Still getting some lock ups, especially with enemies like Bio Vipers (exploding on death) and perks like Close Combat Specialist.

There still seems to be a lockup when an unit dies from overwatch fire with the "undying loyalty" dark event and spawns a zombie

@zin
I seem to remember that mod doesn't work with WotC

Is this mod compatible with robojumper’s various speed-ups? Link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=746389497

One Steam tag should be sufficient!

War of the Chosen

NOT war of the chosen!
NOT WotC!

100% fixed an issue I was having.

X2DebugVisualizers shows dozens of green squares, but none of them seem to say Clear Hangs.

No

this isn't in community highlander?

Please add new Steam tag "War of the Chosen" here.

Is there any chance this mod is affecting the cinematic lockups on the Skirmisher's Justice and Wrath abilities? I'm wondering because for some reason, both of those skills will lockup for roughly 30 seconds, and often, especially in the case of Wrath, the Skirmisher will not be in the proper spot next to its target.
If the mod isn't affecting these two skills, does anyone know why this bug is happening? Thanks. :)

I think it was some sort of conflict between 2 reveal animations. You see her "shimmer" when she is running in to swrod while stealthed, and she is revealed during the melee animation.
However, taking damage also reveals her, so it probably tried to play 2 overlaping animations and got hung up.

Maybe, hard to say, probably too late to test now, but if you use `X2DebugVisualizer` at the console you can see if some visualization is currently running (ie, do you see a tree/flow chart kind of thing in the overlay or not!)

Had a weird bug where the assassin ran into a mine while invisible (trying to move in to sword strike my soldier) and the game soft locked and I had to reload a save.
Is that the same kind of issue as this, or is it something else?

Experienced lockup with the Rifleman class during Hold The Line with this modenabled. Lockup was not resolved after several minutes and the client had to be restarted.
Daemonjax Jun 6, 2020 @ 12:59am 
I had problems (would cause lockups) with this mod when I tried to add it mid-campaign and I had to remove it on that playthrough.

But it seems to work fine when added to a new campaign.

Can confirm with strikerscharged, double Close Quarters Combat stalls the reaction period.
Rtma Eros Paragon Jun 2, 2020 @ 7:08am 
I ended up reinstalling and after tweaking the mod values again, it's saved my Campaign.

To confirm the exact perks, have the infiltrator class's close combat specialist against an opposing elite (Yes, must be ELITE) Salarian. Move into each other's proximity, and the glitch will happen.
Cypher10 May 31, 2020 @ 5:21pm 
Have to confirm with Rtma. Any enemies that have similar close combat reaction shot passive, such as the salarian enemy mod, will result in a lockup if another opposing unit has a close combat passive reaction shot triggered at the same time. Unfortunately, the problem persists even with this mod installed.
Hsieh.E May 28, 2020 @ 6:24pm 
If you aren't using the alternative mod launcher try it out, might sort out the issue, other than that it seems like your mod of "Additional Enemy Perks" might be the cause of the issue. Good luck!

I don't know where to post this or what's responsible but since this deals with Overwatch related mechanics I'll give this a try, my game keeps getting stuck in a close Quarters shot that doesn't fire, was wondering what one can do about this?
Lampros May 5, 2020 @ 6:47pm 
And wow, almost 32,000 subscribers! I recall only a few dozen subscribers when I quit playing last time. I am glad I pleaded with Mr. Nice for this mod! ;)
Lampros May 5, 2020 @ 6:46pm 
Good thing this seems still working - I don't think I'd want to play again without it! ;)
Dragon32 May 3, 2020 @ 12:28pm 
@goDelimS
I added this mid-campaign fine; like you say just make sure it's not a mid-tactical save.
goDelimS May 3, 2020 @ 11:29am 
Hey there quick question this mod should work fine with Stop Wasting My Time – WotC right?
I am just making sure since both mods seem to affect overwatch stuff.
Also is it ok to install this mid-campaign (Of course, not while in tactical mode)?
Mr. Nice  [author] Apr 27, 2020 @ 10:50am 
I'm a descriptivist, not a prescriptivist, so put that in your basket of 10 items or less :steammocking:

Hi Dragon,
I use the AML already and it didn’t flag any conflictions with this mod and any others. I am running 106 in total though, mainly qol.

