NBA 2K27 hack stopped working after the latest update: what do you check first?

Game patches break things, it’s just how it goes. When your tool stops working after an update, what do you check first?

If you’ve sorted it out before, share what worked. If you’re stuck right now, post the patch date, the exact error or behavior, and what you’ve already tried. We’ll answer what we can, and anyone else who’s been through it is welcome to chime in. Please don’t post account logins or keys in here. Product: nba2k27 hack (link 2).
