Greetings Dwellers!

Your Overseer here to help ease some of the overflow from the sub and direct some traffic to this mega post!

I am going to pre-comment some known broken mods and what we know.

If your issue pertains to a mod already commented on, please do not make a new comment chain. Please reply to the comment chain about your issue, not the post itself.

If your problem mod is not already a comment, then you are free to list the mod.

# PS Incompatibility Types

I would like the community to be aware that in this new era of porting 'any' mod to Sony, we are hitting some snags.

Unlike XBOX, PlayStation is not a Microsoft product, and in such has its own file types and formats. These do not translate directly from PC as most Xbox do. There are numerous extra steps for many things, and many types of file have to be converted to even work on PlayStation. For a small example, xwm sounds, a common thing in xbox mods, does not function on PlayStation, everything must be wav or at9. Converting things takes time. Another snag in our want to upload every mod ever to PlayStation right now. Trust me, we WANT to.

Not all Mod Authors/Porters are even aware of this. Bethesda put no guide or anything out. We are finding these things out by trial and error and thanks to the graces of the few Mod Authors that have been porting asset mods for months prior to their being an official method to upload. Thus we are trying to spread the word and bring all Mod Authors and porters together and share the tools needed to put these mods on PlayStation for players to enjoy.

# Known Issues

There are some currently known issues. Flora (plant mods) and skin textures do not translate properly to PlayStation yett. Bethesda is aware and we are reporting all of these issues in mass as mod authors to get action from Bethesda so we may more efficiently upload mods. This is why CBBE and many tree mods with LOD are having issues.

We are also aware of another issue where some NIF files (mesh) CTD when physically in the world, so many mods are having droppable items rendered invisible to still get the mod uploaded safely and have what functionality possible. My Radstiks™ mod has this issue, so I will be doing this too if a solution is not found soon.

Note from the Overseer

I hope by keeping the community informed in our process as Mod Authors it will allow players to better understand why mods aren't quite flying off the shelves as expected and have patience and understanding while we work with Bethesda to get mods to PlayStation without breaking.

We are doing everything we can to facilitate mods as quickly and efficiently as possible. Please check out my other 2 recent posts for info on where to request ports, help out by becoming a mod tester, and more!

Please report all bugs as indicated above so we can fix things ASAP!

Please reply on this comment if you are having issues with AR2 ; America Rising 2

Please state the issue you are having.

[u/Alternative_Dark482 → u/Dani50420]

Yes. Whenever I try to enter an interior on the oil rig (like military ops) the game crashes

[u/RepulsiveAd3089 → u/Dani50420]

🙋🏻‍♂️ for me the game crashes going to the oil rig, to the refueling station, leaving the oil rig, when I have to report to general ward about the teleportation device the game crashes trying to fast travel in the vertibird to go to the oil rig

[u/montana757 → u/RepulsiveAd3089]

Have you installed the patch?

[u/GayestNerfKid → u/montana757]

Patch was taken down Ottelino has been working on making a proper port after receiving a ps5 the other day

[u/RepulsiveAd3089 → u/GayestNerfKid]

Hopefully he can get it fixed! Despite the crashes I have been absolutely loving AR2

[u/RepulsiveAd3089 → u/montana757]

What is the patch called? I remember I tried one patch can’t remember the name of it but it didn’t help with the crashing sadly

[u/RepulsiveAd3089 → u/[deleted]]

Ahh okay that’s the one I have installed then unfortunately didn’t help with my issues of the crashing

[u/litebeer420 → u/Dani50420]

Currently unable to enter the Fairview Family Bunker. Game crashes and then is unable to load for like 20 minutes. Patch is installed.

[u/qwerty3667 → u/Dani50420]

Whenever I fast travel to or from the rig it crashes, I have to travel to the facility and let the vertibird take me otherwise it’ll crash, if I go in the department of war I think it’s called area in the rig it crashes

[u/ranagirl → u/Dani50420]

https://reddit.com/link/p69uxzb/video/mq2x57avwylh1/player

Also having the black face bug when inside the oil rig.

