Game keeps crashing with Baraduls Modlist
Hi there, i have uninstalled and re-installed MW5 over and over again. As soon as I install one of the Mods from the Baraduls collections, the game crashes each time:

Here is the error Message, since I cannot upload any pictures here : https://ibb.co/7JrjnjQ

-upon statring a new carreer in the advanced Carreer Start , after the intro movie and the following loading screen (Loading queue is completed and the in-Game mail screen should appear)
or
-after loading a savegame from the older times, mainscreen comes, but after the first jump in another system, also when the man screen should appear
or
- when starting a new carreer in one of the original carreers, also after the first jump in a new system

This happens for over 2 months now. I also disabled a lot of the mods, all the same. Unless I disable all of them.
Any ideas?

Delete everything, including the files in the %user%/AppData/Local/MW5Mercs and don't blindly use mod collections. Always manually check if all the mods are up to date and whether they have any recent reports of being broken/buggy. Ideally, you might want to have a mod loader utility to be always aware of any conflicts/overrides/overwrites happening

Oh, one more thing, though I have doubts it'll work, but try resetting the graphics settings and NEVER use Ray Tracing and DLSS - turn them off.

Loads of people have been reporting problems. I was curious, so I looked in the discussions tab for the modlist (P.S. always check there first when encountering problems with mods or lists).

Hey Baradul, I'm the modder for Yet Another IS Mech and I just wanted to update you on some mods in this collection that need to get removed to help your game out:

- Cockpit Glass : Modded mechs do not behave well with this and you may find yourself unable to move in first-person view. Yet Another Clan Mech, Legendary Mech, and IS Mech are most affected by this.
- Hellfire and Brimstone (All 3 of them): Using these is breaking Yet Another Weapon as this mod overrides and changes the same files YAW needs to use to function.
- Savage Wolf (Standalone): Already in Yet Another Clan Mech you are also running (same assets). Remove it to prevent conflicts.
- Star Map Mouse Over : This is now a base feature in YAML and is no longer needed.
- Stone Rhino (Standalone): Already a part of the Classic Mech Collection you are also running (same assets). Remove it to prevent conflicts.
- Yet Another Mechlab Mechs : Replace with the Maintenance Fork on Nexus.

Got it to work.
The Steam workshop has extremely outdated Mods. I downloaded them with vortex again and all is working now.
BUT
I get a Fatal error ONLY in missions against Clans once a trigger has been...triggered. Once any Clan troops would spawn I get kicked out with a fatal error...
In the instant action, I can play with clan mechs against clans... no problem. Only in missions, but then every time .

Now you enter the phase of "which mod do I sacrifice or replace for the other one to keep working".

Did you check my post above? There's a number of mods in the modlist that shouldn't be there.

Except for the fact the mods that Baradul uses are the same versions on Steam and Nexusmods. His mod list has issues, but outright crashes aren't one (at least, not immediate ones).

So - either you've got more mods than just his list in there, or you've screwed up your load order. (honestly, probably both)
