Would love to hear people's reports with the new 52 version and Jaws of Hakkon dlc!
Does it change anything with mods like the realistic hair one making BE crash or does that issue remain?

Ah finally I can reply (I've been lurking for quite some time lmao).
The new mod manager fixed every issue that I've had! Thank you so much for your continued hard work, Zhentar!
Prior to the new mod manager with the .daimod fix every menu I entered froze the game (inventory, character records, etc.) and I'd have to end process. The Black Emporium would load up for me but I was not able to purchase anything without the freezing. The earlier fix of copying the itemappearance files did fix the freezing issue, but it reverted my Skyhold outfit mod (obviously). Now all mods are working including the smooth hair mod in the mirror and I can open up all menus, craft, etc. I never had an issue with entering the Frostback Basin from JoH but like I said before I just couldn't enter any menus or everything would lock up. Very happy for the fix!~
So far, haven't encoutered any bugs with Mod Manager 0.52, i want to say thank you Zhentar for your hard work!

What race and gender did you use the Mirror on with the smooth hair mod?

I was using my female elf.
Other than Shantia's Complexion 01 and 02, and Increased capacity, all mods are working with no crashes.
Shantia's Complexions still make BE freeze when on the loading screen. So I just go disable those when I go to the BE and then enable them again when I leave.
I'm super thankful for all your work!
I was using my female elf.
Female elves don't have issues with the mod and BE in general. There's also no problems with a female human. The problems so far are with male qunari and humans, at least in my game.
I'm merging a new patch now to see if there are any differences.

Weird considering it was giving me problems prior to this fix, but it's working now so that's all that matters.

Tested again with new patch and game freezes when trying to make a male human go to BE. Weird thing is that even though I could go to the BE before and it would just freeze in the mirror, now I can't even go to the BE at all because it freezes like it did with male qunari. So problem seems to be persisting for the most part
(female elf works fine too, I'm guessing female human as well like before).
On the plus side the realistic hair mod seems to be the only one currently causing problems.

That reminds me, I need to check with the freckled mod I've been using. MAKER i love that mod, and it was crashing BE too.
I will be happy camper if it works again ![]()
I'm running a female elf atm and I can't even enter the BE with her. I'm using realistic hair, ELE's mullet tweaks, Shantia's eyebrows and one of her complexions that I extracted from the original mod and swapped to replace hf_hed_inq so it wouldn't show up on other characters (this may not be the case but it has been my experience that hf/hm_hed_inq textures don't - except default Hawke)
I'm not complaining. I'm sure it will all get sorted but I don't know how race plays into it exactly. I don't think it is as simple as female elves don't have any problems.
Okay, I don't know what's going on with this, now my male qunari is able to load BE but not the mirror?? Agh, why is it not consistent in its bugs x_x.
Shantia's complexions are known to crash the BE. Even though you're not exactly using her mod, you still have her complexion being used, so that might still be your issue.
When we were saying female elves don't have problems, we were specifically referring to Skaramoosh's Hair Texture mod, which has issues based on race & gender of the inquisitor. Other mods like Shantia's complexions, seem to cause issues across the board. I have another complexion mod I'm revvin' up MM .52 for to see if it's also across the board or specific to a Race/Gender combo.

Yeah I just tested with a human male with the smooth hair texture mod and I was able to load up BE but was not able to access the mirror without getting the infinite black screen. Definitely interesting.

Yeah. The races that just don't work with BE & Smooth Hair seem to be consistent: Male Human, Male Qunari, Male Dwarf (and possibly female dwarf, though I don't have a character to test with). Male Elf works, though, so it's not just a female/male thing.
So weeeeeeeird.

What I'm gathering from this is that it's the textures that have the problem, not the meshes. Loading modded hair works just fine, yet the texture mods that affect the face and hair area can have problems :/

Yeah, but why are some race/genders okay and others aren't? Theoretically they're all copied from one another.
One reason the modded hair works just fine is because the BE just disregards them entirely, just like Jaws of Hakkon disregards the mods that make for better item drops. The code just isn't processed by the DLC.
So why does processing the code for modded meshes kill some Inquisitor's BE experience but not others? That's what I'm having trouble figuring out.

Hm, perhaps it's connected to Patch 7 fixing some of the beards for the males? Male elves don't have beard options.

That's actually an interesting thought. The human male I tested did not have any facial hair but presumably since one is able to add facial hair in the BE it is conflicting with the mod.
Hmmm, that's an interesting theory. Now while it's true that only human male beards were changed (i actually took piccies of all three species, but found no differences between P6 and P7 for Qunari or Dwarf males), it is true they all have beards.
Has anyone tested female dwarves yet? They have 'beards' in the form of stubble, but mine is still languishing in pre-meeting-Varric land while i was distracted by other projects for a while. If they hang at the BE, it might be corroboration.

Just created a female dwarf to test this out (I never want to do the prologue again I've done it so many times omg). Went to the BE with just the hair mod installed and was able to load it up fine and edit her. Back to the drawing board it seems. @ _ @
