Modded Coop issue (seems yaml) and how to fix it?

[Comrade Jesus]

Hi everyone, So we played MW5 with friends and had some issues with mods, and seems that YAML, one of the best series of mods, are the case of trouble.
When I enter the game as a guest, I can open the map but only directly. The map itself seems crippled with no regions and icons, also the mechs are unavailable in hangar.
When we turn off every mod one by one, only disabling the YAML helped.
Host has all the dlcs, I'm not. But it should not affect it anyway.
Also we thought that it may be connected with saves, started a new campaign and began the old one, but nothing helped. Disabled all the content mods, but the pair of unlock coop tabs and YAML seems the one which causes problems.

The list of active mods, which are currently turned uo and working fine:
Mod options
HeatWarnXL
NoTonnageLimit
TTRulez_AIMod2
Hellfire and brimstone autocannons, ppc, missile effects
Community asset bundle
Faster Bullets
Mech Delivery
TT Rescale mechs
Weapon bump
MW5 compatibility pack
Better lightning - minimal fog
Heat gauge
Unlock Coop tabs
No friendly fire


So maybe you had the same problem and know how to activate normal coop with it, because YAML is really cool.

If I'm understanding correctly, this is a well known issue that my group has run into as well. There are a few fixes but which will work can be random. The two that have worked for us were having the host run a mission solo, saving, then restarting multiplayer, but, most recently, we had to purge the total number of different types of items. There is a reddit thread about this that has other options. Good luck.

There are four mods you can remove from this list.

First off you can remove the Community Asset Bundle (CAB). Unless you have a mod that requires it, this mod is not needed. YAML does not pull assets from it, and you won't see any of the assets from the CAB unless another mod is pulling from it.

Remove TT_Rescale_Mechs, YAML has its own built in rescale. I believe this setting should be available in the standard settings menu, but if not Mod Options will get you access to it.

You can remove the MW5 Compatibility pack. Unless something explicitly states it is needed, that mod is not required.

You can also remove No_Friendly_Fire. YAML has a setting inside of the mod where you can disable friendly fire.

Woow that actually works! Great, thanks a lot!
Compatibility pack was required, by the way

Glad I could help out and that your co-op issues seem to have been solved.
