The basic feature (using PreyDll.Chairloader.dll instead of patched PreyDll.dll) works. But ChairManager is not aware of this feature and will try to patch the DLL anyway.

If you want to test it, download the latest build from here and manually install Chairloader.dll and mswsock.dll. Then rename patched PreyDll.dll into PreyDll.Chairloader.dll and restore original PreyDll.dll

When launching Prey.exe normally, PreyDll.Chairloader.dll will be used with Chairloader. When launching Prey.exe -nochair, original PreyDll.dll will be used and Chairloader won't be loaded.

Is PRIC supported with the DLL changes (or will be in the future)?

Yes, but with limitations.

This PR will allow you to disable DLL modding in Chairloader. The game will use the original PreyDll, which is supported by PRIC. But some mods (like Hackerman) won't work.

So can’t be used concurrently yet is what you are saying? If so, any plans to make them work together?

Yes. Either Full Chairloader or XML-only Chairloader + PRIC
