This one took a while but thanks to user feedback I finally reproduced and therefore was able to fix it. This should also fix rare instances of lingering blackscreen as a result of the low memory condition.

Huge apologies to those affected by this one
UPDATES

• FIX: memory leak while using multimonitor as a side effect of a recent Win11 update.
  

UPCOMING

• UPDATE: UI + editor rework
  
• NEW: achievements
  
• NEW scripted 3D cursors
  
• NEW: docs

And kudos to all the workshop contributors! :)

Apologies this one took longer than it did. I was in the middle of an engine swap where the new engine happened to also be the fix for this and a long list of other issues... Then the NVidia update dropped which broke YM for a lot of folks and turned this into a top priority hotfix. This solves blackscreen for both the NVidia update and AMD GPUs.

FYI: The engine is used in an overlay to show 3D cursors but also all cursors with anticheat protected games. The new engine is custom, lightweight, and paves the way toward scripted cursors :)

Note: The pixelfire 3D cursor was temporarily removed to get this out sooner. If you miss it plz let me know so I can bump priority.

UPDATES

• NEW: replace the engine behind the 3D cursors. now a super lightweight custom one.
  
• FIX: blackscreen caused by recent NVIDIA update and when using AMD GPUs
  
• FIX: due to engine replacement a long list of performance and other bugs were fixed. hopefully nothing new added ;)
  
• UPDATE: reworked the 3D cursors as a result of engine update.
  
• REMOVE: unfortunately pixelfire had to be removed to get this update out sooner.
  

UPCOMING

• UPDATE: UI rework

Stabilizing...

This small update focuses heavily on stability before moving back to features. Most of this involved simplifying and heavily retesting the injection component - the part that tricks a game into using your cursor.

Also by popular request some of the basic cursors were given a more pixel perfect remaster :)

NOTE: If you have issues updating, the previous YM may still be lingering so please reboot first. One of the fixes avoids the need for this in the future.

UPDATES

• UPDATE: Simplified injection system and made it more robust
  
• UPDATE: Remastered cursors: Arrow, Circle, Cross, CrossX
  
• FIX: Overlay cursor losing state when switching between between windows within a game/app.
  
• FIX: Cursor sometimes hiding when it shouldnt.
  
• FIX: Certain long load time games (like D3) falsely being labeled as "Protected" if assigning a cursor during this time.
  
• FIX: Not being able to reinstall or upgrade YM due to hooked DLLs still being attached to running games/apps.
  
• FIX: Sometimes basic windows cursors being chosen instead of intended game cursor while entering picker hotkey.
  
• FIX: Picker hotkey not working after a settings reset.

Finally an update! xD

Had hoped I left YM in perfect shape while I went off to work on another project, but alas software can never be perfect. These are items that crept up over time...

One in particular is based on reported issues I couldn't reproduce. But I knew these must be related to the hooking system (where YM jumps into a game and tweaks its cursor). So I ended up rewriting the whole thing to fix a lot of performance and stability issues. One caveat is you may be nagged with an admin popup for old 32bit games that run as admin - like DAOC.

The other important update finally fixes the wierd input issues some may have noticed in certain anticheat protected games like Lost Ark.

Also some new cursors! :)

Btw, that project I mentioned is a new crosshair app called YoloX. It uses much of YM's tech and some improvements of its own that I rolled back into YM.

UPDATES

• 1.8.3: Fix: Error popup if opening YM quickly multiple times.
  
• 1.8.3: Fix: Subscribed workshop cursors disappearing if starting YM while steam already running while "sync with steam" is OFF.
  
• 1.8.3: Fix: Larger cursors not showing in preview, like Nyan cat.
  
• 1.8.3: Fix: Fullscreen games getting minimized by license nag
  
• 1.8.2: hotfix: invisible cursors in WoW.
  
• 1.8.1: hotfix: apps targeted by YM not shutting down properly
  
• 1.8.1: hotfix: partially disabled overlay app blocking. it was overly aggressive and caused black screens for some folks. for now it only blocks the geforce and steam overlays.
  
• new: added YoloBypass.exe which serves purely to fix wierd input issues in some anticheat protected games like Lost Ark. It only runs when needed (no bloat!).
  
• new: cursors: anvil, bag, balance, book, bow, chest, flame, heart, mail, satchel, skull
  
• buff: improve performance by disabling rendering for the cursor and settings menus when theyre not in focus.
  
• buff: improve performance and anticheat security by only hooking into intended apps.
  
• buff: improve hooking safety against crashing the target app
  
• buff: block other overlays from hooking into YM. this prevents various known or potential problems.
  
• remove: old 32bit injector. replaced by above changes.
  

UPCOMING

• new: achievements
  
• new: simplify 3D cursor system

Hotfix!

A fast needed set of fixes for issues found in the last update. The biggest fix was removal of the UAC popup which wasn't intended to trigger so often, caused other side effects, and was really just meant for one game: Everquest 1 ;) The fix also added back an old "Run as Admin" option to taskbar menu. This is only needed for rare cases (like Everquest).

Thanks for all your feedback which greatly helped in squishing these bugs :)

UPDATES

• new: brought back "pyro" cursor and with a few buffs :)
  
• new: added "run as admin" menu option. only needed for a few rare games like everquest. this compensates for following fix.
  
• fix: no longer automatically show admin prompt for some games and apps. this happened when it shouldnt and caused many other issues.
  
• fix: visual artifacts when switching between monitors using certain cursors
  
• fix: 3D cursors sometimes disappearing when switching between monitors
  
• fix: improve static+hidden cursor positioning
  
• fix: workshop page selection problem
  
• fix: crash when using activate button
  
• fix: migration of certain settings
  

UPCOMING

• new: achievements
  
• new: more included cursors
  
• new: docs
