I now get notified that one file (rather than the previous two) is unverifiable and being replaced every time I re-verify after a crash, but it doesn't achieve anything. I've tried clearing my other save files and my config again, and re-verifying the integrity of the game files several times. I've had the same issue several times, including using the restart mission console command and other quick cheats to try out both killing and capturing the VIP - both same result. If it's relevant, I'm in the early-mid game (Octoberish iirc, Mag-level technology, two regions liberated, eight total contacted, currently infiltrating the Blacksite with a different squad) and the mission was a Dark VIP capture/kill. I found the steps online to remedy it - clear save files, clear config, and verify integrity of game files (two files were replaced), and after doing that plus tidying up my mod list a little it all ran smoothly, until the current point in my campaign - which now seems dead in the water because I cannot successfully leave this particular mission. Initially (last week), coming back to XCOM2/LW2 after a long time, I was unable to start a new campaign due to this issue consistently happening after Gatecrasher any time I tried to start a new campaign. I am getting an every-time, consistent error in my ongoing ironman campaign, where after a mission the game will freeze momentarily and then shortly after CTD in the Skyranger.
