"Failed to initialize LOOT". Vortex 1.9.12

[thetraveler436]

I received an "Update extensions" notice when I started Vortex this morning. I restarted Vortex as normal and received an error message: "Failed to initialize LOOT".  It appears LOOT is broken for my Steam .1170 Skyrim SE/AE mod order.  I last ran Vortex yesterday and have changed nothing. Here are the details:

Error: libloadorder failed to create a game handle. Details: Failed to parse ini file, error at line 24, column 14: doesn't support inline comment: Libloadorder error

Not sure if you're the same user as I spoke to on Discord, but this is likely a corrupted Fallout4Custom.ini, delete the file and restart Vortex.

Nope. Not I on Discord. Interestingly, it seems to have resolved itself. The error on start-up is gone although I've changed nothing to fix it. Cheers.
