Initialize runs several times in a few games about hudhook HOT 3 CLOSED

I know next to nothing about swap chains, but it seems that the ImguiRenderer gets invoked more than once inside of it in some cases. Or perhaps something is loaded/unloaded several times in the launch process of these games, causing it to reinitialize?

Edit

Aha.. just noticed that the Mutex holding ImguiRenderer gets reinitialized inside the imgui_resize_buffers_impl, my bad.
What's the reason for this? Tried removing it and things seem to work just fine on my end.
I noticed that the OpenGL3 hook doesn't seem to reinitialize the ImguiRenderer anywhere either.

You can also likely ignore my earlier comment about game input getting weird because of it - doesn't seem to be the issue.

Hi! Sorry for the delay, been quite busy.

In some games (definitely DS3 and ER) not reinitializing the renderer means that the UI won't scale alongside resizing the window, at best, or crash, at worst.

The fact that it gets called multiple times with early injections makes me think that resize is just called pointlessly by the game/engine a number of times while nothing is still getting rendered yet -- I wouldn't say this is something hudhook should work around.

No worries, no pressure, just happy to get a response eventually!

Aha! I suppose I should just make changes on my own end then. I have some functionality in the initialize function that I'd rather not have run more than once.

Absolutely correct, thank you for the input mate. I'll close this one.
