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.
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.
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
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:

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