@Avocamentum where would I find this list? "mods that cause problems"
Avocamentum 26 Mar, 2023 @ 12:27pm 
FWIW this mod is on lists "mods that cause problems" with a known bug

Also, author -bg- is thanked in "[WOTC] Dude, Where's My Loot?" which is the updated mod to fix said bug, linked below by =[NK]= Col. Jack O'Neil Cheers

One Steam tag should be sufficient!

War of the Chosen

NOT war of the chosen!
NOT WotC!

When I disabled just this mod but kept other 121 mods enabled, or when I disabled ALL mods, the game would crash when loading the save.

Fortunately, I was able to load an autosave from a previous turn and finish the mission normally, and I was able to deactivate the mod and load a save while on Avenger.

I have the bugged save and the mod list on hand, in case you want to debug it.

Just in case I'm gonna keep it disabled and remove it from the Core Collection.

I've experienced a weird issue while using this mod. During a tactical mission, on one of the turns the game suddenly started hanging hard when I tried selecting one specific soldier. I could select other soldiers just fine, but tabbing or clicking on that one particular soldier had caused the game to freeze and become unresponsive with no useful messages in the log.

I've done binary search and isolated this one mod.

When I disabled all my other mods except this one, the save would load fine, but the game would freeze when selecting that soldier.

@SlamminX3
Do you mean they actually won't load or that there's a warning message? Use "Remove Missing Mods" to unbind mods from a savegame
OnlyDaz 17 Mar, 2022 @ 7:50am 
Can't seem to deactivate/remove this mod. If I do, my saved games do not load. Anyway around this?
Rossocuore 23 Jan, 2022 @ 2:22pm 
I am pretty sure I didn't loot a mind controlled Archon when I completed the mission. So I wonder if this mod is still working :-(
Riekopo 19 Dec, 2021 @ 3:34am 
does need update?
KnightOwlToo 23 Oct, 2021 @ 8:34pm 
@Juliett Was just gonna post the same sentiment. (It's still an awesome mod)
Dr. Degenerate 18 Sep, 2021 @ 4:51pm 
Great idea for a mod but didnt work for me. Couldn't loot him and I didnt get anything post mission
Coven of Owls 31 Aug, 2021 @ 6:24pm 
Would be awesome if this could fix Haywire Protocol as well.

Is there something similiar for hacked robots or andromedon shells available?
Sinapus 21 Jan, 2021 @ 8:34am 
Well, that explains why I didn't get a Gatekeeper shell when my psi operative used dominate on it and I killed it before ending a mission. Going to try this out. Hope it works on in-progress games, since I started a new one recently. No psionics yet so hopefully that'll be enough.

Mod doesn't work.
Tim_ 8 Oct, 2019 @ 5:36pm 
I just completed a WOTC campaign with 104 mods including this one. Never tested this situation in this campaign, but the game remained stable with this mod included.
⚡Judge Zed⚡ 6 Mar, 2019 @ 4:16pm 
Sweet! What an annoying bug this is, ty!
RedDobe 24 Sep, 2018 @ 4:06pm 
Is it possible that this mod could affect mod controlled Xcom soldiers? I just was playing the Blacksite mission and had one soldier remaining. He grabbed the blacksite vial and was carrying it when the Warlock mindcontrolled him. He was captured but I ended up getting the Blacksite vial on the mission summary screen. So now that mission is complete. That wasn't supposed to happen!
CaptainSnafu 2 Jul, 2018 @ 4:24am 
thx,without this,everytime i control a enemy, i got to wait for it to wake up so that i can get its stuff
Lady Silentice 7 Jun, 2018 @ 11:14am 
Anyone else got a bug with mind control/hacked units?
Whenever a unit gets controlled by a different team it always allows me to move it during the enemy turn
Units mind controlled through hacks rewards are controlled by the AI during the enemy turn and myself during my turn...

Help appreciated

Thanks for the update, -bg-
Jersee 30 Dec, 2017 @ 12:19pm 
I've had the same issue happend with a MC'd ADVENT Officer, still didn't kill it before ending the mission, so it doesn't appear to apply only to mechanical enemies
-bg-  [author] 29 Dec, 2017 @ 7:02pm 
ok i think it might have something to do with photobooth causing the end loot to occur twice
Jersee 29 Dec, 2017 @ 6:22pm 
Still possessed, not killed, they weren't the last unit to deal with as I killed a soldier before ending the mission
-bg-  [author] 29 Dec, 2017 @ 5:48pm 
ok so did you kill them after you mc them or still mc when mission ends
Wealthy Aardvark 29 Dec, 2017 @ 5:41pm 
@JerC, yes, I've noticed similar problems before with Andromedons.
Jersee 29 Dec, 2017 @ 4:23pm 
I'm not sure if this is the reason, but I ended up with 2 Sectopods wrecks after hacking one at mission end when there was only that one.
moohasha 28 Dec, 2017 @ 6:16pm 
FYI this mod doesn't show up if you search with the WOTC tag selected. Might want to add that for easier searches.

