Soldier turns into Flying Spaghetti Monster

[spankahontis]

As Crazy as the title suggests.. My Soldier who is a Psi Agent, took a shot, then it reacted like it was being shot at, even heard gunfire noise, but no ADVENT was shooting at her; you also see a message box appear above her briefly saying 'PROTECTED' Then her entire Body jumbles up into a cloud of limbs like a Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Funny to watch, Soldier goes back to normal after the mission.

Mods I have on

• Zhang Voicepack
• Japanese Voicepack
• More Nations and Names WOTC
• Xcom International Voicepack
• Evac All WOTC
• Capnbubs Accessories WOTC
• Extract Corpses WOTC (FEEDBACK: You don't get enough missions that drop corpses)

Happened to me too... but in non LWOTC and i was playing with RPGO, seems to be triggered by psiops scoring a killing blow. But it hasnt happened to me in LWOTC...yet.

[spankahontis]

Seems to only happen with my Psi Op Roya Modrassi. It's happened 3 times with her since then.

Yeah, maybe Psi Op connection?

[DrBots276]

I'm also having this problem, and I it's only soldier that have "the Gift". Do you guys have mods that affect Psi Ops?

[spankahontis]

@DrBots, Every Mod I'm using non-essential is listed above.

All I know is she scores a kill, then she reacts like she is being shot at, that's when she jumbles into a spaghetti monster. Maybe the Capnbubs Accessories? Nothing I have alters animations except Extract Corpses, but that just allows dead aliens to be picked up.

[DrBots276]

Well the same thing happens to me, and I use both of those mods.

Playing modded WOTC (around 150+ mods at the time, including "Evac All - WotC" and "Capnbubs Accessories"-- but not LWOTC) this 'soldier spaghettification' happened to me a few times during tactical gameplay.

I've since completely changed game setup to test the new LWOTC beta 2 with a modlist that I slowly grew from the "essential-required" LWOTC companion mods to then add "LWOTC recommended" and then add other mods up to current modlist (copied below). Now in the last few LWOTC game starts I have intermittently had 'soldier spaghettification' on the launch page. It seems to be a fairly rare event so far. My current LWOTC modlist has "Evac All - WotC" but not "Capnbubs Accessories".

It would be great to figure out what is getting the XCOM personnel all twisted up. Modlist below. Seems LWOTC is not the root cause but it is interesting that the issue has now happened at game launch.

Apparently this is a base game bug.

[Boomjones]

I've been playing beta 2 and had the same bug, though in my case it only happens when a psi op with soul steal uses soulfire, and only about half the time. I'm certain of this as only 1 of my psi ops has soul steal, and that it the only one that's had the issue.

Reloading a save seems to fix it.

[fedupwithbioware]

Had this as well. Will have to upload my mods list and a save game later though.

[belathus]

I have this happen regularly when a Psi Ops with Soul Steal gains life. Perhaps when scoring a kill with Soul Steal.

Fixed in dev 16.
