MCM crashes game on intro movie
since late 2017 early 2018 the game, for me, kept crashing after finishing avenger defense. it was after some update 2kgames or fireaxis did. to get the game to keep playing I had to turn off all mods and play through defense in vanilla. However, soon after these problems, the game would just crash out to desktop on the intro video of reporters talking about the celebration and I could never get the game to run. after a few days I found out after turning off mods one at a time that it was MCM causing the crashes.
I haven't been able to play a mudded game ever since because all good increased squad size mods require your mcm to work. All I ever wanted was the ability to pick and choose a squad of 8 men and equip them but vanillia only lets you choose up to 6, the last two are random.... bummer.

is there ANY way to go in and manually change the game files in order to let you to be able to pick / choose / equip the last two members of a 8 man squad without mods since I cant use MCM or mods that require it anymore ?

I did used to use robojumpers mod but cant anymore because of mcm requirement.

Hi lestat427, sorry I didn't see your post until now. While it depends on how the mod handles its settings, in most cases you should be able to edit the .INI files manually in the mod folders themselves.

All that said, I am surprised that MCM is crashing as the new campaign is being created, because MCM doesn't actually run any code then. However, because a lot of mods *use* MCM, there are a few specific issues that can cause problems during loading screens.

Have you tried resetting your configs or reinstalling the game?

One workaround you can use is to turn on MCM, load into the main menu, configure your mods, close the game, disable MCM, and load back in. Pretty much all mods should be able to continue functioning without MCM actually enabled. They just need MCM to show you settings menus in game.

I indeed also got this problem and worked around by doing that. I do not understand why it was working then suddenly the games would crash at ADVENT intro start. For anyone who gets a stutter crash on advent video then just do what guby wrote for the last paragraph.