@Dragon32
I'm not using it Stop my time
But there are accelerations
I don't know which mod
Dragon32 28 Nov, 2017 @ 10:09am 
@大魔王:
No, you want to enable Zip Mode for that.
花兔 27 Nov, 2017 @ 5:20pm 
Will this MOD accelerate the animation?
-bg-  [author] 1 Nov, 2017 @ 9:23pm 
Ya don't do that debug on tactical, you might cause more issues and not able to pinpoint the mod.
Dragon32 1 Nov, 2017 @ 1:28pm 
It's not something I do generally, just as part of attempting to debug this issue. Whenever I disable mods in a running campaign I'll do that on the Avenger.

But for assembling mid-mission saves for an issue like the below I'd've thought it'd be better to minimise the mods associated with the save file. That would mean the mod author would have a fighting chance to load the thing without also needing to subscribe to a load of mods.
-bg-  [author] 1 Nov, 2017 @ 12:50pm 
A general practice is NOT disabling any mods on tactical, it can cause a lot of unexpected problems.
-bg-  [author] 1 Nov, 2017 @ 12:49pm 
this mod uses a custom xcomgamestate_effect so you cant disable this mod on tactical.
Dragon32 1 Nov, 2017 @ 12:37pm 
DIsregard this and accept my apologies.

I'd managed to reduce the active mods for this save from ~250 to 2 (this and the map pack) and so assumed that this mod was the issue. What I didn't mention was that I couldn't get the save to load without this mod loaded. I believe that's because there's a loot pickup on the ground.

It was late here when I posted so I forgot to mention this crucial fact.

There's been a number of reports of this and a recent Reddit post indicates that the "WOTC Nice Mission Debriefing" needs to be disabled before the battlescape is loaded. I'd just disabled it when on the mission.

I'm going to see if I can do some more testing to come up with a decent test save for atamize.

I think it's just a coincidence that led me to point the finger at this mod, apologies again and I hope I haven't wasted your time.
Dragon32 31 Oct, 2017 @ 4:14pm 
This is really weird.

I've encountered an issue with the Hunter not spawning on missions. I go into more detail in this General Discussion - Has anyone seen the Hunter..?

I've got a test save (it's on a plot from Even More Maps) and whittled it down to just two mods this one and EMM. The Hunter still doesn't spawn. I've cleared out my config so it's not an issue there.

Here's the save, simply End Turn and the camera should pan to the back of the UFO, where the Hunter should appear. But he doesn't.

It's interesting that they didn't address this in their fall patch.
Tyrant 29 Sep, 2017 @ 9:18am 
minor thing, could you add the word 'Fix' to the mod title? this is one of the few fixes that doesn't actually do that.
Miko - Heroic Studio 28 Sep, 2017 @ 6:07am 
I have to say, it is remarkable how much better WoTC has become because of all the hard work -bg- and other modders have created for the game. A huge thanks for this and your other mods, -bg- and hope you are able to keep doing so. Again... thank you.
Player 16 Sep, 2017 @ 6:08pm 
Another great fix!
Wizu 15 Sep, 2017 @ 11:28am 
Yeps it is! <3
HoltKezed 15 Sep, 2017 @ 6:26am 
@Wizu/@-bg- the skill description is hidden now? :eleven: :p2aperture:
Wizu 15 Sep, 2017 @ 12:18am 
BEST UPDATE EVER! OMG -BG- IS A GOD AMONG MEN!
Wizu 13 Sep, 2017 @ 12:09am 
Soooo, uhhh... update plox? Almost half tempted to try to learn modding just because of the LocLongDescription thingy. OCD and all that. =P
echoMateria 11 Sep, 2017 @ 11:30pm 
Cool, I was just about to make a comment about the same thing. https://i.imgur.com/SG1bRjx.jpg Would be very happy to see that fixed. Thanks for all your mod, really appreciate all these fixes.
-bg-  [author] 8 Sep, 2017 @ 1:17pm 
oh crap, I forgot that wotc now shows all these character based skills there now, I will hide it next update
Wealthy Aardvark 8 Sep, 2017 @ 12:58pm 
Follow up: all of my soldiers now have a new skill, " Missing 'LocFriendlyName' for 'MindControlDeathListener' " with the description " Missing 'LocLongDescription' for MindControlDeathListener' "
