Do we need to install patch 6.1 first before patching to 6.2?
Or can we just patch V6 to 6.2 and skip 6.1 entirely?
You can completely skip 6.1 and just go with 6.2!
CONFIRMED The jobs a "gudd'un" you fettled that door bug!! :}
At least there's some hope in Hadleys now!
thanks james : )
Great,nice work ！
Ihr Seid einfach Mega. Nur wegen eurem Mod das Game gekauft.Danke
Jo. Das Spiel ist jetzt in jedem Fall besser. Aber alle bugs kann man nicht beseitigen.
Door works fine but I am having some trouble in those defense situations situations where xenomorphs are supposed to rush me. Sometimes they just stop spawning, there's also nothing on the motion tracker.
I noticed that on the Sulaco trying to reach the umbilical, and on the command centre in Hadley's Hope after setting up the sentry gun.
The mission also won't advance if the xenos won't keep coming in the command centre.
This is the famouse "freezing bug". Some boots or npc´s just freezing somewere and the next skript won´t load.
On the Sulaco for example, were Key´s try to open the door, there is one xeno behind the dropship that is stocked and upside down (mostly). This one is the last xeno from the second wave and prefented the third wave coming, if you don´t go behind the dropship and kill it.
The mod got nothing to do with this "bug" you got this in the vanilla version too. The mod reduced the freezing but can´t fixed it.
Unfortunately sometimes the ai gets stuck, I have not been able to figure out the root cause after all the time so it still happens sometimes. Look out for xenos stuck on things and kill them to keep the flow going. In the hanger in level 1 for example they often get stuck either on the right drop-ship support arm, or near the vent on the far wall they spawn in from in the second wave.
Level 4 in operations though is a bit more unfortunate. There is a nav point outside the operations that they get stuck on, and you can't see it. You can avoid it by shooting and killing the xenos that come in through the top right area of the whole in the wall, so they dont go back out the way they came
The second mission in the Stasis Interrupted is not load just keep crashing.
Hi there, thanks for reporting, I am looking into it and should have a solution soon
For time being would you recommend going back to V5?
Thanks again!
Hi, I have the same issue. Did you happen to find any solution? Thanks to the mod I'm actually enjoying the game (thank you!), especially SE. I need to check if that will also be the case in the second mission :)
Having this issue too, James. 2nd mission starts to load then CTD.
Any update on this? I'm also having this issue. By the way, otherwise, this mod is really good and the community really appreciates you creating it :)
Still having this issue
Thanks for your great work on the mod! The new xeno behavior has me quite on edge!
I second what Retr0_Divergent said. Same issue here.
Just played throught the main campaign and the first level of the DLC this last week, then came to continue only to be faced with this crash whenever loading the second level of the DLC. Is there any fix for this yet?
Yeah, I can also confirm that. After finishing the first mission, when in the loading screen to continue to the second one, it just crashes.
I am also having this problem. The main campaign and mission 1 of Stasis was fine, but the second mission crashes the game as soon as the loading screen completes.
I have tried reducing all Graphics settings to minimal, with no luck
Same issue here. Great mod though! :-D
Problem still there in Oktober 2022 :( You cant play the DLC for more than the first mission.
I had a problem in the first mission where I couldn't pick up ammo for any of my weapons (pulse rifle and the shotgun) I ran out of ammo for the shotgun and saw an ammo cache but it said I had full ammo and couldn't pick it up, is this a bug or a design choice to make the gameplay more tense?
Never mind i'm an idiot, I figured you can replace your weapons by pressing b on the keyboard. Ignore this.
It´s not a bug, it´s a feature. You get less ammo, depending on the power of your weapon.
Remember, short controlled bursts. :-)
I have restarted the game in order after installing the mod. I too cant pick up ammo and since I haven't finished the main game (cos I want to do it in order this time) I have no other weapons. Do I have to finish the chapter with the handgun?
Its randomized now to make the need for fire control during the campaign. In the original game, bags of ammo for whatever guns you were needing ammo for would spawn everywhere and you never had to switch weapon unless you wanted to
Is there anyway to revert to more freely available ammo?
