Yes i am using Pathfinder... Hmmmm thankyou

I think if you're using Pathfinders. It causes some type of error that makes a crash, I checked my crash log and got this.

[2459.87] Warning: Warning, Failed to load 'AdventScout.Textures.Adv_Scout_Helm_NRM'! Referenced by 'WOTC_AdventPathfinder_Cosmetics.Materials.AdventPathfinder_Helmet' ('XComGame.XComGameState_GameTime:CurrentTime').
[2459.87] Warning: Warning, Failed to load 'AdventScout': Can't find file for package 'AdventScout' while loading NULL

Not entirely sure what it means, for AdventScout. As I just came here on a hunch to see maybe if this mod needed an update, and I see others talking about this same issue I found in my crash logs. So maybe its something to do with this? It also has multiple other cosmetic pieces besides the helmet preset, like Arms, Torso, etc.

it's causing crashes for unfortunately. AML is not showing any conflicts :( Not using any Long war or anything.

Thank you for helping out!

@b9thirty99
I still use it.

Do I still need this mod? I have a highlander mod too

@Garlan
Possibly. I'd recommend a binary search, it's surprisingly quick.

@Dragon32 I do not have LWOTC installed but I do have some mods that take stuff from that mod. Like perks and weapons. Could those be the source of the issue?

@Garlan
I think ADVENT Scouts are added by Long War of the Chosen

This seems like the place to ask. I have this mod installed along with a ton of others, but still can't start the game because it tells me it's missing package AdventScout. How can I tell what mod I have to add or get rid of?

ok. That's good to know.

@TreeHouse Mike
It's still needed

Would this mod be useful still? Have they not updated the game so mods can use particle effects?

@Zach
Do you mean "Missing Packages Fix - Parcels and Maps Edition"? They're different and distinct.

Is this mod needed if using the Parcels and Maps edition mod? Unsure if that one is inclusive or is *just* for maps and etc

So, I'm not sure why, but I'm still missing my weapon mods even when this is loaded.

@joerg.meltzer
OK. Bummer

@Dragon32
I'm also having the plasma bullpop crashes with Odd's '22 modpack (minus a lot cosmetics) list. I don't have the strongest hardware, so maybe that's the added ingredient. I'd think many players wouldn't be able to pinpoint a crash to one of the n hundred mods they have installed.

The characteristics for the bullpop crashes are pretty specific. If it can be fixed as in this mod I'd appreciate it.

does this mod still work?

@zin
As I said below, I doubt it's this mod alone causing that. It's loading some Firaxis FX assets not loaded by default. Maybe you have a mod that changes one of those assets?

This mod causes crashes with beam weapons and plasma weapons, specifically during zoom-in animations such as Overwatch or whenever the camera shows the cinematic of you shooting the enemy. I’m not the only one judging from comments on this mod as well as the Reddit post below.

Because this mod add more FX, so naturally this mod will lower your FPS, if you have low end pc or laptop or console, i would not recommend this mod

I Just finished my campaign with over 1208 mods this one included. Thank you for putting this up / Ps. this is satire i have no idea if this works or not.

Just finished a campaign with about 685 mods, this one included, and had no major issues! Thanks for putting this up.

@walt.bustamante
Not meaning to say you're wrong or mistaken, I'm sure that disabling this mod has fixed your crashes. I just don't believe this mod alone is the cause.

@walt.bustamante
I haven't had anything like that whilst using this mod. It's got ~200K subscribers and a CTD when shooting DoT ammo would lead to a lot more reports than just one, IMO.

@Dragon32

had a debugging session with another user who wad the same issues, after i removed it the crashes stop, but since the other player is running ABA cant remove it on its campaign.

they're quite frequent once you reach plasma tier and can happen also from enemy shots if theyre able to proc a dmging status effect, best way to test them its with a Battlelord skirmisher and a guardian specialist.

the conflict its not drvers or specs related as we discarded those as well.

@walt.bustamante
I haven't experienced that with Venom or Dragon rounds.I don't use mods that add the others.

This Mod causes Issues when you reach Plasma Tier, crashes the game with ammo that proc dmging status like venom, fire, elerium, acid.

seems to be ok with passive ammo bonuses.

had to remove along with Even more maps to finally remove the crashes.

Just finished a campaign with about 280 mods, this one included, and had no major issues! Thanks for putting this up.

compatible with lw2?

Devs did there homework on this game. The original UFO released back in the early 90s had those effects missing as well. Good to see mods putting the missing content in. Good job!

This mod isn't tagged with WotC. Made it hard to find.

Alright, I may have found a fix. Reloading save causes this bug to disappear.

please can someone tell me how to fix that horrible fx bug with skirmishers kal bullpup ?

@Mechie:
Probably. Mods that use the packages this mod adds should've added this as a dependency but maybe not all will have.

do i need this?

I just completed a WOTC campaign with 104 mods including this one. It all went well (as much as I noticed).

I also have this problem

I've had this mod enabled since, I think, it was released without ever seeing that problem. Have you followed standard Mod Troubleshooting advice?

Seconded, only the Skirmisher bullpup does it with this fix installed

I have a strange problem and I think it's related to this mod. I have a bullpup glitch like this here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xcom/comments/7pnhbq/bullpup_glitch/
Strangely after disabling your fix mod the muzzle flash works fine. How to fix it pls? I don't want to disable this fix because it's needed for another mods.
P.S. I have more tham 1300 hours in this game with this mod and I have never hat this issue. It occurs nly now after couple of months of break.

had added a bunch of mods and started to get glitches and hangs whenever units with custom assets (weapons, mostly) would move, sometimes hanging for several minutes. this seems to have sorted me out quite nicely. thanks mate

There seems to be something screwy with my textures, and this mod isn't fixing it for some reason. Certain character/accessory mods, such as the Genji Squadmate one for WOTC, are showing up as featureless grey and purple. Don't suppose you have any idea what I can do to fix this?

without this mod, you'll get horrible missing textures for the mods that require it

What happens if you try to run any of the mods that have this mod as a dependent, without this one activated? Is it mod-breaking, or just losing some visual effects? Asking because when I run WotC with this mod my framerate is 8-15 FPS, without it stabily at 60 FPS

I am 90% sure this doesn't need updated, it's a resource pack

@Arkhangel for me it does, i crash on loading a save and it only happens when running this mod

Any idea how to fix the Kal-7 bullpup muzzle flashes FX ? Got the same problem as Mr.Ninjah and elepantintheroom.

@Cynder: no it doesn't. since i've used both together for a long time.

this mod seems to break the game when used with the resistance firearms mod.
