This eventually leads to circumstances where a lot of time is spent opening and closing device connections. The latter seems to apply only to devices that are not keyboards or mice. It turned out that some games not only unnecessarily register all HID-devices, they also call several functions every frame that usually only should be called once during initialization. This also allows some insight in how exactly the library is used by the game. This means that all calls to DirectInput go through the Hook-DLL and can either be directed to the original DLL in the Windows folder or changed as necessary. Since the DLL of the fix gets copied into the main folder of the application and has the same name of a DLL needed by the game (the one of DirectInput), it gets loaded instead of the one in the Windows folder. However, there is an order of how an application searches for the DLLs it needs. In many cases, especially for libraries provided by Microsoft, these DLLs usually reside in the Windows folder. If an application uses a library like DirectInput, it needs a so-called DLL (dynamic-link library) where the functionality of the library is stored. The FPS drops happen because the thread that runs DirectInput massively slows down after a while (as can be seen in tools like ProcessExplorer).

The library is ancient and should no longer be used today, because there are other ways to get mouse and keyboard input, especially for games. User input in games like FEAR can be realized via DirectInput, an API by Microsoft for interacting with HID-Devices. The fix is implemented using a common technique known as DLL hooking. This is the only way to load multiple (conflicting) files.

Just create a corresponding folder in the install directory of the mod.

The mod will also automatically load all DLLs regardless of their names in a dinput8 sub-directory. Using this method will lead to an error if the renamed DLL is not itself a dinput8.dll. Just rename the DLL you want to load accordingly. From a strictly gameplay perspective, Condemned is about as straightforward as can be. The mod will load another dinput8.dll automatically if it has the name dinput8.dll.

Note that there might still be compatibility issues between the different fixes, mods or injectors that have nothing to do with the loading process. To increase the compatibility with other mods or injectors that are using a wrapper DLL, this fix offers two methods for remote loading of additional files. If you lack the trust in random people on the internet - and I would not blame you - feel free to use a meta online virus scanner like VirusTotal to verify the file. In that case, it might be necessary to add an exception rule to the scanner. Since this mod consists of an executable DLL file that uses "hacking techniques" such as injection and hooking, it could be classified as malicious by antivirus software.
