The issue only happens if you destroy a sensor fence by an AoE attack, such as a grenade, rend-wave, harbour wave.. etc
You will crash at mission extraction/end due to the fences "broken window gibblets" needing to be cleaned up by the garbage-collection script.. but as the fence isn't a window and didn't create gibblets when it broke the GC can't find them, and the game crashes as it gets stuck in a loop "clean giblets > giblets not found > clean giblets > giblets not found"

You can resolve the issue by either not destroying fences by AoE.. or prior to extraction, save and load the game. The reload creates the fence as 'already destroyed' thus no giblets are 'pending/listed' for the GC to collect ....

Space is cool, I am not having the problem and the mod works fine

warning do not subscribe to this mod, it will cause your game to crash constantly at advent facilities. It will make missions uncompletable too, as it crashes at mission end as well.

oh nvm

yeah. is there a low graphic version?

Some issue with this and garbage collection.
Any chance the mod can get a 2024 fix ?

Is there perhaps a version of the mod with just the graphical glow effect of the fences?

Not too sure if someone said this already but, this mod causes mission endings to crash when it regards to advent facilities tied to the avatar project.

There should be a hacker ability/class that let's you disable the sensors for a single turn.
That should mix things up a bit :3

I remember first time I did Black Site I thought all the fences were motion sensors...

This is because for game purposes of this mod each fence has now been 'repurposed' into a window .. so it shows you the "jumping through a window smashing glass" scene

the vanilla game actually occasionally did that

good idea, but each time i past a sensor fence i get a little cutscreen(like when you jump through a window), and thats a pain in the bum.

Genius mod.

I hope this is okay to post here instead of on "What Mods Do People Want", as I figured this was the most logical place to put it. Apologies if I'm wrong. Just let me know and I'll delete/move it.

I was wondering if you or anyone else might be interested in making the sensors a hackable object. Maybe at some sort of control box in a checkpoint or something like that, with the options of "Temporary Shutdown" and "Redirection" or just a "Fence Crash" as the hacking options. In my mind I see Redirect causing ADVENT to be alerted but move away from XCOM troops and not break concealment... unless the hack fails of course.

Possible or not, thanks for reading.

@N/A Ok thanks, after taking a look at one of the crash logs the game always crashes on the garbage collection when it tries to clean up the fences but only if an explosion or something like a Sectopod destroyed one of them. (From my experience with the crash.)

@Premierbebop apparently it's caused by a garbage collection issue. if you save and load it will clear it but otherwise it is guaranteed. had it on every facility mission so far and just had it on a guerrilla op.

Hi just wondering If anyone has found a way to fix the end mission garbage collection CTD bug, whitelisting it in my anti-virus did not work and neither did cleaning my config. I can live without it, it's just nice to have. Thanks!

Well written flavour text, fits right with the theme of the game, 10/10

@Tweevle can you fix this great mod please?

I've never had a crash with this mod :)

So, any plans to fix the crashing? I would love to use this mod! It would be a great addition, but I don't want to screw up my campaign. :(

@Just wanted to report back that adding to the anti virus whitelist did not fix the crash for me.

@KEEP CALM - Interesting, I have done the same and will let you know if it solves the problem.

i love this mod. it adds an additional challenge to the game. but.. i'd like to turn off the extra brightness. i have a low end machine and missions with fences cut into frame rates.

Resolution for "my game crashes after a mission with the "garbage collection". I withelisted Xcom2.exe, CrashDumpPermission.exe, CrashDumpWatcher.exe (...Steam\steamapps\common\XCOM 2\XCom2-WarOfTheChosen\Binaries\Win64) in my anti-virus software. I got no more crashes after that. Before this change the game was crashing after every rescue mission.

I love this mod :)
It's like jumping through and breaking a window, anyone will unstealth

Just out of curiosity, does this mod make them function like the sensor towers (and does the Reaper's Infiltrate ability make them able to walk through them as normal)?

I can confirm with others that my game crashes after a mission with the "garbage collection" stated in the logs.

