Five bugs identified and patched in retail Asheron's Call client: - v3b: palette refcount over-increment (3-byte NOP at two sites) - v5: RenderSurface PurgeResource no-op stub (vtable slot 2 thunk) - v11: two dangling-pointer crash guards (NULL-check + reorder) - v14: CEnvCell::Destroy ClipPlaneList leak (18-byte JMP to cleanup thunk) - v22: unpacker stale-pointer SEH guard (whole-function __try/__except) All five ship in leakfix.dll (117 KB, SHA d282f23c…) which is loaded by acclient.exe at process start via PE import table patching by tools/install_leakfix.py. Controlled 15-client fleet soak: unpatched control died at 26h with palette exhaustion; all 14 patched clients survived past that point and reached ≥5-day uptime. Residual ~15 MB/h growth traced to d3d9.dll's internal slab allocator (260KB surface backing buffers retained after Release). See REPORT.md §10 for the full investigation; conclusion is that it's unfixable from outside d3d9. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

"""patch_freeobject_v2.py <pid> [--revert]
|
|
|
|
v2 patch: force DBOCache::FreeObject to always take the DELETE path
|
|
(never add to freelist). This causes every Release-to-refcount-1 to
|
|
invoke the proper destructor, which calls operator delete[] on the
|
|
Palette ARGB buffer (and similar for other DBObj-derived classes).
|
|
|
|
Target byte: EoR 0x004169bf
|
|
Original: 0x74 (jz delete_path)
|
|
Patched: 0xeb (jmp delete_path) — unconditional
|
|
|
|
Effect:
|
|
- DBOCache::FreeObject(this, obj) now always:
|
|
obj->ReleaseSubObjects(); obj->in_use = 0; this->vt[0x44](obj);
|
|
- Skips the "if freelist enabled, push to freelist" branch
|
|
- Affects ALL DBObj-derived classes (not just Palette)
|
|
|
|
Risk:
|
|
- Performance: cache misses now require full alloc + load instead of
|
|
reuse from freelist. For frequently-used classes, may add latency.
|
|
- Correctness: should be safe — delete path uses proper destructor
|
|
that already handles all field cleanup.
