bad_module_info crash correlation to Windows security auditing events

Hi there - This probably doesn't mean anything since correlation does not equal causation yada yada blah blah, but I thought this was interesting and maybe a dev or someone would care to take a look. I noticed that Event Viewer is logging two Microsoft Windows security auditing events exactly 1 second before my game crashes to the desktop with no error and has the bad_module_info Applicaion Error logged in Event Viewer.

I went back through about a dozen of my historical bad_module_info crashes and it seems that these security events are always logged exactly 1 second before the bad_module_info Application Error event.

I copy/pasted 4 examples into the attached .txt file - each section starts with the Application Error and then is followed by Event 4672 and Event 4624. I tried to indent them to make it a little easier to read and each group is separated by "================================================================================="

  • Nice catch dude.

    This has to be related. I have them not before but 2-3 seconds after the crash. I don't know if it has to do with the systems speed. Exactly same logs. Checked 2 logs btw maybe others were before the crash but i don't want to go down so much further on the event viewer.

    If I read my events correctly I've got the same thing as @PotatoPotahtoh . One second before the bad_module_info I get the same Microsoft Security-Auditing Events 4672 followed by 4624. I would provide logs if someone could tell me how to do it. Hope this leads to something

  • Unfortunately I can't replicate this. While I do get bad_module_info, it's never preceded with auditing events. 

  • I have absolutely the same events (4672 and 4624) 1 second before or after bad_module_info.
  • It really seens like Windows blocking some service to get full previleges to access anything... My game is a little bit stabe after full system reinstall, but sometimes It's closing as same as before, I'm waiting new crash to get the dump files!

    I'm lucky, it didn't crash yet.
