Hello,
Seems support e-mail isn't working so i post here.
Just got VMProtect and use it on 1 of my apps.
When i use memory protection it take 15-20 seconds to load.
If i disable Memory Protection it loads quick!
Any ideas ? (Delphi)
Thank you

Do you use something like Detours for patching of VCL's code?

Hello
No, i'm using CEF (
https://github.com/salvadordf/CEF4Delphi) library though that might do ?
Thank you

Do you know that your application patches own code (calls VirtualProtect + modifies memory + calls VirtualProtect with old protection)? VMProtect disallows to change the protection of read only memory and your code probably throws "Access Violation" exception that takes additional time at initialization.
