Looting freezes game after Quick Save/Load?

[fireundubh]

I received a report from a user of my Auto Loot mod that they after 70 hours or so, the game started freezing whenever Auto Loot would run Activate() on nearby loot.

 

• The user found that while disabling Auto Loot seemed to resolve the issue, rapidly spamming the Interact key near multiple objects could cause freezes, too.
   
• The user suspected that using Quick Save/Load had corrupted the save, so the user rolled back to a manual save, enabled Auto Loot, and could not reproduce the freezes.
   
• The user says that he has since played 20+ hours without freezing after returning to the manual save.

 

Quick Save/Load might be getting the game into a bad state and might be worth testing.

 

Ultimately, I think Fallout 4 probably needs a Save Hot Key ArchMod for F4SE, but I have no idea how far along F4SE is now.
