Just curious what the issue was and what was done to fix it.

I believe this has something to do with where the DLC will be found after cleaning them with xEdit via MO. Sometimes a copy is made and found in the 'overwrite' folder and sometimes the actual file is edited and found there, resulting in no plugins in the Data folder.

 

TBH, I'm not 100% convinced drive speeds are the root cause but there does seem to be some correlation.

Has Tannin made any comment on this or was it not brought to his attention?

[GrantSP]

I haven't asked because I'm not sure what exactly is the story. @DoubleYou seems to be the one with more info on that.

Whatever it is, it will change with the next hook, so really no need to address it.
