I tried to copy the settings from your friends autorigbuilder and got it working. Just manually, not interactively in the viewport. Now there is not the problem of your video with the weird leg-problem anymore.
Only thing now is I've got 1771 controls, and most of them are in the face. If I set them to invisible with the configurecontrols, They disappear in the control for the face as well. Not sure how to fix that.
Also for the hands there are a lot of controls that obfuscate.

HOW? In the file you sent much more seems to work, even the wrinkle maps are visible in the viewport. Unfortunately not when you import in Lops yet. I'm confused. Why does the exact same thing in my case not work and in this file it does?

Hey, a friend of mine actually managed to fix that. There was some parenting issue or something like that. Here is file maybe it can help.
Sometimes I wonder if these things gets tested at all

But under .596 version it gives some warning, .512 no warnings at all. But it seems to be wokring.

Thanks, I'll have a look at that one. I am on 596 but can go back to 512 if needed.
Testing? That's what we're here for no? ;-)
