nah, it's a bad idea to start invasion without using built-in solutions. If you need to start invasion manually change mod settings at game start.

you could try "add_core (state ID) BLA" and then release the black arms as a country. I tried it and I got a similar result as the default invasion. Aka it disappeared as fast as it came in.

Is there a way to manually trigger the invasion via console commands?

might've fixed it

have no idea then, post in comments meta.yml file + errors log

i dont really have any new dlcs

try to play without newest DLCs (gotta...+)

keeps crashing every time theirs another landing

I found the files required and I made a google drive link however I'm not 100% comfortable dropping the link in the middle of a mod comment section, mind if I add you so I can dm the link?

as i said, meta.yml + errors log.
GDrive link or pastebin or something will be fine.

which log do you need? error or exception? Also where should I send it because mine crashed too

anyway if someone really needed in support provide crash logs with meta.yml. I'm not Nostradamus.

I since fixed the actual issue with my game saving issues, reenabled this mod just for it to immediately crash whenever the Black Arms show up

in your case you basically have a game that doesn't work properly.

happens to me aswell

checked on the new version without new DLC, everything works, the problem is on your side

Needs a update now. Game crashes when they spawn.

English & russian

is it in in english?

Shadow in GUN, GUN is on mobius, not on Earth at 1936

Where's Shadow

I think it will just be easier if you add me as a friend, because soon Steam will pay attention to too frequent comments

also sorry if im not being of much help, im jus a lil stressed since i dont wanna lose this save ;w;

"change your capital" mod - I do not know how this mod works, it is possible, but it is unlikely that it is the cause. I'm still not sure if the game crashes because of saves-maybe the crash occurred earlier, but the game somehow postponed it or something. This is if saves work, but not always.

launch arguements?

it did originally do that, but now crashes only occur if i save

Last read lines in meta.yml is only important part of this file

but then again, it DOES crash on vanilla too occasionally-

Another crash can occur due to the creation of divisions with some broken units or if one of the countries performs a focus with a broken effect (a link to a non-existent object, for example), the same applies to many other AI actions, you can also load your "broken" save, disable the AI (ai command in console) and then wait to see if there will be a crash or if it only happens when saving or if it can happen by itself.

i AM using a "change your capital" mod so it could POSSIBLY be due to that actually!

i'll try to do different map modes for saving and see if it fixes anything maybe?

it could also be that im using a GFX mod but i kinda doubt that since it still happens in vanilla

i have the meta.yml here, what should i be looking for?

You know, maybe it's not really about the saves. Try switching between the world map modes - will the crash occur? Sometimes, if there is no explicit indication of the country's capital in new versions, unexpected behavior occurs with a stable random crash in the diplomacy window of some countries, or the game crashes due to the fact that not all victory points are specified in the localization.

What it writes in logs? Meta.yml most interesting

ye, it happens in vanilla.
ive done the previous method youve said and it still (sometimes) does it but more rarely.
sadly though it's bricked my previous save where i've spent two years in 1944 fending off the aliens.
i won and tried to save just for it to crash instantly resulting in me losing everything

My mod might be outdated (but it doesn't seem to be outdated), but it's something new for the game to crash at the time of saving. This is the first time I've seen this in my entire practice. There may also be a directory in the documents where saves are written, blocked for writing in the folder settings, and the game simply crashes without providing for this. In theory, this can happen.

Some unique case, try to roll back to the previous version (1.14) and check it out, or run the vanilla version and check it out. You can also try clearing the cache.
If all else fails, still manually delete all files from the game directory (Steam does not delete anything that is not in the game) and install again. Maybe it will help if you have something with the game files..

ye, the mod itself works fine but my game just crashes everytime i save or autosave.
anyway sorry for bothering you with this ;w;

1. it doesn't matter what he writes, he writes it, because the mod description indicates version 1.14, that's all, the game doesn't check whether the mod works on the new version or not.
2. AI mods usually just change templates for countries and much more, they are unlikely to interfere with the work of this mod

This mod is made as alienated as possible from any game files and in theory will ignore fairly large-scale changes even in the game engine. Because it doesn't change anything that is already there, it only adds a new one.

btw, do you think this would be incompatible with any ai mods?

maybe the mod is just outdated? it does say its intended for 1.14

i fixed it! i entered beta test, verified and then went back to the normal game and everything was fixed! played a game and this mod worked great :3

generally in the file .yml should be more precise about the cause of the crash

if all else fails, then there may be some extra file in the game folder. The fact is that Steam does not delete files that are not in the original game, that is, if you installed a mod by throwing it into the game folder, its contents will not be deleted. Try reinstalling the game completely with manual clear of folder or at least deleting the decision file that the game is complaining about

thank you for trying to help regardless, i appreciate that :D

anyway its really not my mod

try to check local files or get an older|newest game version via beta test, looks like something bad with communistic china decisions. Maybe its too old game version if this decisions uses on_map scopes

says this
"17:43:08][1938.03.03.08][triggerbase.cpp:541]: common/decisions/PRC.txt:1355: controller: invalid event target: CONTROLLER"
i dont think its a problem with your mod sorry, it just constantly crashes my game and idk what to do ;w;
