Run the overlay next to other dinput8 mods

PC · Advanced

The overlay gets into the game as dinput8.dll, and so do other mods like OpenDojo and TKData Mod Loader. Ultimate ASI Loader takes that slot instead and loads all of them.

Step 1

Download the loader

Ultimate ASI Loader for TEKKEN 8.

Step 2

Put its dinput8.dll in the game folder

...\Polaris\Binaries\Win64, beside Polaris-Win64-Shipping.exe. That's the same folder the normal install uses, and this file replaces whichever mod owned that name.

Step 3

Make a plugins folder next to it

...\Polaris\Binaries\Win64\plugins. That is where the loader looks.

Step 4

Rename the overlay and drop it in there

The overlay's dinput8.dll from the download zip becomes something else in plugins — tekkenoutfits.asi, say. The extension has to be .asi now, not .dll, or the loader walks past it.

Step 5

Do the same for the others

Every other dinput8.dll mod becomes its own .asi in that folder.

Polaris\Binaries\Win64\
  Polaris-Win64-Shipping.exe
  dinput8.dll          <- the loader
  plugins\
    tekkenoutfits.asi  <- the dinput8.dll from the overlay, renamed
    opendojo.asi       <- the dinput8.dll from OpenDojo, renamed

The overlay writes beside itself, so Tekken Outfits\ and tekken_outfits.log are under plugins\ from now on. Outfits you exported or backed up before this are still in the old Win64\Tekken Outfits\ and will not show up in Import until you copy them over.

Step 6

Start the game

Every .asi in plugins now loads. The overlay comes up on its own, and F10 is the default toggle.
