📋 About This Mod

When loading cosave in Racemenu(SKEE)

Adds nullptr check for string ptr

And if it's nullptr, skip the actor’s cosave data

The patched locations are as follows :

- key string in NodeTransformKeys::Load

- key string in OverrideRegistration<StringTableItem>::Load

- morphname string in BodyMorphData::Load

- key string in BodyMorphData::Load

If an error occurs and the actor save data is skipped, changes of the actor by NiOverride may be removed

If mod can reload it after the save load, it will be okay (e.g. OBody, MuSkeletonEditor)

If not reloaded in mod, you may need to reload it manually (e.g. Player customize)

idk exactly why this is happening (even i looked at the cosave file) but we can avoid the crash at save loading

After error occurs

Error message box is displayed

and error log will be printed in the <documents>\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\SKSE\SKEEcosaveLoadCrashFix.log file

This mod does not overwrite any file in the Racemenu(SKEE)

Also does not use codes and files from the Racemenu(SKEE)

Just inject additional code during runtime

Please do not bother Racemenu(SKEE) modder to fix this

Q. I want to know if my crash belongs to this type

A. Look at the crash log if crashed during save load. and see the exception log

e.g. Unhandled exception "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION" at 0x7FFB4D725292 skee64.dll+0075292  and rax,

In this crash type like displayed skee.dll with Unhandled exception "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION", this mod will fix it

Crashes related to skee.dll that are not applicable to the fix in this mod :

- It does not show skee.dll with an Unhandled exception even if skee.dll appears in CALL STACK

- Crash during game and not during save load

Easy explain :

- If a crash occurs during save load and the crash log shows skee.dll, this mod fixes it
