Weapon Benches not working...

I started a new game of ME3 (imported character), and I discovered I could not use the weapon benches properly. I could activate the bench, switch weapons, but I could not apply any mods to my weapons. I tried both the bench in the Mars base, and the bench in the Normandy hangar with the same results. I then imported a different character with the same results.

My copy is 100% legal. I am using no cracks, and no Coalesced mods (or mods of any other kind, including FXAA injectors). I have tried using Origins repair function (did not work), and I am currently reinstalling the whole game.

Has anyone encountered this problem before, andif so how did you fix it, if at all?

    I found the following solution.

    1. Open the save in Gibbed

    2. Go to Raw >> Plot >> Player Variables

    3. Open the Collection editor

    4. Press "Add"

    5. In "Name" enter the name of mod, in "Value" enter the rank of mod

    6. Press "OK"

    7. Go to Uncategorized >> Treasures

    8. Open the Collection editor

    9. Select the members whose name corresponds to the level where found unreported mod (for Mars it's "Biop_ProMar")

    10. Go to Items and open the Collection editor

    11. Add a line with the name of mod

    12. Press "ОК"

    13. Save the file.

     

    In game load edited save.

     

    Name of mod can be found here: http://www.progamercity.net/xbox/6370-mass-effect-3-gibbed-save-editor.html

    So this brought to mind a similar issue with the weapon bench. I can apply every weapon and have no crashes except when I try to exit with the Collector Sniper Rifle equiped. Then game immediately crashes. The assault rifle and pistol are great but I'm a sniper and can't play that single weapon for whatever reason. Help?

    In difference with the known Weapon Bench bug I never heard of this problem.

    Did you tried to repair the Game? (in Origin > Game Library > right click ME3 > Repair)

    Well I did click on the fix button and it's thinking. Maybe it's a clash of mods? but all I have are armor mods and no weapon mods except the ones Origin has. Gah.

    It could be very well a mod related issue. 

    So you preformed the repair? You will have to install the mods again after that.

    I think it's a mod issue though the base mod for collector weapons is Origin. Maybe....an armor mod? The Sniper and SMG of Collector make are not working .Assault rifle works just fine. I can make that my makeshift sniper if I have too. lol.

  • Just want to add for anyone wills playing the game, the weapon mod bug isn't mod related and it probably isn't DLC related. I'm playing the game for the first time, clean install and the only addition to the main game is the extended ending. Still having the problem, and no fix I've found online has worked. Guess the next step is save editing in every mod I miss.

    And this is after I had to deal with my Shepard's face not transferring properly, too. Congratulations EA, you really know how to make players regret giving you money.
