Things I tried so far:

- re-downloaded (yesterday) and repaired my Vis+ installs -> rebooted my computer and tried again

- ran Cathedral texture optimizer over my loose texture files

I am at a complete loss now

Just for clarification: I assume you wan't  me to run this test with the faulty nif present, right? (I have removed the erroneous entry in that nif, however; I can just drop the original one into the load order. No Problem).

Yes please.

Great. Now we have the warning message:

Thanks for all the testing under adverse circumstances.
