I keep getting the error loading library remotely also.. I have UAC disabled (even disabled again), I run the thing as administrator still and everything.. nothing works.. :/ I was really looking forward to playing with this lol.. but luckily I am not that upset since I won loads of games today..

EDIT UPDATE: I got it working by running SCII in windowed(fullscreen) mode. Guess it didnt like drawing stuff on the screen in non windowed mode. Also, the APM calc seems funky at the start when your first building is done. I Right clicked a few times right when it ended and then didnt click and it took 10 seconds or so to go from 125 down to 75. Seemed weird to me but maybe thats right. Or are you using the entire in game time even though you dont start looking at it until first building?

Win 7 64 bit pro. Have it all setup as per instructions, running as admin etc. nothing shows up in game. here is an excerpt from my log file, this shows all relavent info, the bottom 3 lines just repeat over and over.

Lots of repeats on the last 3 lines, log file is pretty big.

Also the 0x88760868 error is a DirectDraw/Direct3d error I believe.

For people having trouble finding log file, mine was right in same directory as APMAlert2.dll, the directory you extracted the program to.

maybe it's just me, but this might be a tiny teeny little bit distracting, dunno.

Clearly sir, you don't understand what the real game is.

I have exact same problem except the log reports are not produced in the .dll directory or the sc2 support folder. I think those of us with problems like this are running windows 7 - 64
bit. Anyone with more info or a workaround?

as I said in my update. open SCII and in settings set it to windowed(fullscreen) instead then restart it.

Also, the APM calc does seem off, my apm is nowhere near 125 and thats what it said most of the time.

Thank you for taking the time to make this program.

I am also getting the "error loading library remotely" message.

I have tried running SC2 in windowed(fullscreen) and still get the message.

Running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

How would a dual-screen setup affect this program by the way?

Shouldn't have anything to do with Win7 64bit as I'm running that as well and it works fine for me. If you're seeing the same error as him (CreateDevice returned 0x88760868) it means its the bug with fullscreen. If I minimize every window before running SC2, this bug does not occur, so you can try that as a temporary workaround (or run SC2 in windowed fullscreen).

To everyone not having logs get generated: The only thing I can figure atm is that the DLL is never getting injected. I'm uploading a new version of the program right now that will try to make absolutely sure that a logfile is created, but if that doesn't work then that is the likely issue. Hopefully we can get that solved soon so you all can enjoy huge APM displays instead of being annoyed by all these shiny graphics.

The APM calculation is done based on time since the game started using exponential decay. This is an attempt to smooth out the data that the game exports to the registry, because otherwise I feel your APM can drop too fast for the alerts to be useful (like if you were to ever chat, your APM would hit 0 pretty much always). It is possible that I haven't made APM decay fast enough, however, so that could be something to tweak. First I'd like to get more people able to run it before I start working on that though.

I have dual screens and thats what I test on, so it should work fine. Once I figure out why it doesn't work for a lot of people, anyway.

Your right about the .dll not injecting. Tried new version but no logs still and I tried to repair .netframework.

Just uploaded an updated version. This should give a more specific error if it fails to load the library remotely (so those of you getting that error before, please download the new version and tell me what it says now). It also trys to be ultra-safe about creating a log file, so if you cannot find a log file in either of the other 2 locations, check for C:\apmalert2.log

Was this made because they are mocking the Razor SC2 mouse and keyboard and their "APM technology"?

No, it was made because some people find this legitimately useful/nice. I made an earlier version of this for BW ( http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=55181 ). This would not, however, be possible (or at least I wouldn't have bothered) if Razer hadn't made those peripherals because I utilize the same APM data they do to generate the alerts/display.
