Compression error causing failure to load saved characters

[aftff]

Heyhey, first of all thank you for this tool, it has been a great help when it comes to gposing with friends or helping them troubleshoot.

For a few weeks now (give or take 3) I've been running in to this error when importing saved characters on brio actors(have tried different ones with no success) in gpose.
Error seems fairly random, sometimes I save a character ( Miqo'te in mostly vanilla outfit ) and it works fine, then a few minutes later they change up minor things, I save it again and the character fails to load or they switch to a different race and suddenly that race does load or does no longer load. I've not had this issue before and the only differences I've been able to find are either the Mare mod compressions or the glamourer update of a few weeks ago. Exporting the snapshot as a PMP, enabling that in high priority and then applying the character + outfit through glamourer works fine. I've tried saving the files on different drives, and even ran a windows file scan in-case something was the matter there but haven't been able to resolve the issue by myself.

The only other error I can find in my system would be a Palette error, just sharing it in-case it could be of use.

Thanks in advance and happy holidays!

After some testing from my side found the issue is in IpcManager.cs. Specifically the two lines 384 and 385 are causing it to fail, if you comment them out or remove them and recompile the issue with loading snaps is resolved, but will require a new snap to be taken.

// ignore transparency
//bytes[88] = 128;
//bytes[89] = 63;

Not sure if this breaks anything else as I haven't had the chance to go over the full code.

I'm not subscribed to XIV at the moment so I can't test for myself, but I'll take 'makes it work for the normal use case' over 'pretty much broken'