I seem to be getting the crashing issue too... the issue happens if a sensor fence is destroyed by an environmental/explosive blast, the game crashes on evac/evac all. The log shows a lot of failures to do with 'garbage collection' ... and the mission fails to end/load back into the skyranger.

I've struggled with this issue for a while trying to track down the source, initially thought it was to do with Evac All and SPARKS.... ... The mission is normally fine after a reload.


The mod is great, been using it since day one ... and it only came to light it -might- be this mod causing the issue because several streamers I watch have experienced the same thing, and one of the common denominators between the modpacks is this mod. The issue is repeatable and does not happen if this mod is removed.

Reporting that it doesn't crash as I used a reapers claymore and evacced.. Clean you mod files up people

Reporting that this mod does indeed crash upon evac if you destroyed a sensor fence with a Reaper's claymore in order to proceed through undetected.

Tested on Legendary/Ironman while rescuing Mox.

Client throws a number of garbage collection errors into the log and CTDs while loading the Skyranger. Disabling the mod and reloading the same save, using the same moves allows the mission to end and move back to the strategy layer without incident.

I think that's the point

The idea of this mod is great, but when I've subscribed for it, the very first evacuation mission has no entrance, only corner-towers and Sensor Fences. That ruined everything, I just couldn't make a step into the zone without alarm.

LOL I thought they did this in vanilla and had been avoiding them @_@

The idea behind this mod is great and it's very lore friendly. However I think it has compatibility issues with missions which have an EVAC zone or with the EVAC All mod. I've noticed that when I complete a mission which ends with an EVAC, the game (sometimes) freezes at the next loading screen (Skyranger scene with your overall stats from the battle).

@Arkanix I just had this same issue, however it was not my first rescue... It was the first time I had destroyed a sensor fence on a mission though...

@Tweevle - I had an idea for this mod. If you can set a mapwide alert for sound at the location the sensor fence was crossed, this mod would alert units to that location. It would really work well with yellow alert gameplay.

I had to remove the mod. He made me crash during the loading screen after a rescue mission (first mission where I met barriers, I think). I use WOTC

@Rob, don't give Tweevle that idea... The game's hard enough now as it is... I couldn't imagine failing a mission because a bird caused me to be revealed. Moreover, civilians

Birds aren't units, have no gamestate or data associate with them, how in the world could they possibly set it off, they are particle FX

But what if a bird fly through them? I think where was a motive behind the fact that they're not used in that way

This is superbly implemented. I run an ungodly amount of mods (307 to be exact) and any time I install a new one, I fire up for the requisite bughunt. Not the case here. Excellent anti-cheese mechanic that sould have been part of the base. looking forward to future offerings. :)

Yeah i was disappointed Advent's fences didn't detect you when you vaulted through them. But this makes the XCOM 2 Masochistic tendencies in me go "YESSSSS!"

Thanks for this mod!

Having enemies bump into the fences when killed is just extra. Small, but nice feature :D

Watching the intro when I played the game the first time, I thought that is how the fences work.
So I sneaked around them for a couple of missions. ^^
Tempting to try the mod. But now I'm used to the poor ADVENT defence system. xD

Is there a reason I don't have an XComGame.ini file as I would assume the DLCIdentifier is required?

Had a mission using this mod for the Mox mission. Front gate open but guarded by turrets. No one but my Reaper Dragunova could get by them. Went around side and held Dragunova and one soldier outside the fence while by rescuer broke cover by going through the fence. He got in and did the rescue and made it to evac. My other soldier broke cover and evac'd too. But the Reaper was still hidden with two dropships of troops, plus guards. They were running around like mad while I took the hidden Reaper to the front gate and through the prison dodging turrets and troopers. She got to evac safely without being discovered till she was waving so long suckers as she's being drawn into the sky Ranger. Best rescue mission ever all due to this mod!

watching the original Xcom 2 intro you'd think that's how they naitively worked, especially since they are literally a perimeter what point is having a holo-fence on top of a real fence anyways if it doesn't alert you when the holo-fence is breached

Such a good idea!
