Custom Player Portrait Not Working

I have put about half a dozen custom player portraits into NBA 2K22 already. All of them have worked fantastically well. My issue is with one particular player.

Ish Wainwright on the Phoenix Suns, his portrait won't work.

I put the portrait into the game files correctly, because if I assume his player ID for the portrait into another player's using 2K tools, the portrait I want is seen just fine as that other player's portrait. But for Wainwright specifically, no matter how hard I try, it won't show up. What shows up instead is just his generic body model posing whenever I look for the portrait in rotations, in either association or even just roster creator.

His headshot works just fine, which is a custom one I already did with the same player ID number (9982) but his portrait won't show.

I even went through the trouble of trying to use a player on a team such as an All-Time team, setting the portrait as his first, and then importing his player DNA after having exported it from the original Wainwright on the Suns. Even when I do that, THAT version also refuses to read the portrait file.

As I said, I'm pretty certain everything about the file is formatted correctly because other players will have the portrait display if their Portrait ID is changed to 9982.


Any help with this issue would be appreciated, as it will help if it happens with any other player, and I can even do a tutorial on how to fix it if the fixes suggested work,

Thanks in advance!

It could be a problem with the texture file. Attach me the file here. I think the rdat.file must be fixed.

I'm not that familiar with sharing files through NLSC, you mean link the file right?

Here's the link, I made sure to set it to shareable with anyone with link.

Thanks Shuj! This is much appreciated.

Like I said Shuj, they work for other players even though in those players' portrait ID I put 9982, it's only for either created players (even if they aren't using his imported player DNA, I tried it on a random created player I put on a roster and assigned the portrait in his 2k tools player info, still didn't work), OR with any player using his imported player DNA.

But with any other player it works.

This one should work: https://mega.nz/file/kp9yWRDb#qrqg0G3Wf ... KvbhGwPRog

Thanks Shuj you're a life saver! Thanks for doing the cyberface as well! Would be interested to learn how and what you guys do for cyberfaces, I'm really starting to dive deeper and deeper down this rabbit hole. I'm tempted to try to make something of a side-career almost out of it lol.

Definitely have been considering graphic design school!

this was a great interaction
