Well I figure I would make a new thread as this seems to be a new issue after the latest Patch. Well good thing I always monitor my temps and cpu/ram usage as I noticed that when I had a bunch of voice packs installed my memory usage when starting the game spiked up to 90% (5-6gb from Xcom2). Now when I uninstalled the newer ones it went down to 3.5gb usage(still way higher than before), I have to keep a few on there as they are part of my latest save.

I also noticed when I use a soldier with a voice pack (Alex with the voice of the Narrator from Darkest dungeon) the lag and stuttering in the sky ranger increases. I only started downloading voice packs after the crashing issue was fixed, but seems like I can't use to many more as it'll crash the game out right.

Anybody else notice this? Have a fix(besides uninstalling mods lol). Maybe an issue with how the mods are made that I could edit myself?

Yes. I took a look at the voice pack mod and on both the Workshop as Nexus there are numerous people echoing the exact problem you're describing. It made me hold off on installing it for the time being.

@zevvion: Wow, I really haven't found anybody talking about it all the mod reviews were great and now I kinda have a bunch installed and tied to my save game. I should be good for now, but I have a whole bunch I want to install lol. Voices and faces are the 2 things I wanted the most as far as mods go.

@oursin_360: Tied to your savegame? If it's voices, can't you change the voices on every one of your soldiers, then remove the mod? I really miss more languages in the game (it has less than EW did), but I'd rather get official voice packs. They'll probably include them in the DLC.

I can try, but i'm pretty sure all workshop mods are tied to the save game and your saves wont' work when uninstalled.

However I just tried a verify check and it uninstalled all my mods and when I re-clicked them all so far the ram usage is back down. I can't test it fully yet but when I get time i'll check and see if everything is fixed or if it was just a fluke.

*edit* nope fluke, got up to 97% percent with all mods turned on

Double edit* lol Save game won't load without voice packs installed

I've only used cosmetic item mods and the one that shuts up bradford, for this reason really worried about ruining my first xcom playthrough, although i did backup before using mods.

I've been using several mods and have no issue. No voice packs though. In the last mission as we speak.

So of course your millage may vary but just saying this seems like a specific issue with voice packs right now.

Yeah i believe this is tied to voice packs, something to do with the patch. I only started using them since ths patch supposedly fixed them but i guess the fix caused this issue, or this issue was always there just overshadowed.

I somehow got a save to work without a couple packsx memory usage down a little more now.

Edit nope didnt work

Here is a "fix" for anybody still looking into this.