I find the limited ammo quite frustrating and I would enjoy the game a lot more if ammo were more available. Other than that the mod is amazing so Im hoping there is a solution here
me and my friends have a problem where the game crashes quite often on Rampart, and if you get past that, once you get to the big door after encountering the Queen, it crashes the game regardless.
Hi, really appreciate your hard work with this mod. I tried the game when it was released and gave up, now i get to play it properly :D
I noticed a couple of things though:
1) In the firing range, the names of the guns don't seem to be correct for the one i have the cross hair over. Looks like it is reading the adjacent gun or something.
2) When i get knocked down by an alien and have to press (E) repeatedly im not sure if its registering my key strokes. Seems like 50% of the time it doesnt and i end up dead despite me pressing the button like a crazy man.
Also... and probably not a mod issue... how can i switch back to using the pulse rife in campaign mode after i have found Hicks' shotgun? Im currently wielding two shotguns and run out of ammo FAST. So fast i still havent made it past level 2
EDIT
I figured out how to change guns but another issue just came up:
3) Game crashed on level 2, just after listening to the 2nd doctors log, cut open the door, go inside, around the corner and CRASH after i just shot dead a facehugger. I'll try it again to see if its repeatable
EDIT2
Didnt crash again so i guess 3) was just a one-off
I appears trying to run stasis interrupted mission two on V6 with patch, is creating a reset loop of the game.
UPDATE: sorry about that, see this was already reported in.
Everything else seemed to work fine.
Tried the game on a clean install (no mod) and it seems to run.
Just letting you know as otherwise, it was an EPIC overhaul. Played the full game on V5, and it was awesome!
Thank you!
yes it works thanks for that now i can continue playing
I'm sorry that I answer so late I thought it would take a little longer to fix it xD
will there be another hotfix released or is this the final one?
Oof I tryed the mod but the game doesnt start up anymore can you mabye help??
x2 help help help
Aliens : Colonial Marines Overhaul Version 6 Reshade RTGI Ray Tracing - mission 1
O'Neil gets stuck on Hadley's hope when you are killing aliens with the smart gun, is it the mod or the game? I can't get pass through it.
Hi, First, thank you for creating this. I enjoyed the game from release but wished it was more polished and you have achieved that.
I am running into an issue in the Stasis Interrupted DLC, I played through the first mission Asylum but the second mission Awakening will not load, game just shuts down and restarts. Have tried loading into the mission in the mission select menu but same issue occurs.
Anyone having the same problem. Note, it is not crashing anywhere else.
Thank you,
Hello! the game is amazing after the most recent mod! A friend and I have been playing through the co-op campaign and it has ran flawlessly. Unfortunately, when playing the Rampant mission, we hit the checkpoint before locating the Marine being held hostage. When opening the door directly after the task we encounter a crash every time. Please Help!
Do you still have the earlier add-on AI and Pecan.upk files from the v6 final build and V6 August build ? If so could you upload them here? I find those one to be the best AI for the Xenos.The AI in finalize v6 mod have glitching animations. They sometimes walk and run backwards or sideways. They also don't attack me that much at all. They mostly attack the AI Npc's. One more thing, do you think you could make a video on making adjustments to the xeno melee and acid range damage and how to create our own file to upload? I have everything I need to modify the files but I don't know where to find the damages and what hex numbers do I need to increase certain things. Right now I use the August v6 pencan.upk.bak file for the finalize v6 mod. I changed it to just pecan.upk. it works perfectly. It has the rain effects for hardly hope is works,slime in the first door that leads to the marine named Keys and the Duplis bug is gone.All it needs is for the Xenos deal more melee damage and the acid spray radius for the Xenos. The acid damage itself is perfect but the have to be in your be right in your face. I want to increase the range to where it can hit you when they're about 2 to 3 feet away. One more thing, is it possible to disable melee for the marines? We should not be able to smack a xeno and live to tell about it lol! I looked all in the base and default input files and didn't see it.
Game crashes on Rampart level when you open the door down the stairs after the Queen gets angry.
Am I the only one who happens that the game does not start after the ACM logo appears templar overhaul?
