Unstable game - Cheat to complete missions to make up?
I've added Call to Arms but the game's gotten unstable now. Just now again hot off a one hour mission that crashed to desktop upon completion, after meticulous care to not lose any systems.
I am not doing that again. Especially if I'm not guaranteed it won't simply crash to desktop again. Is there a cheat to auto-complete a mission with all enemy mechs turned to salvage?

Mods up-to-date?

Cheating is not a solution for crashes.

Are you using any mods, by chance?

So the correct answer would've been "there's a savegame editor where you can offset any damages caused by game instability." https://www.nexusmods.com/mechwarrior5mercenaries/mods/4

This'll come in handy as after repeated attempts - that mod being disabled - it finally went through to the post-mission screen, and I now need to reimburse myself a king crab and T5 AC/20's

Caveat on that for future readers - savegame editors can also kill a save file.

Thought it sounds like you've been a victim of the gloriously bad memory management in the game. Now there's garbage collection stuff in YAML if you're using it (sounds like you aren't) but you can get a lot of the same qol stuff from the aptly named "Quality of Life Upgrades 2". It's got the Garbage Collection stuff as well as other nice things, but without the YAML stuff (same dev).

Hmm?

The base game memory management isn't great at clearing things out as often as it should.

So unsurprisingly, someone made a mod that will clear out some of that crap a bit more often, helping minimise those wonderful memory leak crashes. Doesn't stop them all, but it makes them a rare enough occurrence you don't feel inclined to use a save editor.