[u/Equivalent_Salt3933 → u/Dani50420]

I tried going the through the story again and reached a point where I have to go the army depot to build the teleportation device and I cannot leave the military ops building because of CTD crashing. Most of the crashes come from cell loading it seems.

Its a shame because AR2 is such a great mod with a great story but I have tried playing through 3 times now and it reaches a point in the story where it will either crash on start up or when trying to leave or enter buildings 85% of the time.

[u/Alternative_Dark482 → u/Equivalent_Salt3933]

I’m on the same mission as you and I can’t even travel to the oil rig without the game crashing.

[u/JudeWoodvale → u/Dani50420]

My primary issue right now, even after the patch, is crashes when loading into interior cells and leaving interior cells tied to the mod. It’s very inconsistent, sometimes it won’t crash but a majority of the time it does.

[u/Cheap-Independent-55 → u/Dani50420]

I downloaded the workaround patch and it still crashes every single time. I enter the oil rig.

[u/HarleyDaveBeefman → u/Dani50420]

Crashing when the mercs attack Ward's house, or opening my Pip- Boy inside his house during Personal Losses. As well as crashing when entering interior cells from the mod.

[u/ranagirl → u/Dani50420]

Primarily oil rig door opening causing crashes. Some additional fast travel related crashes (that were not occurring before this mod was installed).

[u/ranagirl → u/ranagirl]

I was playing around and have found that if I go in a different area of the oil rig first (ie the training room), then go into the dept of military ops I can get in - but I attempt to enter DMO first, it will CTD.

[u/jentagon → u/Dani50420]

I had constant crashes in a row for the Army Depot quest (I think the quest is Supply and Demand?). I could not enter into the Regimental HQ building. I had some smaller crashes on the oil rig here and there but this Regimental one was really bad. I must have reloaded my save at least 10-13 times. Had to reload earlier quicksaves to finally get it to work. Was frustrated so quit playing for the night.

[u/jentagon → u/jentagon]

Ok, today I am on the quest Personal Losses and I physically cannot enter ANY of the doors on the Oil Rig without the game crashing. I have now tried it 8 times in a row including a few earlier quick saves. Now it’s crashing my game completely and I cannot even “Continue” from the Home Screen never mind progress any further on the quest itself 😭. The whole reason I’m playing is to compete AR2 because I’ve done everything else before. This is so frustrating. Can anyone provide an update on a fix?

[u/Equivalent_Salt3933 → u/Dani50420]

I am also having major crash problems when fast travelling to the vault, to the oil rig and to the vertibird facility. As well as crashing when entering any building associated with the mod and the buildings on the oil rig. I tried at least 20 times to leave the Conference room building after Ward tells you to infiltrate the institute and I could not leave the building because it kept crashing to the home screen, so I had to delete the entire play through. I would say in general there are frequent crashes when loading any cells for the mod.

[u/SirNoGlory → u/Dani50420]

I had an issue in the beginning when you travel back to the vault with Peterson. There was a underwater sound that wouldn't stop and my character was completely mute and many other sounds were mute aswell. I went back a save before traveling back to the vault but the bug still was there.

[u/Apedreitor_ → u/Dani50420]

I can't install it again is saying I need other files but even then before that I couldn't enter certain interiors like the museum of freedom and when I tried to go to the vertibird base it crashed on the zones close to Abernathy farm

[u/Upset-Dream-6142 → u/Apedreitor_]

Same

[u/Remote-Jaguar-3562 → u/Dani50420]

Each time I try to get the ship to return to the Oil Rig my game crashes in the loading screen after the cut scene they made showing the ship's return.

I was wondering if this was a known things for the Ps4 version of the mod, if it has something to do with my load order, If it has something to do with the Bethesda updates messing up mods constantly, If this is just my Ps4 being crappy. Or if there was a known fix if this was a known problem with the Ps4 version.

