📋 About This Mod
Requirement : Address Library for F4SE Plugins (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/47327)
Escape Freeze F4SE"Unfreezes" your game from certain freezes caused by a deadlock during condition checks.If your game freezes (especially during combats) due to that deadlock, this mod will detect it and unfreeze your game in 3-5 seconds.
Noe that this mod doesn't solve infinite loading screens.
Some Technical Details
Reverse engineer Buravo found that ConditonLock, which is located at Fallout4.exe+0x59DA650 and used during BGSEntryPointPerkEntry::CheckConditionFilters, might be the cause of mid-combat freezes.
He created an external program to reset the lock count when a freeze is detected and it worked.
I simply turned his codes into a F4SE dll mod so it can be loaded alongside with the game.
If you could actually identify why it's causing a deadlock situation and fix it, I'll gladly hide this mod.
