Hello, I would like to inform that the above version 1.2.2.2365 is not working on Windows 8.1(Build 6.3.9600.22577).
Whenever I try to open an app with VxKex NEXT enabled, it just doesn't launch or gives this error.

However, just like version 1.1.3.2038, the version spoofer works on some apps.
Basically, it has the same functionality as 1.1.3.2038.

Apps tested: Google Chrome, Chromium, Steam, Unity 6 games.

Chrome is based on Chromium, Steam client uses Chromium framework. So there should be no problem. Can you upload the log files?
