After the patch, the Simple Mod Framework was already updated and most mods that I use continue to work.
Now it seems there’s also a new SDK. Does anybody know if it’s okay to install that or will mods need to be updated to work with it?
Speaking of new SDK… I had the issue of the game only showing a black screen upon startup, and iirc correctly, I had to relocate (an?) SDK file so my game could work again.
Yes… yes. I know I could download it and see if has the same issue (and probably will), but figured it didn’t hurt to ask in case anyone knew already if there shouldn’t be an issue.
I haven’t played FL in a long time. Because I prefer the Variations mod.
I’ve seen people report the game eventually loaded in such a situation, but it may take several minutes. Not sure if it was due to SDK or any mods.

The black screen issue definitely seems like an sdk problem.
Mods are also still applied from previous versions when updating, but will cause problems as they weren’t made for the new version.
The basic rule of troubleshooting is to test things individually! Try removing your mods and the sdk and add things back to see if that fixes things. 
There is also an sdk update from yesterday that might help: https://github.com/OrfeasZ/ZHMModSDK/releases/download/v4.1.0/ZHMModSDK-Release.zip

Oh yeah! I remember that working for me too. After a looong time (I even missed an ET). At some point it went to the black screen. I must’ve forgotten about waiting. 
DL’ing now! Thanks!

Jesus, why? Also, how are you gonna sort it out with all new items added?

For fun, mostly. I find the item rules in base game too forgiving. And I’m sorting it out per map, using 2016 balancing as a base to work from. Working order is: Maps for 2, Pack Content for 2, then Maps for 3, then Pack Content for 3. I’m on Miami now. I’m thinking I might restore set bonuses for certain illegal items, like the clown suit does, but for stuff like 7DS to give more gameplay depth. As well as add some locational depth to item legality (cough open carry in whittleton?)

DLSS on Hitman looks… interesting

It was the input8.dll I had to remove.
Anyway, my game did start before. I thought I’d play FL, but when I tried the game crashed. Next time - eternal loading.
Then I get a window pop-up saying SDK needed to update. I let it update (I guess)… I had to give something permission from my AV sandbox (twice). Whatever the heck happened, I ended up putting whatever version of SDK where it should go. Then I was back to an eternal black screen (I even waited more than several minutes). I even had the title screen at some point, But it would stay on top. No Alt+Tab would get it out of the way. Ctrl+Alt+Del… That’s a puzzle you have to solve blind. I ended up forcing a restart, then moved input8.dll - - Again!
Or maybe some other mod that’s causing a conflict. I’ll just run/play FL vanilla if I should feel like playing. 
Is it just me or does Agent 47 kind of looks like he has a shaved head when the DLSS is turned on? lol
I’m impressed…
This shit gets uglier with every game it’s used on
