Fixed in next release!

We have far shorter time loss though ..

Dear @DanielGoehler ,

Please check our latest release v1.461, improvements are made on loading of this specific module. Loading is skipped if the required version is found. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

Kind regards,

[DanielGoehler]

@AdminHodor Yes, it works, nice. Thank you very much!
