Opening Options menu freezes OpenMW

For some reason, when I've got the current NCGDMW Lua version (4.3.1 installed from NexusMods on 2025-07-05) enabled on OpenMW 0.49.0, pressing Escape in-game and clicking "Options" to open the ingame settings menu completely paralyzes the OpenMW engine.

OpenMW turns unresponsive to the point of no interaction having any effect, no sound being played and the image being frozen. Additionally SIGTERM signal is ignored. I'm forced to stop OpenMW with SIGKILL.

Other script mods such as your Smart Ammo, don't seem to have this problem. (Granted, I'm using few mods, so low sample quantity.) I'm having the bug occur on new savegames too, so it isn't any kind of savegame incompatibilty.

  • Operating System: Arch Linux
  • OpenMW version: extra/openmw 0.49.0-1 according to pacman, OpenMW 0.49.0 release according to OpenMW Launcher
