Note: as with most mods, use this online at your own risk, possible that it could be detected (though only 1 byte is changed in the game memory, and no game code is changed)

Tiny DLL that fixes the issue with "Disable double clicking" setting being ignored after restarting, by patching the games memory on startup.

The other options I saw for this were unfortunately either for the older pre-2022 update, or needed some important Windows security features disabled, so tried having a look into making a fix myself.

Luckily found a way to disable it by patching 1 byte of data in games memory, with the games code itself left unchanged (so the games "double click" setting should still work if you want to re-enable it during gameplay, though double-click will be disabled again when you relaunch)

Should work on almost all systems without needing any other changes, for pre-2022 versions of the game see skacikpl's QoL mod.

# Setup

• Extract dinput8.dll next to DarkSoulsII.exe (SotFS only)
• Run the game
• (recommend making sure "Disable double clicking" is set to "On" in game settings, otherwise double clicking may get re-enabled)
  

The dinput8.dll can be renamed if you're using it for another mod, the following names should work with DS2:

• dxgi.dll
• XINPUT1_3.dll
• DINPUT8.dll
• WINMM.dll
  

Mods that can load in ASI/DLL files should also be able to load it in for you too.

If you have any issues try installing the Visual C redistributable from Microsoft site (choose the x64 installer), if that doesn't help please let me know.

# Known Issues

If the "disable double clicking" setting is turned to "Off" and then game restarted, on next startup the mod will force double-clicking to be disabled again (as expected), but opening the key binds menu in-game may then re-enable double clicking even when no settings are changed, since the game will reapply the "Off" setting.

Not really sure if I'd call it a bug but it can be confusing, ideally you should keep "Disable double clicking" to "On" when using this mod.
