Freeze When Exiting Trade Session with WIthers

[WDF00]

I am using mod "Trade With Withers" having enabled both the base mod plus the optional addon "AIO", which stocks Withers with lots of items. This worked fine until Patch#6 became active.

Problem Description: After a trading session, independent of whether or not items were exchanged, exiting the session returns to the expected conversation menu. Clicking "Leave" results in no action with the character held in place (freeze-like). The game does not respond to "escape" and does not allow quitting normally.

Troubleshooting: With only the base mod installed, conversation exits normally. The AIO option (which adds the items I am interested in acquiring) results in the problem.

The mod author believes the issue is caused by the Script Extender (see Bug Report on mod page): [https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/2458?tab=bugs]

I had the same problem. And it's not just the base Trade with Withers AIO - even the mods that were created by another to work with the Trade with Withers mod (for food and jewelry) don't work.

It's something about giving Withers his own vendor inventory that seems to be the problem. You've always been able to trade with Withers, like you can trade with a lot of NPCs in game, the base Trade with Withers mod just gives him more gold to buy your stuff. But something about giving Withers inventory of his own, not just what you sell him, seems to break the function.

I did say that this is 100% on script extender but later added that I'd wait for script extender to push some more updates to troubleshoot/debug the mod. Everything worked fine before the update and debugging this with no errors is going to be a guessing game.

Edit: I'm pretty sure that you can't trade with withers without the mod. Never had the option to do so before making the mod.

I noticed that attempting to trade with Volo in camp results in a freeze. That implies that the issue is with trading in camp. I am using Trade with Withers, but not AIO and consistently am unable to exit the trading session.

This is why I want to wait a bit before trying to figure out what's going on. Similar issues reported here as well:

Edit: Please update Improved UI if you're using it and let me know if it fixes this issue.

I've got Improved UI, fully updated, and it doesn't make any difference.

Seems like this is a vanilla bug:

As others already said, this is/was in fact a vanilla bug, not SE related.
