I don' even know how incompatibility between "SpecialK", "TBOI:R" and mod "External Item Descriptions". about specialk HOT 4 OPEN

Disable Special K's texture cache feature as a start, then restart the game.

If that doesn't work, apply the compatibility profile from SKIF (right click SpecialK.ini in the app) which also disables a couple of other random components that may or may not be relevant.

I’ve created an issue on the mod’s side. The author of the mod has no idea why this happens and hadn’t implemented any antipiracy or anti cheat in the mod that could be tripped by Special K.

What even does that mean?
You're not of the impression that SK has anti-piracy, are you?

It tends not to work in pirated games, but that's because it uses SteamAPI features that cracked games do not support.

It's unlikely I will be able to help you with this, as I see no source code repository for that mod. I'd review the code if there were one.

I meant that the Mod could have had some anti-piracy or anti-cheat code that would get activated by the injection from Special K, but that was not the case.
This is the Github repo of the mod.
I also didn't had time to test if fixes provided by Aemony work. When I find some time, I will check those and get back to you. For now, just ignore this issue :/
