(Solved) Manipulator "RM-Cosmetic" Is Broken. SSEUI 60FPS Patch overrides RM

[libertyordeath]

I always say "Don't change too many things at once, or you end up searching for the needle in a haystack." Well, that only works if you notice issues right away. In this case it's about a feature i rarely use. So i have no idea when this bug was introduced.

 

"The Manipulator" has a feature where you can point at any NPC, go into the MCM and select "Racemenu Cosmetic". You can then change basic scalers and overlays, but not stuff like hair or skin. Basically it's the vanilla surgeon feature, but for NPCs.

It worked until at least 2 months ago - which is when i last used it. Now instead i get this:

 

Not only is it totally borked, but also unrespnsive: No clicks work and all keys are locked out - not even ESC works. Console is the only key that works, so at least i can quit the game that way.

 

I have changed nothing about racemenu - neither the version nor configfile - so that's excluded. My next thought was UIExtensions, since i recently replaced its ESP with a fixed one. So i switched back to the old V1.2.0 package: No difference.

 

Does anyone have an idea where to look, or do i need to go through the haystack by disabling one mod after another?

This looks like some kind of initialization failure. Things I'd start with:

1. Racemenu's files are in a BSA, so conflicts wouldn't show up in MO2. Manually make sure there's nothing else providing this file: interface\racesex_menu.swf. This includes looking through all BSA files that may load after RM's BSA. If In doubt about the BSA files, extract this file from RM's BSA, loose files always override BSA archives as you know.
2. There's a setting (or settings) in Engine Fixes that affect ScaleForm. Change them all one at a time to see if you get results.
3. Does the Papyrus log have anything to say?

Current MO2 versions have an experimental feature to autoinspect BSAs when generating the virtual filetree. It makes RAM usage explode, so i had it disabled. Should have enabled it right away when checking for conflicts.

 

SkyUI 60 FPS patch overwrites the SWF you mentioned. Changed the filename by postfixing ".disabled". Now Racemenu Cosmetic works.

 

Thank You!
