Hey, wasn’t sure the best way to contact you regarding bugs in your mod but I can get a very consistent crash in Sapienza Landslide daytime variation. Basically when doing an arms trafficking contract, It can crash if you someone see’s you do anything suspicious. Or at least that is the reason I think it happens as it can be pretty abrupt.
It’s pretty easy to replicate. just go the back of the ICA hideout with a sniper and hang by the edge over looking the concert. Aim and kind of look around. When aiming I think someone from the ground floor gets a glimpse of me. This makes the yellow bar appear and then bam it CTDs.
Are you aware of the issue? I tested with only Freelancer variations installed and still got the crash. I also have two video clips showing how I can get it to happen pretty constantly.
As IO has essentially moved on to project 007, I would say your work is basically the last thing keeping this game alive for me. So much to the point where I simply can’t put it down. Amazing mod.
Never heard of it, wouldn’t know how or why or where to start with that. Midday Landslide is just Landslide variant + Midday ToD (Doesn’t actually change anything in gameplay, only lighting and sky)
That sounds like an error that might happen when a brand new NPC type (outfit) has been added for NPCs to use and hasn’t been ported properly (It doesn’t know what to do when distracted or anything that interrupts its script), but there are definitely no new outfits specific to midday Landslide, and as for Landslide without midday… I don’t think there is. There might be a Patient Zero or Prologue NPC outfit in there but they’ve been loaded directly from IO’s files so no chance of them being wrongly implemented.
If you’re able to, send the video so I can see what NPC this is. It’s almost certainly not related to what type of syndicate you’re doing.

Hmm, if no one else had this bug before I’ve got to wonder if it’s re creatable on someone else’s end. Just in case I’ll do another freelancer run tomorrow with a clean install and just your mod installed. I’ve had this crash pretty consistently before in an alleyway by the church and also when trying to pick a lock into the stores which I think lead into the sanguine shop?
Basically, every time I do something sus. But these two vids are the ones I have on hand that show it happening on the same spot with the same circumstance.
Hmm, in those vids you sent you didn’t even do anything sus before the crash, you were just unpacking or aiming your sniper without anyone knowing?
I don’t think it’s related to anything you’re doing, but I notice both those crashes seemed to happen around what I’m guessing is the 2:14 mark of playthrough… there might be something scripted to happen at that point which for some reason is causing a crash now or specifically on your PC
Encountered the same thing, once at 2:06 (maybe I skipped the intro?) and once at 2:09 after spawning in the townhall tower and doing different things than jamwstw.
The evening Landslide variant seems to be unaffected, no issue for the 7 minutes till I completed the mission.
Could the last game patch have changed something that caused this issue?
Thanks for testing on your end, as no one else reported the issue so I had to wonder if it was a hardware problem.
Firstly when the videos I shared end is when the crash actually happen. As the xbox game bar stops recording automatically when the game closes.
I figured I would do some further testing before reporting back. So just to confirm on my end what I did for a clean install. I uninstalled the game. deleted the chunk files. reinstalled the game. deleted the cache in simple mod frame work. Then only installed freelancer variations. I also launched the game using peacock.
I then did another run in Sapienza midday variation. It just seems unstable in general. At one point I got a crash simply running to the spot I recorded but through a different start (townhall tower start also). This time I did not do anything suspicious though there were some NPCs searching for me because of gunshots. I got another crash when I simply aimed at the bodyguards I killed who are chilling in the apartment.
I can also confirm that the evening variation is pretty stable as I did the same route numerous times yesterday and didn’t get any crashes from what I remember.
Will try look into it this week, I notice you didn’t say what time the game crashed in your reply but since it also crashed not long after 2 min mark for Jaq I’m going to assume it’s relevant in some way
When the video ends, the crash happens. Footage was recorded with xbox game bar, and it sadly automatically stops recording after the game closes, so you don’t get to see my rad desktop background lol.
Walking around that specific edge of the roof with an illegal item is sus as a few people can see you from the ground level. You can see this in the second clip just before the video ends though it is hard to notice as it ends abruptly. I honestly don’t know any more if suspicion is related because in the post I made before this it seemed to crash with me just running around as guards were looking for me. It’s possible though the game is crashing the EXACT moment someone catches a glimpse of you with suspicion, but I really don’t know.
Still those two videos were meant to recreate the crash the most consistent way I could in hopes that it could help you or others with debugging the issue. Hope it gets fixed because it’s a great variant. Thanks for looking into it and once again love the mod 
Okay so I think I’ve found the culprit, there’s only one non-lighting change I made in daytime brick, and that was deleting a drama where someone Abiatti meets waits for him. I think I deleted it because this person is a potential target and I didn’t want him to stand around in public for 2 minutes and wanted him to begin his big route early. But yeah, when Abiatti goes to meet this person at the 2 min mark the game crashes instead.
So I undeleted it and now it works fine. I will push an update but first I’m going to look at JaqTaar’s bug where safe clues are blocked off in Night Whittleton

Only noticed the update now. Was it the boyfriend of the woman Abiatti takes a photo with?
No, Doctor near the boat keys I believe

I am posting here because the game runs when not in Variations. However, when I start a mission in Freelancer, as 47 is on his way there, the game freezes and then shuts down. I have tried everything and nothing seems to work.
I’ve had that happen before (though, not in a long time). I’m on Epic. I’ve noticed it seems to happen more if 47 is on a plane, but it has happened with other loading screens. The loading bar will seem to hang on the D or N under the word ‘LOADING’ then crash just like your did.
I could only suggest to keep retrying until it does work.

Need to know what maps you were travelling to
For Variations, it is Chongqing.

I’m thinking of reinstalling the game on both Steam and Xbox, but I worry that I’ll have to start all over again. Do I need to worry about that?
I don’t know what you mean by that. If you reinstall the game you need to reinstall the mod yes
I know about the mods and I have all of them. I just don’t want to replay everything on Xbox and Steam. That said, I will keep trying as the problem is only with Freelancer.

Just tested Noodle Massacre and Daytime ETs variants as they’re the two most troublesome, and they both worked fine for me with no other mods installed, so must be a conflict with some other mod you have on, or some sort of other issue on your end.
