That's one of the first things I've tried, it's one of the first suggestions posted for similar questions on various forums. Same result. I've been reading up on hook5 issues these past few days but nothing seems to help. I'm pretty sure the answer would have been on modsgarden but it's a little late for that.
Any other suggestions?

-Here is the mainfx_errrors.txt log, which should be related to Hook5 (short and not revealing much):
| loading main settings failed adapter 0:NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti requested: 1280x960 requested Format: B8G8R8A8_UNORM entering validate resources shader compile failed: effect compile failed signature for fake primitive failed |
-Here is the dxgi.log, which if I remember correctly should be related to reshade. This one looks promising, but I'm not sure what kind of changes I should be seeing ingame as a result. It only created this positive log after I copied dxgi.log to the binaries folder (its original position was the main folder, but the dxgi.log generated in the main folder said "If you are reading this after launching the game at least once, it likely means ReShade was not loaded by the game...
check if there is a 'bin' directory, move them there and try again."):

Apart from these two, I'm not aware of any other log files in Bin. Let me know if I missed anything.
Thanks

There is no error in this log . Anyways , last thing will suggest if there is dxgi.dll or file with similar name present in Binaries folder try to move it different location. Mine was crashing , the fix was launching from Binaries folder. Have you installed reshade and hook 5? Does game launches normally without hook5 and reshade? If no then there is problem in the VX itself.
Like I said, the game launches without a problem when d3d8.dll is not present in the folder, so given the fact that d3d8.dll is a hook5 file (it was not present in the main folder before copying the hook5 files), then yes, it could be said that it launches fine without hook5.
Soon after I posted my previous message I actually managed to get it working for a while (not sure how) and the reshade menu also popped up though I could not confirm if hook5 was working or not. Visual improvements noticeable but again, not sure if reshade was responsible for the improvements or a functional hook5. I then started migrating my V7.5 files to the VX folder, like txx filed in addons, skins to mod\activemod, models to save\models and on next attempt it started crashing again. I then removed everything that I had copied over, basically returning it to the state where I got it working, and still crashed.
So to summarize, I can confirm that the VX itself is functional, reshade is functional. I'm not sure about the hook and I'm not sure why this game does not behave reasonably... usually when you add a file which makes the game crash, removing that file should make the game run as before, especially for a portable app like the one i'm using.
The first thing I moved were the skins, and they didn't cause the game to crash. However, when attempting to load them in customize, they were not loading and lip and lash artifacts were scattered all over the model. To my knowledge, they are 4x skins as that's what my V7.5 was accepting. Any idea which section of the application would be tasked with telling the game what size skins to use? and how that may be changed to 4X? In case i manage to get it to work again that is.
Thanks.

If hook is installed you will see Basic version written on top left. Basically your game crashes when you use all the mods from 7.5 . Have you enable 4gb patch from options menu?
Yes, I have enabled the 4GB patch early on, found this suggestion on the forum here as well.
And yes, when I got it working, Basic Version in red was written top-left.
I also thought that the crash was due to the things I've added, that's why I removed them all, as I've said before. The txx files are no longer in addons, the mods are no longer in activemod, the imported models are all gone, the entire folder was restored to the previous working configuration (it's the portable version not the installed version, so this should have worked, but it still won't start).
But my question now is how do I get it to accept 4x skins for models. One of the skins imported was a 2x skin and when I tried that one on VX that time when i got it working with hook, the 2x skin was the only one displayed correctly. All other skins in my library are 4x skins. Which component tells the game what size skins to use?

Hello, I try to customise cloned character but they aren't saved when I quit the customisation room, is their no way to manually save them ?
(I don't talk about saving parts of them in the customised room like outfit, body, face, etc, but the full character for it to appear in the character selection)
edit : also, how to make long legs correctly ? why I can make them longer but the pelvis stay at the same heigh ? how to put the pelvis higher ?

i have a question, and its something weird. When i first downloaded TK17 and the Hook 5.. everything was perfect and the hook 5 with shaders. But the next time i launched Tk17, the game was very bright and i can't find any option to increase shadows. I tried deleting, uninstalling and downloading it again from here but its still the same, the scenes very bright... any idea?
anyone have any suggestions of mod packs or packages with mods that I can simply instal without having to download 5 parts 1 per day for one pack? tierd of these damn 5 hour wait times for a partial piece, even a site that has mods I will very much appreciate!
So maybe someone here can give out a simple answer. Does anyone know if the modsgarden is gonna come back or something similar of the sort is going to be in place. I know about klub exile and the way it runs not exactly a fan mainly that you have to be active to access content and that site seems a bit restrictive also not 7.5 friendly from what I saw, unlike modsgarden feel like there was more freedom there. I know there was huge arguments about it in others forums about it so please don't start fighting here too and no straight answer was given. So anyone know what is gonna happen are we gonna see the modsgarden back up or not?

On the contrary, biggest problem and one of main squeeze is this game and community is dead. Modsgarden is banned and it's very hard to get custom content and mods for this game unless you know exactly where to look it. I had old repack of this game over 100gb size and deleted it because this game simply don't worth the hassle and waste your time staying in loadingscreens literally 45 mins each time you wana load session. Very good game itself and moddable but sadly it's behind salad code and don't handle graphic mods very well and game itself without it looks like total trash.

Seems highly unlikely now that the domain has been auctioned off and bought by a marketing company that squats abandoned domains. However time will tell, you never know. I suggest pay attention to the LL Club or Mods Disc Discord in case K17 post any updates.
That said nobody really mods for 7.5 anymore. Most if not all new mods are built for VX and they are not backwards compatible. If you are one of those holding on to 7.5 there was a Pornbb link a couple pages back that seems to have a pretty complete collection of all the content for 7.5, I would even say more than ModsGarden as many key modders pulled a lot of their content off of ModsGarden before its demise. You can also try this place:

, which I believe is where everything is sourced from. Like I said the new stuff is not being made for 7.5. I can at least speak for myself and others that I know still mod and we are only making items for VX. And unfortunately there is only a sparse handful of modders left.Hope this helps....got to go finish making some heels
