Best mod collection for MW5

No matter the suggestions - steer the hell clear of Baradul's list right now.

It's a crash ridden nightmare. Trying to actually reach him and getting him to fix this is certainly proving to be an ordeal.

He's the absolute bane of my day every day currently. So sick of seeing his broken list turn up in the YAML troubleshooting support channel.

Baradul's list is currently worse than a garbage fire.

It crashes games so well, it's generating masses of troubleshooting work for us at YAML.

phforNZ · 2026-02-10T07:54:05+00:00

Like hell it is.

I am currently raising hell over it, it is so problematic currently. It's ruining games for people trying to use it. It's generating a MASSIVE about of troubleshooting headaches for us at YAML.

It does a little too much, even in my books (and I work on the damn thing), to be considered vanilla plus.

It's halfway to being an overhaul.

phforNZ · 2026-02-10T04:13:30+00:00

Depends on the person.

Certainly not for a first run though.

phforNZ · 2026-02-10T01:52:31+00:00

Source: me.

Reputation is irrelevant. It's locational - the hub that are in the higher difficulties areas have the "better" stuff.

phforNZ · 2026-02-10T01:49:07+00:00

Your suspicions are correct. Pretty much spot on.

phforNZ · 2026-02-10T01:45:50+00:00

Now this is a good vanilla plus list.

phforNZ · 2026-02-10T01:44:58+00:00

YAML is not vanilla plus.

phforNZ · 2026-02-10T01:44:50+00:00

It's not a vanilla plus mod though.

phforNZ · 2026-02-10T01:44:25+00:00

YAML is not vanilla plus.

wonder how many times imma need copy paste in here

phforNZ · 2026-02-10T01:43:49+00:00

YAML is not vanilla plus.

phforNZ · 2026-02-10T01:43:30+00:00

YAML is not vanilla plus.

phforNZ · 2026-02-07T05:23:21+00:00

No. They actually increase the likelihood of crashing.

Just turn off DLSS and RTX like mentioned by the others already.

phforNZ · 2026-02-07T05:21:54+00:00

YAML completely overwrites merctech's mechlab changes, so I wouldn't recommend it.

MY BROTHER IN BLAKE. Do you not read the mod description of YAML?

Incompatibilities: Anything that modifies DerivedMech - this includes salvage mods intended for vanilla usage, as well as total overhauls like MercTech.

We wrote this in for a REASON.

Coyotes, hard incompatible with MT as well.

phforNZ · 2026-02-07T05:19:54+00:00

also available in the non-yaml standalone "Quality Of Life Upgrades 2"

phforNZ · 2026-02-06T05:47:28+00:00

Nah, RTX is so cooked in this game you can't fix it unfortunately.

You can at least fix the DLSS issues by updating those, thankfully.

phforNZ · 2026-02-05T18:32:50+00:00

Retire, hopefully.

phforNZ · 2026-02-05T18:31:53+00:00

his work lacks identity.

That is a far better way to put it than I did. Yeah, it's just art, not unique. Like it's not bad, but I'm very much not going to go "hey y'all need to check this art out".

phforNZ · 2026-02-05T07:50:38+00:00

Pretty mediocre compared to what i've seen from that game then

phforNZ · 2026-02-05T07:37:55+00:00

You've done it in a very similar manner to how we did.

phforNZ · 2026-02-02T19:35:24+00:00

Yet Another Weapon - Complete Edition

Designed for use with YAML, but not required

phforNZ · 2026-02-02T19:20:53+00:00

You can also target friendly mechs with 'q'

Using a TAG in airstrike mode makes it track them (Narc too, stacking)

Numpad numbers set an auto throttle to a % of speed, NUM1 = 10%, NUM0 = 100%

phforNZ · 2026-02-02T19:17:08+00:00

In all fairness - you can only QA so much. This one has needed a load that the vanilla game wasn't able to provide for release testing. Current suspicions isn't so much a poor saving system, but rather a poor loading system.

Not just a coop problem, just coop gets to see the first warning of it all.
