I'm using v2.9.4b without mod its playing surprisingly well however once I've added mods i noticed that during the intro James is invisible and during the part ware you walk into the playpen he is stood in the gate blocking it, using no clipping to get into the pen the dialog plays but he never moves, i have attached the load order used, and hopefully people will be able to help locate the mod/mods that are causing this so it can be posted as a confirmed conflict.
to everyone that will take the time to help i thank you, only discovered this a day ago and really want to help improve it