I’ll use the guides and see if they throwbup anything.

Thanks for the help.

@adampcloth:
Possibly a conflicting class override. Grab the Alternate Mod Launcher which should identify.
Details and some great Mod Troubleshooting advice here.
This guide gives some more detailed advice on using the Alternate Mod Launcher: Troubleshooting: Mods not working properly / at all

Hi, I am running WoTC on a HP Envy with windows 10 64 bit that has a NVidia MX150 GPU. If I use this mod the GPU only uses 50% processing power and the game slows concidrably. All the other mods I run are fine.
HjAalmar Oct 9, 2019 @ 9:07am 
Saviour. Thanks. <3
Wall Street Wizard Pelosi Sep 29, 2019 @ 2:03pm 
I have no idea what your mod did but I just passed the mission successfully after loading that overwatch scene ! Thank you ! Thank you so so much !
Wall Street Wizard Pelosi Sep 29, 2019 @ 1:59pm 
OH MY GOD. I KEPT GETTING STUCK ON THE SAME MISSION ON IRONMAN AND LOADING IT WITH YOUR MOD MADE THE OVERWATCH GO THROUGH. I THOUGHT I HAD TO RESTART ENTIRELY AGAIN I AM SO SO SO SO THANKFUL !
I can't believe they can't fix their game and it's a mod that saved me !! Again I am so thankful, I can finally finish it after all these years !!!!!
Leile............. Aug 13, 2019 @ 4:51am 
Same, there is nothing on the screen to press when using the console command. I tried changing resolutions but it didn't help
Dragon32 Aug 9, 2019 @ 4:22pm 
@Mr. Nice:
Did you see Rock Paper Shotgun the other day?
This and your other mods get a mention :)
진기 Jul 22, 2019 @ 12:00pm 
I love you. Seriously
jcewazhere Jul 21, 2019 @ 9:45am 
I tried the X2DebugVisualizer but there was no "clear hangs button", any idea why?
Going to try your mod now anyway, thanks in advance.
天选者之战 Jun 26, 2019 @ 12:25am 
thanks for you,my Mr. Nice,this mod very good
Obdulio May 26, 2019 @ 9:46pm 
when it got stuck for me on Overwatch, i brought down the console and typed "X2DebugVisualizers" and it made the sound of UI appearing but nothing appeared on screen for me to press, i had to exit and reload the game.
Old Ben May 11, 2019 @ 8:23pm 
I get frequent visualization hangs during over-watch and reaction fire. Will give this a try... thanks.
Press_START Mar 23, 2019 @ 1:52pm 
YES! THANK YOU! i had set up a complicated ambush the game kinda froze up and i had to force the program to close
Klokinator Feb 23, 2019 @ 6:58am 
Well shooty tooties, I didn't even look at the authors. Thanks for the elaboration!
Mr. Nice  [author] Feb 23, 2019 @ 6:26am 
AIF is also by me, and there's no overlap in their overrides?
Dragon32 Feb 23, 2019 @ 2:10am 
@Klokinator:
I haven't had any
Klokinator Feb 22, 2019 @ 9:49pm 
Question. This mod and Ability Interaction Fixes seem to modify some of the same files. Will that cause a game crash?
Infinite Monkeys Dec 27, 2018 @ 10:03am 
I'm going to subscribe too since this is the best alternative I can find anywhere. But I have a question: is there a way to completely remove the action cam for overwatch shots? If I disable action cams in the menu, the game still does the action cam thing when overwatch shooting. Is there a way to disable it entirely?
NEPTUNE IN SAGITTARIUS Dec 9, 2018 @ 2:41am 
This MOD is very good. It works very well.
Mr. Nice  [author] Oct 13, 2018 @ 1:48am 
Yes, looking through the SDK didn't see any changes to what this mod interacts with.
