Memory protection and load time

VMProtect
1

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 (GitHub - salvadordf/CEF4Delphi: CEF4Delphi is an open source project to embed Chromium-based browsers in applications made with Delphi or Lazarus/FPC for Windows, Linux and MacOS. · GitHub) 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.

Nope. unless a library does it! I take a look!

Thanks
