Xcom 2 serpent suit crash

[3D Master]

Anyone else have a problem with the Serpent Suit? The moment I equip it, instead of the animation and voiceover I get when I equip another armor for the first time, the character disappears and there's nothing on the screen but the background. There's nothing to click and it does not go forward. It does not matter who I put the Serpent Suit on either.

I then have to alt-tab out of the came and manually close the game.

If so, have you figured out what the problem is, I do have some mods installed, but most of them are appearance.

I got that everytime myself. Someone told me I had a mod conflict. I tried to drop mods and check yet. I'm currently getting such sluggish graphics on my current restart after dropping some mods it's almost unplayable. Seems to get worse as the campaign progresses. I'm gussing there's some kind of memory leak from an existing mod. So looks like I might just drop all the mods down to the official ones and see how that works. Really wish mods were more stable with the main game. All the mods I was running ran fine until the Rulers DLC came out.

I got this Issue as well but if it's a mod conflict we should be able to find out which mods could, possibly, do this. My normal "Tactic" for something like this is disable all mods, see if it works, put 5 back in and so on, but seriously if you have 80+ mods this is just annoying like hell, ok if you are lucky the mod which is causing this is in the first 20.
Another thing which would be Interesting is what your launch.log is "telling", open it up, Scroll down and see if you can find this entry:
"ScriptWarning: Accessed None 'TorsoContent'."
That's the "message" I'm getting from the game if i try to equip the serpent Armor, and so the last one before the game is closed via task manager.
Logs are found in the my games Xcom 2 Xcomgame logs folder and the one i mean is the Launch.log
I have made two screenshots in order to cover up my whole mod list, maybe you know one(or more of this). Using this way we should all able to figure out faster which mod is causing the problems, hopefully it's just one and not more mods which can cause this problem(would be stupid).

Oh by the way yes IESS and IESS+ are working with Alien hunters, one of the mods has an open discussion with one way to make IESS work for Alien hunters.

I don't have the problem, maybe is the PC to hot...

@nathan_enz not helpfull at all, especially i saved before putting on the serpent suit. So i start the game load the save put the armot on serpent suit makes soldier invisible, and in the 2 minutes this is taking the computer was Overheating? I can just say impossible.

I can no longer test the mods. I tried a solution that worked before with mods; delete the local content, and reinstall the entire game. After I did this the last time I had a problem like this, the game went to run smoothly afterward and the mods worked just fine.

Did that; now none of the mods show up in the launcher window, unlike last time. Went to the workshop; still subscribed. Tried unsubscribing and resubscribing a few; started the game, mods still don't show up in the launcher.

What the hell now!?

[timbo327]

@3D Master this should be normal, i hadthis more than once after doing this. Start the game once,just go to the main menu, after this the mods should show up in the launcher again(Yes this worked for me a couple of times).

I'm actually checking for the mod, it's definetly a mod as i put all mods out of the game i was able to equip the serpent suit without having a crash, which is responsible for the "crash" while equipping the Serpent suit. I was now able to reduce the number of mods which are possibly doing this to 10. These ten mods are: No squadsight penalties, Overwatch all/Others, Perfect Information, Proving Grounds Lock and Load, Riftkeeper, Scanning sites Plus, Scientist Staff slots, Sigma Specialist, Sigma Squad, Skulljack Feedback Fix. I will write again as soon as i know more.
Edit: Found out which mod was causing this bug for me, if this counts for you as well i don't know(try it out): Scientist staff slots.

[3D Master]

Okay, deinstalling the game and reinstalling the game massively improved performance of the game; sadly, did not solve the crash.

Of the mods you've brought it down to, I also have Overwatch all/Others, and Scientist staff slots. I doubt Overwatch all/others is the culprit, so we can assume it's scientist staff slots. Let's check it out:

[3D Master]

Yep, it's the scientists; now to contact the modder who created it, to see if he can figure out what goes wrong and hopefuly update his mod to slove the problem.

[similarly]

I JUST had this problem. Thanks, guys. Deleting scientist staff slots, I guess.
EDIT:
Rather than delete the mod, I turned it off, put on the armor. Quit. Turned the mod back on. All is well and working fine!

Weird that this mod would conflict with the serpent armor.

Thank you so much for the INFO.
