  • Details (Providing reproduction steps helps us):

After the August 22, 2025 hotfix, exiting the mod manager and returning to the home screen, the game experiences infinite slowdown, almost freezing completely. It doesn’t matter if any mod changes have been made; simply entering and exiting the mod manager causes this issue. The only way to resolve this issue is to disable all mods or close with force shutdown (Ctrl + Alt + Del) and reopen the game.

I’m also having this issue. I had to hard exit the game and restart it.

I am as well having this issue. I have tried different things to fix it but so far with no luck:

Validating/Fixing on Steam

Deleting/Uninstalling all mods

Deleting photos from photo mod to decluter

After this, the home screen still lags tremendously, even though both Character Creation and Mods work fine once you’re in.

Thank you

Having the same problem also. I posted a short video in discord on community tech help a few minutes ago which shows the issue. It also shows that when i go to option and click go back, the lobby screen is back to normal speed.

Got the same issue. Yesterday it was working fine and today the home screen glitches, super slow, nothing moves. The only way around it is to click on ‘continue’ and it smooths again :sweat_smile:
