# Dalamud v15.0.3.0 to v15.0.3.1 - Public Report Observed: 2026-08-07 13:19 MDT ## Summary Dalamud `15.0.3.1` is a focused API 15 hotfix. The tag resolves to `61a0db84a93fdc0f9bedcd4e07b5ca87c8027812`; the exact range from `15.0.3.0` contains 11 commits and 16 changed files. There is no API-level, SDK, or packager version bump. The main compatibility areas are corrected emote-unlock behavior, removal of the managed MinHook backend, hook-creation reliability, failed-load/manual-retry cleanup, and a ClientStructs update. ## Release State | Surface | Result | | --- | --- | | Dalamud tag | `15.0.3.1` / `61a0db84` | | Post-tag repository changes | none; `master` matches the tag | | Public SDK | `Dalamud.NET.Sdk/15.0.0`, unchanged | | Public packager | `DalamudPackager/15.0.0`, unchanged | | ClientStructs | `8121cbbc`, updated from `cc474ca9` | | Lumina.Excel | `2b285467`, unchanged | The immutable tag appeared before channel rollout completed. By 13:15 MDT, Release and STG both served `15.0.3.1`. Release still reported inapplicable to the current game contract, while STG reported applicable. By 13:19 MDT, Release also targeted the current game and reported applicable. Verify the locally installed runtime before testing. ## What Changed ### Emote unlock checks `IUnlockState.IsEmoteUnlocked` now returns: - `false` for an invalid or missing emote category; - `true` for emotes with no unlock link; - the normal unlock-link result otherwise. Consumers should not need a source change unless they had added local workarounds for those edge cases. ### Hook backend behavior The managed MinHook implementation and its package dependency are removed. Explicit `HookBackend.MinHook` and `HookBackend.Reloaded` values are obsolete; automatic backend selection is the supported path. Plugins that explicitly pass a backend should remove that argument. Ordinary `IGameInteropProvider.HookFromAddress` and `HookFromSignature` usage remains the intended public pattern. ### Signature and plugin-load reliability The internal signature helper now creates hooks through a typed generic path. The loader also cleans resources after constructor/load failures, avoids repeated automatic retries, and keeps manual retry/reload available. These are framework-side fixes. Plugin-local retry or cleanup workarounds should not be added without reproducing a remaining problem on the new runtime. ### ClientStructs The release moves ClientStructs from `cc474ca9` to `8121cbbc` across 117 commits and 129 files. The range includes UI/game state, addon and agent definitions, content directors, group/object managers, gearsets, party-list arrays, layout types, and newly named structures. Plugins that use raw pointers, generated member-function addresses, manual signatures, or assumed struct offsets should run targeted in-game validation. Changed-file volume alone does not prove that a plugin is broken. ## Recommended Validation 1. Confirm the selected channel is applicable to the current game and that `15.0.3.1` is locally installed. 2. Load each hook-heavy or raw-ClientStructs plugin. 3. Exercise hook creation, enable/disable, disposal, and reload. 4. Test constructor/load failure recovery and manual retry if the plugin has a safe test path. 5. Recheck manual signatures and any raw struct views against the current game. Static review or a successful build does not replace in-client validation. ## Sources - - - - - - -
