(Workaround found) SL Anims Stage Progression Randomly Fails

[libertyordeath]

I've noticed that during sexlab scenes, when pressing the key to advance to the next stage, i see the animation reset and the stagecounter goes up, but the previous animation just keeps playing again. So for example: A sexlab scene begins at stage 1. Everything looks propper. I press space to go to the next stage. The anim resets and sexlab MCM will show we're now in stage 2, yet it plays the anim from stage 1 again.

 

The above behavior seems to be completely random. Sometimes pressing the key to go back a stage, and then go foward again will fix it and play the correct anim. Other times i need to repeat the back-forward thing a few times for it to work. Other times pressing escape to enter the menu, and then returning back to the game will make the scene switch to the right anim.

 

I don't remember this being a problem until a week ago, so if its a mod or setting causing it, then list of candidates thankfully is small.

 

But before i try looking for the culprit and checking logs, i was just wondering if maybe somebody knows this issue, and can point me straight to the solution. If not that's fine too: Like i said the list of potential causes is small, so i can likely fix it myself in a few hours.

Edit: Inspired by Traison's post in another thread, i tried raising my Papyrus Ops/Frame from 600 to 1200 via PapyrusTweaks, and i haven't seen the issue occur since then. If it does still happen, it now seems to be rare enough to be tolerable.

 

So yeah, this has "Race Condition By Papyrus Stress" written all over it.
