Description
- The bug
- Interesting NPCs moved a vanilla NPC (LvlOrcMelee, "Orc" , Base Form ID: 0x1E7BB, Reference Form ID: 0xD1F56) from RiftWatchtowerExterior03 to RiftWatchtowerExterior01.
- For some reason, this often causes an a game freeze the second time you visit the Snapleg Cave, Rift Watchtower area.
- If you fast travel to the Snapleg Cave area, you might encounter an infinite loading screen.
- If you approach the Snapleg Cave area on foot from certain directions, you might encounter a freeze.
- When you exit Snapleg Cave, you might also encounter an infinite loading screen.
- It doesn't happen all the time or to everybody.
- In earlier versions of Interesting NPCs, this issue was hidden because the mod didn't include ONAM records, which prevented this edit from appying.
- In recent versions of Interesting NPCs, this bug surfaced because ONAM records are now saved correctly:
- Interesting NPCs started using SSEEdit instead of Wrye Bash to flag the 3DNPC.esp as ESM.
- SSEEdit correctly saves the ONAM records for ESM plugins, Wrye Bash did not.
- This bug can be reproduced via the following console commands from the main menu:
- coc SnapLegCaveExterior
- coc whiterun
- coc SnapLegCaveExterior
- The cause took me 3 days of extensive testing to figure out.
- This bug still exists as of Interesting NPCs v4.54, October, 2024.
- The fix/mitigation
- I created an override of 0xD1F56 in a different plugin.
- I also marked 0xD1F56 as persistent just to be sure.
