Thanks for the pointer. This was my guess as well, so i just simply disabled inventory scan in RB2 when stable UI is open. I suspected it is some ZOS thing that i couldn't do too much about.

I'm pretty sure the root cause is not RB2, however the solution to the problem might be inside RB2.

For me it doesn't crash, but switching from Speed Horse to any other horse takes 10 seconds and the game freezes during that time. After 10 seconds, the switch happens and everything is back to normal. I will try to figure out whether there is anything i can do about it.

Regards,

This problem was identified by several other addon authors at some point on the ESOUI forums and they was able to determine this was caused by the fact that when switching mounts with a lot of stuff in your inventory that when switching horse the game goes thru a inventory scan and updates each slot so the more inventory slots that are filled up the longer it will take and more chance of crashing.

Many have tried to fix this but it is a ZOS issue that they need to fix on there side. To test this fill your inventory and run NO addons. Game will crash.

Now mount switching is much faster for me so I guess it wouldn't crash for you. Version 2.1.3b.

This is by far my favorite Research tool thank you for keeping it up. Today I believe the WykkydCoreLibraries updated or something because I can no longer get this addon to work. It comes up with a nil issue. Can you please take a look?
