📋 About This Mod
This plugin was created for Burning Skies SSE(deleted) and Play as a dragon SE,
but it may also work with other mods.
What is this?
This plugin fixes crashes that occur the moment the player switches to an attack stance (combat mode) when playing as a monster race.
The issue is triggered when the GetShieldObjectSlot function returns a value outside the valid range of an array. This happens during the RightHandWeaponDrawHandler process, leading to a CTD.
This plugin resolves this issue by skipping the problematic section when an out-of-range value is returned.
How to verify (without other mods)
Open the console and type: setrace (e.g., setrace dragonrace)
Enter an attack stance.
Without this mod: Almost always results in a CTD.
With this mod: No CTD.
This bug fix plugin resolves a crash that occurs when attacking with a monster race. It is a small, targeted fix with high community approval (9,734 endorsements) and frequent updates, making it essential for players using monster races.
