Hope this helps

@jip Thanks, sounds great

@jip
Whats odd is that All three of those BlackOps mods work just fine with other Ai's, base game Ai's, and in PVP. Its currently the M27Ai that seems to brake those units. They glide instead of walking, and you can hear them fire but no animation or "bullet" is then animated or spawned.

Im not sure how this Ai is interacting with the units that is causing this and hopefully it can be addressed because my small group of FAF playing friends love the difficulty of this Ai but also want to continue using the BlackOps units.

I hope this is one of the correct locations to post bugs

Challenging Ai but seems to break and crash when used with BlackOps units. Any chance you could update the Ai to be compatible with these unit packs?

I have checked my settings, no non-ASCII characters that I can see.

This crash is happening about 40-50ish min into a 4 (P) v 4(Ai) or 4 (P) v 5 (Ai) game

I have now activated the FAF Debugger in the settings, if this crash happens again I hope the more detailed log will help.

This crash of an unknown symbol has been happening every game. Three games in a row with 4 players. Host crashes out then a few minutes later most of the others crash out with the same error.

Can anyone create a mod to remove these units from a game, aka to prevent the AI from trying to use them?

Is the NX2 file type "NexusDB" or is it some other type of file?

What would be the best program to use to read/edit this type of file?
