If the game updates, your 'toc.BAK' needs to be updated or it will cause problems/crashes. Do a "toc reset": 1) delete 'toc' and 'toc.BAK' from game's folder; 2) verify game files through Steam or EGS — that will download fresh 'toc'; 3) install mods as usual — that'll copy fresh 'toc' into 'toc.BAK'.
If the game didn't update, but you see LAUNCHER_PLAY, "toc reset" should help too. This usually happens if you used other tools that tinkered with 'toc' outside of Overstrike.
There is no virus in it. Nexus uploads all files to VirusTotal, which runs more than 60 different anti-viruses on it, and you can view the scan report by pressing a green checkmark next to download:
In addition to this, the source code of Overstrike is open. It's available on Github for anyone: https://github.com/Tkachov/Overstrike You are free to read what exactly does it do and see that it doesn't do anything bad.
So, if your Windows Defender or your browser tell you that there's a virus, just know that it's a false positive. That happens to modding tools, if they are not released by big companies. Ultimately, it's your choice to trust me there's no virus or to trust your AV that there is. Nobody is forcing you to download this app and play with mods.
From now on, any comments stating there's a virus detected will be removed, if Nexus/VirusTotal show there is just one or two paranoid AVs like Microsoft's giving false positive. If it indeed shows up as suspicious for a lot of AVs, the comment won't be removed, and I'll be working on a fix.
when I extract all the flies and I opened the overstrike and some reason I got 2 overstrike but my first overstrike is the oldest version which I got all the mods that have in the overstrike, but the second overstrike got no mods, and I try adding a mod in the second overstrike and when I hit install mods a message pop up and it says toc Bok need to be updated, if you don't know what I am talking about its ok
Overstrike (any version) no longer launches in any way for me.
Uninstalling .NET 7.0 Desktop Runtime and try running it will still shows the requirements, but installing it and the program doesn't even launch, no sign in Task Manager or anything.
I think i had a similar issue. Another corrupted version on .NET 7.0 was corrupted and it was messing with the launch. Try reparing all versions of .NET 7.0
An DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealthand sfc /scannow command to restore things so that many apps including overstrike started launching again, at least in my case
Hey, I'm having an issue: when I try to install any mods, the game will crash immediately. I've tried the More Suit Slots mod, and it's still having the same effect. As well, I've tried to reinstall Overstrike and .NET 7.0 Desktop Runtime, but it still doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Do "toc reset" (delete 'toc' and 'toc.BAK' files, verify through Steam to download fresh one) and try again. If the game doesn't crash unmodded, it shouldn't crash modded.
Scripts are more likely to crash, so start by installing just a few non-scripts mods. If they work, then add scripts. If they work too, add all other mods.
If you find which mods exactly cause crashes, you might need to ask their authors about that (or redownload the mod if it was updated).
I've found deleting overstrike and downloading it back is a temporary fix, although the problem occurs again when I try to download more mods, doesn't have to be script mods either, just any. very frustrating that their isn't a proper fix yet and that not many people seem to be having the issue.
Whenever i try to add a .suit mod (even with the extra suit slots script) it'll download but it won't actually show in the list or let me install it.. what am i doing wrong? trying to use it for SM2PC btw

There are NO anti-viruses that mark the latest version (at the time of writing this), 1.5.4, as suspicious:

ofc close Overstrike before doing that
If you mean some other mods, please link some examples. And just to make sure: mods only get installed if checkbox next to them is checked.

Overwriting 'toc' with 'toc.BAK'... OK!
Creating 'scripts' directory... OK!
Creating 'scripts.txt'... OK!
