Crashing on Mission Start

[DoctorSlamtasm]

I've got quite a few mods however using the Highlander and Fulton Extraction Mods seem to be crashing it every time I start a mission. if this has already been resolved please show me.

[MalucoMarinero]

we'll need some logs to properly follow this up, ideally coupled with a minimum set of mods required to pull out the crash

[DoctorSlamtasm]

I have a lot of mods so I don't know what might be causing it however I'll send the crash log and anything else you may need

Nevermind I found the problem it was a few outdated and conflicted mods like robojumper's squad menu

[DoctorSlamtasm]

I lied it started working earlier only to do it again

I have been having the same issue - Crash on mission start. It seemed it was related to Squaddie Skills - I started 6 games with this mod and all crashed in the first few missions. I removed it and am now on mission 43, but I am now crashing on this mission.

Also, I just started having a bug where all armors and weapons show up in the loadout screen for every character. I wonder if this is related to the highlander update. I think characters can only equip their allowed gear, but the list is now very confusing.

Please help.

Here is the most recent crash log:

Also, I just started having a bug where all armors and weapons show up in the loadout screen for every character.

Generally, all equipment should be shown, but the items the character can't equip should be disabled. I am guessing this is not working and all items are shown as available.

I believe this is an unforeseen consequence of a change in the 1.6 release that causes interference with outdated mods. It would help if you could do an in-file search in your workshop mod directory for CanAddItemToInventory_CH and list the mods that contain it -- they will need updating to work properly.

@robojumper I'm working on this now

[ukarjohn]

@robojumper I think I don't know how to do the search. I went to D:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\workshop\content\268500 on my computer and searched "in file" for the string you gave, but I got no hits. Can you advise a test to confirm the search was performed correctly? Thanks.

[RealityMachina]

You want to edit Windows Search so it considers .uc files valid text files.

This is a guide for how to do so in Windows 7 if you scroll down to Method 2, though it only needs minimal modification for Windows 10.

@RealityMachina @robojumper Thanks - I got three hits in Highlander, and one each in MetalOverFleshRedux, SPARKLaunchersRedux and LatentPsionicsUnlock.

[ukarjohn]

@robojumper I just tested some - I can still get into the Geoscape; it crashes if I launch a mission. But in terms of equipping, if I try to change equipment in the armory, I still see all armors and weapons (none marked unequippable as they used to be), but it only lets me equip allowed gear.

Is there a way to roll back my Highlander till other mods are fixed? It was working up until 4:20 pm yesterday, and not since. Thank you!

[MalucoMarinero]

@ukarjohn if you're looking to roll back the highlander, unsubscribe to the workshop version and replace it with your desired version: https://github.com/X2CommunityCore/X2WOTCCommunityHighlander/releases

We keep all past build versions of Highlanders there, although the much older ones won't play nice with the recent WOTC patches.

Does this issue serve any purpose at this point? Doesn't seem like it belonged here in the first place. Probably should be closed.