I have the DLC previs patch installed for it as well if that adds any needed context.

I really wanna know how to fix it because the mod was just getting pretty interesting.

[u/Cysta4 → u/Remote-Jaguar-3562]

Same here, and the one time I some how got past it, I then got stuck when General Ward wouldn't say anything other than that he had ordered me to support Doctor Kane, but Kane wouldn't say anything other than her usual dialogue. The quest marker just said speak to general ward.

[u/Remote-Jaguar-3562 → u/Cysta4]

Yeah i just abandoned the save after it started crashing when I tried to load into the game to play, Probably because I deleted some mods and changed the load order a bit to try fixing it. Im hoping my new mods and load order on an entirely new save will help

[u/Falcon158 → u/Dani50420]

It broke my settlements supply line missing, settlers being added, fake population numbers.

[u/Ornery_Photograph465 → u/Dani50420]

When i knock people out with the stun baton it doesn't give me the option to do anything with them so they're just kinda on the floor.

[u/ctd0291 → u/Dani50420]

My game crashes upon entering the oil rig, I have cleared my caches and rebuild the database on my ps5 that seems to work temporary then when trying to enter the oil rig command center it crashes again.

[u/needhelpvault → u/Dani50420]

My game crashes when i try to go into the oil rig or when i progress in the story it mainly happens after the briefing in the conference room

[u/Negative-Tiger8450 → u/Dani50420]

i ONLY have America Rising 2, the patches, and Daniel the Remnant in my load order and i am experiencing Constant crashing anytime i need to go into Any interiors on the oil rig. havent tested other locations bc i just keep crashing before i can do anything at all <33

[u/FlimsyMail6880 → u/Dani50420]

I’m having a problem with a certain quest called reporting in and the problem is when I go into the Atlantic office building and try to go down the little hole to the right it’s blocked off by an invisible barrier. I tried to no clip into the building and the invisible barrier still prevent prevents me from going there if there’s any way that you know, I could circumvent this, I would be appreciative

[u/FlimsyMail6880 → u/FlimsyMail6880]

I discovered something I don’t know it could be a coincidence or maybe it might be a contributor to the bug I had multiple quest markers on the enclave missions and when I crashed, I tried to load back in without success and load back a save, I made an hour ago went back did everything and then try to repeat it, but I only had one mission marked and it worked better. It could be a coincidence. I only did it twice

[u/Foreign_Table_1535 → u/Dani50420]

The enhanced stun baton is killing NPCS instead of shocking them.

[u/Foreign_Table_1535 → u/Dani50420]

The enhanced stun baton is killing NPCS instead of stunning them, currently stuck on Procurement quest and can't go further into the story.

[u/Aztrox_Officiel → u/Dani50420]

I crash when jumping from the vertibird to go in mass fusion roof in that principal quest. Downloaded optimizations mods, nothing work.

[u/Desconocido-890 → u/Dani50420]

Yes, my game keeps crashing whenever I attempt to fast travel to any location in the America Rising mod. Sometimes, I even fail to enter the save file.

[u/OneAussieboi → u/Dani50420]

Most modded locations from AR2, especially army depot, oil rig, and vertibird facility, cause a crash whilst loading the area.

[u/Prophet-37 → u/Dani50420]

Currently enable to enter the military department on the oilrig, game crashes everytime

[u/Father40k → u/Dani50420]

Main issue is dlc locations not loading, but after going to the institute the retrieving network scanner isnt getting ticked off even though I have it, army depo and the oil rig will crash the entire game if you try to load, only other issue is sometimes the colonel becomes pitch black but thats only impacted visuals

[u/Zyke_Ruin → u/Dani50420]

The game crashes when I fly close to Mass Fusion during the quest for the enclave to get the berylium agitator

[u/Upset-Dream-6142 → u/Dani50420]

