Since this seems to deal with bugs and i dont want to add anothe bug report discussion ill just add it here in hopes that it would be seen as well.

ive encountered a gamebreaking but(as in, a whole campaign gamebreaking bug) and it happens when you get an unskippable council mission from the spectres. whenever you accept it, it sends you to a bugged mission where the camera is stucked under the floor and none of the thing spawns, essecially, locking you on an unskippable council mission that have a broken mission when you accept. i may be wrong but the mission description reads "Recover Intel from Raiders". im assuming its a raider thing like the CAT9 raiders or even the Phantom Incursion Raider(i think i have all of the raider mods) and the spectre is having issue with these. the mission doesnt even have a reward at all.

This behavior is pretty consistent with mod incompatibility, I found that these "forced missions" (be they raider missions, covert action, avenger defense) bug out if I had the Quick Solider info mod active or the squad management mod active with some of the psionics mods I'd installed. In your case it might be a different set of mods.

If you don't want to toggle mods on and off, you can use the console to automatically "win" these missions using the "endbattle Xcomwins true" command although it feels like cheating, it's much easier than troubleshooting mod incompatibility which can be troublesome and time consuming.

I am having issues with the grey market that cannot disable and if you purchase recruits through it they dont appear in the roster for some reason...

Hello, within my last few campaigns I've had an issue where my game would load into a map for a mission and after playing the deployment animation from the skyranger it would promptly freeze on the squad's starting position and then crash. I also had the More Resistance Orders Pages mod and the Viper Redux species mod with their modular advent clothing mod as well. This crash wouldn't happen every time I loaded into a mission, but after two missions in a row it would come and crash again. I've since deleted all of the mods mentioned above and my game has gone back to normal. I really do love this mod and the viper mod as well so please contact me if you would like to talk about what might be causing these crashes.
