Open Mouth Emotes Causes Game to Crash, for some reason

[Oddonelynx]

Okay now this is a weird one. Whenever I try to do the rage emote on one of my characters, it crashes my game. This is what's in my Log:
Capabilities:: VertexProgram: YES
Capabilities:: FragmentProgram: YES
Sound:: Initialized: YES
ERROR::SaveFile:loadz: WaterMillGates.cfg failed!
ERROR::SaveFile:loadz: fhPodiumGates.cfg failed!

I uh, don't know what any of this means.

Huh, never encountered with this error here but I don't think any of that would be associated with the issue.
Try replacing the emotes cfg with a backup one and see if it works.
I found a similar problem and this is what the person suggested.

Grrrrrrrrr the Emotes somehow made my Game Crash let me post a Help.>.<

Usually when that happens, it's a specific emote that does it, and it only crashes when you try to use that emote. I had this problem while making some of them, and I think Wacky! might be the offender. Erase that one from your emotes.cfg, save it, then try using the code below again.

[Wacky!]
Sulk=0.25
FrownL=0.80
BrowRaiseR=0.90
SquintR=0.5
ShowTongue=0.86
TongueUp=0.90
LipShrink=1
JawOpen=1
EarPerkL=2
EarDroopR=2
EyelidL=0
EyelidR=1

If it still crashes, then check and see if it's all the emotes, and I'm afraid you'll have to do that one by one by signing on and clicking each emote to see what does and doesn't work. I apologize if the above doesn't fix anything, I don't know why it would still crash afterward. :/

These ones looks like you have duplicated .particle files. Look around in FeralHeart > media > particles, maybe there are some of them.

[Oddonelynx]

None of those worked. <: (
The emotes causing this are default emotes, so removing them would mess up the game even more

Maybe find the rage emote in the cfg you have and copy the rage emote of a backup folder and paste it in the rage emote part of the one you have? it's just something you could try.

Will try, I'll update this post with more

Didn't work sadly, nothing happens when I do any open mouth emotes on any other characters. Just this one, so something must be wrong with the preset. But how can I fix it?

[Garfield.]

That's weird, hmm, try getting the preset off and trying again to see if it's the preset.
Also, hmm, that is pretty weird.. I've never had problems with my preset's mouth so maybe waiting for more suggestions would be the best, I'll see what I can find.

As far as I've searched, the preset problem I've seen, crash the game upon add to the character but haven't seen any problem with emotes.

I don't know what exactly is going wrong, but I have a bit of advice. If any part of an emote(Except the name) is misspelled or doesn't have the right capital letters, it'll crash the game when used. However, I'm not sure if a typo in an emote can cause it to only crash on certain characters. At the beginning of the Emotes.cfg, there is a list showing the emote pieces in the way they are meant to be typed, however that list doesn't include LookLeft, LookRight, LookUp, LookDown, and BiteLip, all of which work in emotes.

[Oddonelynx]

Without the preset, it still crashes, and everything in the emotes is spelled correctly too. Things are not looking good
Update: Okay, now it's happening with the feline model in general! I can't do any emotes involving the mouth opening at all, otherwise it'll crash my game. The canine model characters are fine when I do the rage emote. I tried replacing the fmasks, didn't work. This is super weird!
