SuperBLT not giving a download prompt

[A Squared]

I've recently reinstalled payday 2 to play VR, but I'm having trouble getting BLT mods to work. When I download the SuperBLT .dll and place it in my payday 2 install folder, nothing is happening when I launch the game.

I've gone and checked, and installing normal BLT isn't working either, so the problem might not actually be with SuperBLT. I've used BLT plenty in the past, but it isn't working now.

The two tips I've found online have been to launching the game from the .exe directly and to make sure Disable Fullscreen Optimizations is unchecked. Neither of those has worked for me.

It seems like the .dll isn't being loaded at all. I don't think I'm the only one with this problem.

Blt says an update is available in game but the update button doesn’t work

After you install the DLL, make sure you delete your mods/base folder - it still contains the regular BLT Lua, and deleting it will make the DLL prompt you to automatically download the SuperBLT Lua.

Yeah no dice.

Neither regular BLT (with the mods folder included) nor SuperBLT (on a fresh install without BLT) do anything. The mod hook seems to be completely failing to hook. That is to say, neither .dll seems to be loaded in at all.

The only 3 solutions I have found are to launch the .exe directly with admin permision, to make sure no compatibility options are on, and to reinstall windows 10. I'm pretty close to having to go with option 3.

Failing to hook? I've seen this problem before, and made a make-shift DLL-injection system - load PAYDAY 2 then run an EXE, it injects into the running process and sets up BLT.

There's an old version floating about somewhere here, I'll get a new one with SuperBLT and automatic reloading done sometime soonish.

That would be awesome. I love your mod, I'm excited to get it and other BLT mods working again.

Change of plan:

The problem is that PAYDAY 2 isn't loading IPHLPAPI.dll, probably because it's already been loaded by something else. I'm going to make a version that hooks WSOCK32, which shouldn't have this issue.

Could you please create an empty text file called WSOCK32.dll in your PAYDAY 2 folder, then start the game, and then report back whether an error message appears.

Hurray, I've solved this!

Go to the SuperBLT website[superblt.znix.xyz] and download the alternative WSOCK32.dll-based version. Extract it into your PAYDAY 2 folder as you would the normal version, but remember to delete the old IPHLPAPI.dll file.

After that, everything should work fine.

Yes! That works. I could kiss you right now.

Great, if you see anyone else having the same issue please point them this way.
