Explorer.exe responsible for some bugs or causing issues?

Post » Sat Jun 13, 2009 7:50 pm

Hey, I noticed something interesting. I have been experiencing many of the bugs people have mentioned here with game, including loses melee upon reloading and being unable to log in. When using Unlocker (http://www.filehippo.com/download_unlocker/) to check what processes are using the Crysis 2 program files folder, I find explorer.exe using all of the sub folders. I was wondering if anyone could quickly navigate to their Crysis 2 program files folder and try it and tell me if you find explorer.exe listed in the program. I find it odd, though it could be nothing.

It's normal because you are starting the game from Explorer.exe shell. When you start the game from catalog/start menu/desktop shortcut explorer's process is actually executing application that you want. In this way explorer.exe becomes as a parent for application and as i said before is normal under Windows systems (and others also)

Okay. It's just strange that I haven't seen other games do this. Thanks!

I have read your post again and I gave you probably wrong answer. At first I thought that you are posting about that explorer is a parent for crysis2.exe process.

It is quite strange behaviour - perhaps Windows is making some crazy file indexing stuff or crysis is using some functions that are implemented in explorer's binary. I'm not so sure right now.
