📋 About This Mod
Fixes the flashing savegame entries bug that occurs when trying to save or load a game in the in-game main menu (quest journal).
This bug is present when using SkyUI SE 5. 2 and was fixed in SkyUI SE 6.x.
You don't need this mod anymore when using SkyUI SE 6.x.
The "Creations" update (v1. 6. 1130 and later) introduced new changes to the menu.
If you're on these versions but can't use SkyUI SE 6.x, use SkyUI SE - Difficulty Persistence Fix instead, which includes this Flashing Savegames Fix.
This fix here works for all versions of Skyrim SE and AE before v1. 6. 1130 only.
Background Info:
When enough savegames/characters are present, the list will reload one or several times (depending on the amount), which comes with the thunk-like interface sound.
Compatibility:
-
[]Not compatible with any other mods that edit the interface\quest_journal.swf file, unless they include the fix already.
[
]Files of Complete Widescreen Fix have both the Flashing Savegames Fix and the Difficulty Persistence Fix integrated. - You don't need this mod anymore when using SkyUI SE 6.x.
