thank you, b2269 doesn't crash. Using instances=1 is a bit faster in compiling (but still 1minute), output size is 1.5x bigger than before, app execution of virtualized/ultra functions is much slower than before. I appreciate your commitment to improve security, but every release i get slower execut...

Hello, v3.9.3.2257 goes quickly to "compile 100%" then stays 1minute ther, then 2minutes in "saving startup code" (instead of seconds), eats 10GB of ram, produces 3x bigger file as before, then the protected application starts 3x slower and crashes somewhere in a virtualized func...

Thank you for quick fix, no more error, compilation time is ok, the saving startup code takes very long (eats 5GB of ram) and resulting protected file went from usual 8MB to 32MB but anyway the protected application works. Setting the VM istances = 1 resulted in 18MB. Unfortunally i still have execu...

Hello, with this last version, protecting my usual net6 dll (with some embedded dll, mutation on pretty all the code, some virtualize and ultra..), it stucks at Compilation 100%, sometime i get error "Incorrect stack" after 10seconds, some other times VMPgui starts to eat gigas of ram with...

Hi again, tested 3.9.1.2196 I'm getting mad in finding what is slowin down drastically my application since v3.8.9 (every release it gets more and more slow), still i've not found the exact point, anyway when i was experimenting with enums, i saw 3.9.1.2196 produces slow code randomly (at least with...

ah ok got it, it's a dotnet compiler thing, i'll use the manually shuffled array in case, thank you.
v2193 is a bit speedy, thank you

Ok, so the problem is: same "string content" present in different methods (even as local variables), VMP treats them as the verysame one, in the GUI i see only 1 string "hh\:mm\:ss\.fff" [Obfuscation(Feature = "strings", Exclude = true)] // don't want string encryption ...

Thank you, i'll take care to not abuse with strings to not fillup the VM. I tought [Obfuscation(Feature = "strings", Exclude = true)] would do the job to disable virtualization on strings, which is what i did for form2.savelog() and not for form1.savelog(), when both went to 20s i tried to...

So i tried to lighten obfuscation setting on the slowest methods, and found something weird: some methods tooks 20seconds (instead of 0.1s in unprotected exe) even with obfuscation setting set to none. It took some time to isolate the issue, looks like it's about same/similar piece of code that can ...

Thank you for your quick response, 2189 fixed this second issue. About the speed of virtualize/ultra, in 3.8.8 i used VMComplexity=20, here in 3.9.0 it's 2/3x slower even if i change complexity to 10. I would like to know if it's something you expect (like you rewrited the whole virtualization code ...

Thank you for quick reply, in attach the next bug. BTW, virtualized functions (compared to v3.8.8) are like 2x/3x slower, is there a way to speedup? Virtualized code is always slower that original and it's normal. I mean, i'm just compiling the same piece of code with some virtualized and some "...

Hello, i've a class with an array as public field (let's say mypubarray), a virtualized method that makes like mypubarray = new byte[size]. VMP 3.8.8 no problem, with 3.8.9 and 3.9.0 the pub array is not substituted with the new one. If instead i do array.resize(ref mypubarray, size) it works normal...

2002 works, thanks. But, since 3.8.6, using default VM (not the compatc old one), compilation of my dll most of the time stays stuck 30-40seconds at "compiling 100%" then resulting protected file is +1200% bigger, some other (few) times compilation doesn't get stuck at all, and resulting f...

Unfortunally i cannot, i'll try to strip it down till i find the critical point.
Is it possible to have a more verbose error output? This woudl help me.

b2001 gives error a bit later

Compiling... 9%
