I’ve got two separate instances of crashing immediately after drinking a potion, both while playing as a client in a legend match. First one in Hunger in the Dark: ``` GUID: 2eb7e022-0c58-41c5-ae60-cdc73cd62e35 Log File: Info Type: ----------------------------------------------- [Script Error]: scripts/ui/ui_animations.lua:280: attempt to index local 'pictures' (a number value) ----------------------------------------------- [Crash Link]: crashify://2eb7e022-0c58-41c5-ae60-cdc73cd62e35 ``` Second one in Against the Grain: ``` GUID: d8c968f7-d60b-4c2c-a9e3-dfdb5c4c5926 Log File: Info Type: ----------------------------------------------- [Script Error]: scripts/ui/ui_animations.lua:280: attempt to index local 'pictures' (a number value) ----------------------------------------------- [Crash Link]: crashify://d8c968f7-d60b-4c2c-a9e3-dfdb5c4c5926 ``` EDIT: Would like to add that I’ve drank potions plenty of times on multiple matches with no issues. My game only crashed those two times. ---

Could be the ‘parry indicator’ mod or possibly another one, some sanctioned mods are still broken atm. ---

I don’t use parry indicator. Did you also get this particular crash message? Because the crash error messages from the crashing mods I know of are different. ---

I have seen this error from a crashing mod, yes. If it’s guaranteed when drinking a potion, just disable all mods and try the keep potions. ---

It’s not guaranteed. I’ve drank potions plenty of times on multiple matches with no issues; My game only crashed those two times. The only mod being called in the Lua stack in the console logs is VMF and no other mods. Otherwise, I’d have already identified the crashing mod. ---

A list I lifted from the Squirrel Squad discord: Simple UI Loadout manager Mission timer Boss Kill Timer Clock Info dump for streamers (whatever the name for this is) Inventory Filter My Hero In some cases: Third Person Equipment & Weapon Kill Timer (if these aren’t causing crashes for you, don’t bother disabling) Parry Indicator (causes the shields to stay permanently on your screen at all times, even with ranged equipped - just a UI bug) ---

Except Third Person Equipment & Weapon Kill Timer, all of those mods are either disabled or not subscribed to as of the time of crashing. ---

I suspect the UI Improvements mod is playing up here. ---

It seems to actually be caused by UI Tweaks as per an update by its author (issue is now fixed): [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1467751760](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1467751760) ---
