I was getting some errors through a skse crash dump log referencing memory access errors. Investigating this further, I stumbled upon "Exploit Protection Settings" in windows defender. I have tried searching for simple worded instructions as to how this works and what settings to use for Skyrim/SKSE with absolutely no luck. What stands out to me as this may be something worth getting help over is this built in windows application can control completely or limit all programs/applications that require virtual memory access and dll injection into processes. Being a little more precise, when you edit permissions, there are areas that read as DATA EXECUTION PREVENTIONPrevents code from being run from data-only memory pages DISABLE EXTENSION POINTSDisables various extensibility mechanisms that allow DLL injection into all processes, such as windows hooks. VALIDATE HEAP INTEGRITYTerminates a process when heap corruption is detected. There is a long list of others, but these stood out the most. Rest can be found by opening Windows Defender/ App and browser control/ Exploit Protection Settings Most of us run a number of DLL files within our game, d3d9.dll, d3d9_smaa.dll, d3dx9_42.dll, as examples for ENB or other purposes. Even crash fixes has the line DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB:Memory which could potentially be affected by validate heap integrity. Perhaps I'm concerned over nothing, which I hope is the case, or this application within windows defender could be the cause of a number of crashes users experience within this game. As I said before, I am not a programmer so the content I've read through online made very little sense to me, so a response for dummies would be most appreciated.
