[Bug]: The interactive icon disappears

[JJgug]

What happened? (Actual vs Expected Behavior)

Several players on Nexus have reported the same issue.
I'm summarizing the situation here and providing all the information you need to troubleshoot the bug.

1. The mod list also contains QuickLoot IE, Better Third Person Selection, Edge UI, Oblivion Interaction Icons, etc.
2. I always have this problem around the first 50 minutes. If you frequently die and reload the game, this problem will occur faster.
3. After the problem occurs, exit to the main page, load other archives or start a new game, the problem still exists
4. Completely exit the game and reload it, this problem will disappear
5. After the problem occurs, only some interactive icons and prompt messages disappear visually, and all functions are normal
   The disappeared content can be seen in the figure below:

What mods for icons where you using, if any?

No response

Steps to Reproduce

In fact, I still don't know exactly how it's triggered.
I always notice this issue around the 50-minute mark.
I suspect it has something to do with game loading (save file loading or house loading)

Version

3.0.0

What Skyrim version are you using?

1.5.97

Thanks for providing reproduction steps for this issue. I'm pretty confident that this isn't caused by us though, at least not directly. It looks like it's the BTPS 3D widget and the HUD menu that are disappearing for you, neither of which we interact with directly. Have you checked with Shrimperator whether this is a known issue with BTPS?

I assume that the loot menu also stops popping up when the issue occurs, but that would likely just be a consequence of the missing crosshair. If the crosshair never focuses on a container then naturally the loot menu won't open. I'm also curious whether this only affects third person or whether it also happens during first person play / persists if you switch to first person after it starts. Next time it happens, please immediately pause the game and make a copy of your QuickLoot IE log so I can check the last notes written to it.

When the issue occurred, the loot menu was working fine. (So for a long time I didn't realize QLIE had anything to do with this issue)
This problem affects not only the third person, but also the first person. No matter how the perspective is switched, the problem will not disappear as long as the entire game process is not ended.

I will upload the log to you next time the problem occurs.

In another mod pack of mine, where the other UI mods are almost identical, I use QLIE 2.0 instead of the latest version, and this problem has never occurred. I will also roll back QLIE to version 2.0 to see if the problem can be reproduced, so I want to ask if it is safe for my save files if I go back from QLIE 3.0 to QLIE 2.0?

[AtomCrafty]

Reverting to 2.0 on an existing save file is not advised as it will almost certainly mess up the MCM. Version migration only works in one direction.

If you want to try it anyway, make sure to delete all references to QuickLoot from your save file with Resaver.

Welp, that is less helpful than I was hoping for. No irregularities as far as I can see, but I guess that makes sense considering you mentioned that QuickLoot continues to work correctly.

It looks to me like this effect is caused by a different mod and the presence of QuickLoot is merely the catalyst. Maybe another mod's QLIE compatibility code is broken, causing parts of the HUD to disappear. Then again it doesn't seem like the HUD menu is gone entirely. According to the screenshot just the message list disappears, plus the BTPS selection widget. Other parts of the HUD menu, like status bars in the bottom left remain visible.

I honestly don't have the slightest idea what could be causing this, but I'm fairly confident that it's not any of our code. Could you check whether the issue still occurs with the 4.0.0 preview build? Upgrading should be safe on existing playthroughs, but downgrading back to 3.4.1 will mess up your settings (should be good after restoring to defaults though).

the issue still occurs with the 4.0.0 preview build.
I've noticed that players who have modified Nolvus6's QuickEE to the latest version of QuickIE are generally experiencing this issue. This might be caused by an incompatibility between QuickIE and a mod in the mod pack (this mod might not be BTPS). I'm not sure which mod it is.
At this point I will consider reverting to 2.0.0 or QuickEE to continue my save.
(Yesterday's test also found that when the problem occurs, when learning the dragon language on the dragon language wall, the dragon language name that should appear in the center of the screen will no longer appear).

Regarding version downgrade, after I use resaver to clear the residual scripts, can the negative effects of version downgrade be completely avoided?

[AtomCrafty]

Thanks for confirming and for the additional information. I'll try reproducing the issue myself.
After removing all references mentioning QuickLoot or QLIE from the save file you should be fine reverting to any version. I'd also recommend deleting the SKSE\Plugins\QuickLootIE folder since it contains saved setting that might not be fully compatible with previous versions.