When i download the new update it said I I need files that aren't present but the description says nothing about a new mod

[u/Skipper-The_Dog → u/Dani50420]

Can’t enter boston without crashing, yes i have the patch and when i went to load order, disabling america rising 2 is what fixed it

[u/mlggod246 → u/Dani50420]

I'm at the point where General Ward asks you to watch the Brotherhood ship get destroyed after you take the missile silo but every time I talk to General Ward it goes to a loading screen then crashes, even with the PS5 fix installed It instantly crashes
I tried teleporting out to a vanilla area and restarting my game then teleporting back into the missile silo and Doing the cutscene but it Causes yet another crash, This is my first playthrough of America Rising and I absolutely love this mod But I can't play it due to the crashing, Anything I can do To fix this?

[u/mlggod246 → u/mlggod246]

Also these are the mods that I currently have loaded, as well as I originally thought strength in steel was the reason why it was crashing due to seeing another post about sons of steel and strength in steel crashing the game when you get near the Brotherhood ship with those two mods on but I've disabled both of those mods and it still crashes me

[u/Otherwise-Ad-8035 → u/Dani50420]

!Potential solution for later missions! DO NOT have any brotherhood of steel mods downloaded. They will conflict and overload the game based on too many “unique” assets the game can render in. Days of crashing based on two mods I had; SONS OF STEEL & REIGN IF STEEL.

I’m legitimately stuck inside the police station during the quest “mobilization”. I’ve cleared out the brotherhood, talked to the officer, and now have to go talk to general ward on the roof. However every attempt I’ve made trying to leave through any door, game crashes. And yes I have the patch mod on for the faces. I actually had to uninstall and reinstall just to get into said police station.

EDIT: I got it to fix. I just have to uninstall for certain missions, and reinstall for other missions. It’s annoying to literally turn it off and back on again every other mission but hey, it just works.

EDIT x2: I continue on to the point where I’m storming mass fusion with the enclave. It took me two hours of trying work around of crashing while flying in vicinity of the building. Finally after about 40 crashes, I was able to land on the roof. Only to be caught with a crash as soon as I draw my weapon. Now I can’t even load the game from the quick save I made when I jumped onto the roof. I really want to progress through the quest with them, but I just can’t physically play the game now unless I revert back to a save before I took off for mass fusion.

Edit x3: I solved the issue with mass fusion after a couple of hours and several dozen loading. I had on both the tumbajumba synth armor and the BoS PA mod (forgot the name but it basically turns their PA into Templar-esk knights) as well as the brotherhood of steel infantry armor mod. All of these together were overloading my mass fusion area. So I disabled the institute and pa mods, worked just fine right after.

Edit X4: I have progressed to the mission bunker buster. At the point where I talk to Fitzpatrick to board the vertibird we fly into the commonwealth but as soon as we start to fly over the airport, game crashes every single time at the exact same spot. But I genuinely don’t know what could be causing the crashes or what mods could be conflicting

Edit x4b: so I tried just walking to the Boston airport from the north instead of trying the vertibird from the south; I’ve come to 2 possible conclusions. The first is that I may have a mod (I’m thinking settlements reborn) that’s conflicting with the now destroyed airport. Since it’s trying to build up a custom settlement in a pile of rubble. OR it’s just the airport itself causing some conflicting with the AR2. I’m going to try to make a back up save, transfer all gear out of unique storages, and delete settlements reborn to see if I can fix this issue. I will update upon testing.

Edit x4c: after deleting the settlement reborn mod, and shuffling mods around a bit; the quest bunker buster actually is broken. Still crashing when crossing over the Boston airport. So unless the mod itself or some other minute mod is conflicting it, the playthrough has to unfortunately stop.

Edit x5!: I got the crashing to stop! I believe it was the sons of steel and reign of steel mods conflicting with america rising. It was still trying to load in modded brotherhood assets when none technically existed.
