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)
- dxgi.dll
- XINPUT1_3.dll
- DINPUT8.dll
- WINMM.dll
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.
