Mephansteras Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I've been doing a fair bit of mod related stuff lately, both running various mods off the steam workshop and trying my hand at .ini modding. Until today none of the stuff I had done/installed caused any problems. However, after a bit of .ini modding today the game has started randomly freezing on me and going to a blank/black screen. It has happened both in battle and in the Avenger. All of these changes are in the [Documents\My Games\XCOM2\XComGame\Config] folder. Changes I made today include: Upping initial soldiers to 6 Adding more enemies to most pods Adding HP to most soldiers/enemies plus tweaks to a few enemies Upping Full/Partial cover values Tweaking grenade damage spread Files I changed are: XCOMMissions XCOMGameCore XComGameData_WeaponData XComGameData_CharacterStats Anyone know if the stuff I did could cause that, or is more likely some mod updated and broke everything? Unfortunately I have too much stuff to easily troubleshoot this, especially since the crash can take over an hour to manifest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If u check Event Viewer is there a 0x116 or 0x117 code listed? If it froze up completely and you restarted there may not be any record written to Event Log so look in minidump for a dmplog 0x117 TDR. What are ur specs? Edited April 21, 2016 by PillMonster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephansteras Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 GPU is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M Maybe I just need to update my drivers,. I'll keep an eye out for another hang and look for those codes. Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
