Hook PlayerEditor+ v1.5 fails with Season 6 patch

Has anybody else gotten a prompt today from Steam saying you need to update before playing?

Yeah they updated the .exe again, the size of the .exe is bigger now around 120mb. I'm still using the old .exe just so I can play with mods though, not sure if the latest .exe will work with hook/mods or not. Wonder what's on 2K mind lately lol.

This is just further evidence that the type of edits that a good chunk of the fanbase adds via mods are going to be monetized. Additional hairstyles wasn't just a feature, methinks, it was foreshadowing.

Next PC version will be next gen.

With everybody on the same page, additional looks, (cyberfaces) jerseys, courts etc will be sold via microtransaction. It was only a matter of time before they went this route due to the popularity of modding these things.

What they are not seeing is that piracy will skyrocket if an offline modding solution is possible. A lot of modders are not online types anyway. The sad part is that the microtransactions will still probably make up the difference.

Greedy Bastards. It's not like they aren't making enough money.

Mine just went through an update, for an hour or so. I don't know what was updated. They didn't explain.

ok so you need to put back in the old exe again , the new update updates the exe file . so if you put in the old exe again it will work fine . just have to reload the old exe once again

Mine is still crashing like hell. Game is unplayable after the update. Ridiculous....

To me MyCareer is ok after day before yesterday update.One time crash game and pc reboot automatically.
Of course i did apply old exe to new one

Tbh, It's surprising that they haven't done this already. Base game would have a default look for each player. Hairstyles and different faces (bearded Doncic vs Clean Shaven, Face guards, etc.) would make money as microtransactions. New courts, classic jerseys, updated body models... man.. they already know it. No attention is given to current gen. They roll out next gen on PC and can add their own version of mods and spin it as something consoles do now too. It is about money for a business. Its greedy asf, but people eat that bullshit right up.

Replacing with the old exe after the newest update works for me. But I am only playing myLeague.

2K has added an anti-cheat system to this version. You are not allowed to attach to the game process, and if any bytecode is found to be changed, the process will be killed by a protection thread??? (but with a random delay??? Perhaps). As a result, we have to bypass the anti-cheat system first. Or (as a last fallback) we back to the archive importing method like in 2K15 / FIFA, however, we will need to develop a new modding tool for this method.
But anyway, I am trying.

I've made some progress, but I've realized that if the Hook tool provides anti-anti-cheat, it could potentially pose some risks for me. After all, our original intention was just to mod our game in offline modes to enhance our gaming experience, not to cheat, but now we have to bypass the anti-cheat... I am not sure whether it's OK to release the new update.

The new version is already in testing, and will be released in the next few days. And I have added a disclaimer in the new version.

The only solution right now is to use a prior exe until Looyh updates the plugin.

Works on steam deck, I can't even get a game to boot on PC.

Yeah, my Steam deck works fine but I think it has v18 or 19 of the hook?
I've had to disable mods on my PC though, might try the previous hook today if I get chance

i only play myccareer so it's a good news for me.

Both Hook core and PlayEditor+ plugin have been updated.

Thank you very much Looyh!

Question- Do you think your new player editor+ and hook folder will work with the old 2k23 EXE file as well or are they only meant to work with the new 2k23 EXE file? I've been using the workaround presented here before your fix to use an old 2k23 EXE file to get the old editor+/hook to work. I'm wondering if something might break/crash if I pair your new updates with the old EXE file. Any one know how to gain access to the new 2k23 EXE file if this ends up being the case??

Thank you very much Looyh!