I doubt if anyone is having problems other than what they named. You probably install it wrong.
I have 2 other people who are running it into the same issue. They did the same thing I did (followed instructions). So maybe we're missing something?
The two people having issues are on Laptops, vs myself and everyone else I know running it with no issues on Desktops. I doubt that has any affect on the game, but it's interesting that the 2 laptop people are having issues.
Did you delete alien cm file from your document/my game/ alien cm file? You have to delete that saved game before you run the game with the mod. That's the only time I have run into a similar problem with earlier mods and I'm sure this is no different. Also did you have a previous mod installed prior to this one? If so first you will have to verify your alien cm files. When you do that steam basically restore all changes made by mods to default game files then after that delete the your alien cm saved file in documents/ my game/ you will see Alien cm. Just right click on it and delete. Now you are ready to install and play the game.
I have the same issue on my laptop! A few other people have mentioned this, and they've all been ignored!! Typical! As long as it runs on the majority, they don't care about the few that it doesn't so basically anyone gaming on a laptop can't use this mod.......
I have this issue, followed install instructions to the letter, coped files from archive to game folder, deleted my saved game folder from mygames folder, then ran the batch file which said it completed successfully. Get splash screen then nothing. Strangely game ran ok before the patch was just hoping to sort the AI.

Hey Templar we appreciate everything you have done for aliens cm. Everything looks good. One thing I seen is the AI of Xenos rarely attacks me, the only ones attack me as normal are the spitters. The other xenod attack npc's far more than me. I have a request though. Can you upload the AI files from your early v6 test build. They are the add-ons from 8/5/2019. They are far better because they zig zag when they run making it hard to hit them. They also flank and don't get stuck as much. The only problem I had was that they had weak melee attacks. I play with the faster Xenos from those add-ons. If you could give them the same melee damage as the Xenos in September v6 AI files and the spitters Xenos to the old 8/5/2019 files then it would be perfect. Along with not being able to get off face hungers and lukers. Make this happen please for hard core aliens fans like myself. I play online with it and people noticed the difference and wondered how I got the Xenos like that. All you have to do is increase the melee damage for Xenos and make the spitters like the ones you have now in v6, let us not be able to kick off lukers or pull off face hungers and if possible stop the lukers from hissing and growling. This will make us really use motion tracker. Just update those add-on files from 8/5/2019 please! I will pay you 100 bucks to do it.Do not change their behavior just modify their melee damage,let us not be able to pull off face huggers or lurkers. The only behavior you would have to change is the spitters which you would make them like the ones from the current v6 mod. If you can't get rid of the lurker growling or hissing it's no big deal, I was just asking if it was possible. Also upload the pecan.upk.bak file from August v6 build. I it's the most perfect one. I had to delete the "bak" from the file and that's the pecan.upk I use. Far as I know I have had no problems with it. No crashing, the Duplis bug is gone. Anyone who wants the game to be easy then let them have the current add-ons. I'm not asking for another mod because I know you said v6 your was the last mod. Just modify the add-ons from 8/5/19. Call it v6 hardcore add-ons or something. Once again thank you for all you have done!
For the moment if anyone wants to play alien cm hardcore edition 😁.
I use Templar v5 overhaul mod on low master effects, I use the Xenos AI from an early v6 test build add-on. I play faster tougher Xenos on single campaign but co op I play just faster Xenos. I also play with a Pecan.upk file from another early v6 test build which was the last one before the release of the official build. It's called the August v6 build. The August build had two pecan.upk files but one says pecan.upk.bak. Delete the ".bak." and there you go no problems. No crashes, Duplis bug, no nothing. It's a whole new game and I love with the exception of being able to pull off face huggers and lukers. All credit is given to Templar because these are his mods. He has worked hard to please everyone. One minute he makes it hard then you get the very people who complained about the default game being to easy, no acid damage and horrible AI then goes on to complain that it's too hard. The mods I use from Templars collection is great and I enjoyed this game for the first time. If he can just modify those add-ons I mentioned and upload them for us hardcore Aliens fans then this will be good. Me and my friends had to really use the motion trackers at times.
