STEP Extended causes no main menu load on startup

[swiftfoxmark2]

So I've got the STEP Extended ESP in my load order and when I have it activated, the main menu doesn't appear when I load Skyrim.  I just get the non-spinning emblem and no music.

 

I haven't been able to isolate the conflicting mod just yet, but I wanted to know if this was an issue that anyone else had and with what mod?

I can't say what causes it but I can say that a number of people have been experiencing this lately...

Are you running full STEP Extended?

Can you share your enblocal.ini, skyrim.ini and skyrimprefs.ini

I can't say what causes it but I can say that a number of people have been experiencing this lately...

I can say I've been asked a few times from various people as well, but no-one who is running a pure SR:LE build. Has one or more of the STEP mods been updated recently that is not in SR:LE? Might be a good starting place to look. All I can confirm is SR:LE is working as intended far as I am able to tell on my own machine.

I'll see if I can figure out what was causing this. I installed a few mods on top of SR:LE and REGS + PerMa and reordered things a bit and was having this issue thought I'd disabled all the non-guide mods but apparently not.

I am wondering if its the latest version of Cutting Room Floor.  I'll do some tests tomorrow and see if it works with just its masters in place.  If not, then I think it is Cutting Room Floor since that is the only master mod that was updated since the last time STEP Extendeed was updated.

It appears that the conflict is definitely one of STEP Extended's masters.  I can't verify which one it is since removing any of them from the load order would cause a CTD.

Remove the STEP Core/Extended patch and that should allow you to remove mods. The CTD is likely due to the patch missing a master.

I also got this problem alltough i don't have the STEP Extended. The game is still running, it's not freezing. The smokeanimations are still there but no menu and i've tried to wait for 30 minutes.
Even the intro works fine, but after that it stops in this state.

Generally this kind of problem is caused by a single faulty esp if I remember correctly. Mine's working. I suggest an esp witch hunt.

Not a CTD on startup.  Skyrim loads fine, just no main menu.

Already on it, trying to root out the bad one.

Hmm, fnis can do some real interesting things sometimes, re-run the patcher and see.

Do the check for errors thing in xedit

Rerunning all patches and trying to figure out the mod that is causing a problem. Tried 40 mods so far, 50 to go.

I think the STEP Extended ESP patch needs to be rebuilt since both AOS and Cutting Room Floor were updated after its latest version release.  Once that is done, I am sure it will work right.

STEP Extended Patch is fine. No problems with it here.

Yet I have an issue with it where the main menu won't show up.  And I've deactivated all other mods save the masters to STEP Extended and it still didn't load the main menu.

 

I've tried older versions of the STEP Extended mod and same result.  So something is breaking it.
