Weight Maps or Rigging on All Genesis 8 Figures Suddenly Messed Up?

So lately I've run into a weird problem with posing my Genesis 8 figures. Figures I used to be able to pose fine now suffer from serious distortion on anatomy when posing, especially with things like arm flexing poses. This is true even when I load a new Gen8 Devload into the scene, and has affected all my saved figures and scenes retroactively. A whole bunch of my characters are no longer useable.

I've attached an image example; on the left is the original render I did before this problem happened. On the right is the result I get now. This deformation is visible as soon as I load the scene.

Does anyone know why this happened and how I can fix it? I've tried using the Install Manager to uninstall, delete, and re-download the Genesis 8 Male Starter Essentials and it hasn't helped.

I would suspect that either some morph is saved with a non-zero default, which would affect even an unposed figure, or a corrective that is meant to kick in for a particular shape has incorectly set ERC and is kicking in regardless. Set up the minimum pose you need to show the effect, go to Currently Used in the Parameters pane, enable Show Hidden Properties in the pane's option menu (the lined butyton in the top corner or right-click the tab), and see what is set - try zeroing things until you find one that makes the issue go away, that is your prime suspect.
