ReShade crashes EA game if the Origin window it's not focused was created by notnsane
This is extremely particular but wanted to submit a bug report anyways.
ReShade will 100% crash on certain games on Steam (in this case Mass Effect: Andromeda) if the game doesn't focus and the middleware was replaced with Origin.
I haven't tested this with the EA app but the EA can't be used for Steam games or I lose functionality.
These are the steps needed to reproduce the issue
1. Install Mass Effect: Andromeda on Steam store.steampowered.com/app/1238000/Mass_...omeda_Deluxe_Edition
2. Install Origin download.dm.origin.com/origin/live/OriginSetup.exe
3. Use the Fuck Off EA App to replace the EA app with Origin github.com/p0358/Fuck_off_EA_App/releases
4. Install ReShade as DX10+
5. Press Play and do not touch anything after clicking on play
This is the error I'm getting:
To avoid this issue, user needs to click on one or both Origin popups as soon as they appear to force focus of the game.
Notes:
* No, I cannot test with the EA app since that app breaks all Steam games and developer doesn't care.
* Overlays have nothing to do with the error. I disabled both the Steam and Origin overlay and ReShade still crashes.
* Yes, I renamed dxgi.dll to d3d11.dll
