Unpassable Black Screen - Finding I1-01 Mission
I'm trying to play this mod now but am having a game breaking bug. I just passed the damaged video to the maintenance droid so he can find out what actually happened to the I1-01 droid (quest is called Finding )1-01) I need to speak too, and he takes the video and walks off of screen whilst it fades to black. Then nothing. I can hear the in game sounds such as droids moving, the music playing, but I just have a black screen and nothing more. I have left this for 10 minutes and still nothing. I have reinstalled the mod, and still nothing! Does anyone have any suggestions as I am 40+ hours into the game and so if this can't be fixed then it was all for naught.

It is obvious that after the screen fades to black, something is supposed to happen. For whatever reason though it simply isn't happening.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

We're unsure why this happens, but people have reported changing party compositions (or going completely solo) will allow you to pass, give it a try.

What party do you have? Other mods?

Thanks for the reply Hassat. Unfortunately this didn't seem to fix my issue. As a party I was using G0-T0 and HK-47 (trying to in-keep with the lore of the mod!), I reloaded and tried going solo but the same thing seemed to happen. Mod-wise, the only things that could have conflicted (I would imagine) were the Jedi Temple on Coruscant or the Jedi Enclave Extended, but for each mod I had installed any relevant patches. I did have an awful lot of texture mods installed, including Verts Protocol droid retexture and the HK-47 TOR retexture and K2 Exteriors (both parts). I honestly don't think any of my other mods would have been "active" during the level though apart from the Ultimate Lightsaber one (but my character was using normal sabers).

I tried a number of different things including re-installing the mods to see if that made a difference, but unfortunately it didn't seem to and so I have decided to simply re-install the game without this mod present as everything else seemed to work fine together. From what I saw of it though, it did seem to be a well made mod and I thought the voice acting was very well made.

One thing I did notice though was that the main greeter droid's (as soon as you enter the facility after the landing pad) dialogue would sometimes sound robotic and at other times would echo heavily instead. It seem's to be that the dialogue files have had the wrong "filter" put on some of them. It wasn't a major issue by any means, but did kind of highlight a break in immersion. Other than that (and obviously the black screen crash) it seemed like a good mod.

Thank you for trying to help, and if you require it I can supply you with a copy of the save file as it is saved in my cloud-saves folder.

Yeah, that savegame would be nice to have and try some stuff on.

I've been able to put together a rar file containing the most recent save (just before talking to the Maintenence droid), the latest Auto Save (about 5 mins before) and a Txt file detailing which added content mods were being used.

You should be able to download the file direct from my dropbox at:-
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ch8kwbzt6lql1np/M4-78%20crashed%20save.rar?dl=0

I hope it can help in some way, and I wish you the best of luck with the mod.

Sadly enough seems your mods are pretty deeply rooted in your game and trying to load the savegames just crashes my game.

Also want to remind you USM is not compatible with TSLRCM, and thus by extension M4-78EP.

Thank you for the heads up!

Try to use solo button (V Key) and start dialog, if it dont help, try to remove all partymembers. In my first playthrough i dont have blackscreen wtih Mira and Handmaiden, but have it in second playthrough. same with hk-47 and g0-t0. Just cant imagine how possible to have bug what make mod unplayable and still cant fix it.

It worked for everyone so far. Try uploading your savegame and see if I get the same issue???

I've tried every partycombo given by people so far, and never got it on my end, even if them changing the composition solves it.
