xcom2-launcher VS GlosSI

If you're not using the Alternative Mod Launcher you should

Get Alternative Mod Launcher. https://github.com/X2CommunityCore/xcom2-launcher/wiki

It's weird that verifying files doesn't work. Try renaming the config folder in user/documents/my games/xcom/xcomwotc, when you launch the game it should regenerate the folder and maybe it'll run properly. Also, even if you don't use mods try the Alternative Mod Launcher, the 2k launcher is garbage.

I've never used the 2k launcher but I've heard from modders that it's so useless that sometimes it fails to even load the game, don't even think of loading mods with it. I don't know if this is your problem but you can try to use the Alternative Mod Launcher, of course you don't need to actually load any mods, just use it to launch the game, maybe that will work

You shouldn't be using the 2k launcher, use the AML instead, if it doesn't find the mods go into settings and add the folder to the list

Check this sub's wiki, at the bottom it shows you how to set up a local mods folder, then you should add that folder to AML, which you should be using for modded XCOM 2

Dude, the og launcher Is shit; you gotta use the AML if you wanna play X2 decently. AML stands for Alternative Mod Launcher, and it's an X2 launcher built by the community to make mod management easier (and since the various launcher updates, keep the game running as well...) You can find it here on GitHub: https://github.com/X2CommunityCore/xcom2-launcher

Download the Xcom Alternative Mod Launcher from here: https://github.com/X2CommunityCore/xcom2-launcher

Are you using the AML ? It will tell you if there is any conflicts, tho it can't show all the problems that your list might have

Try installing glossi on your host system and running it though that https://github.com/Alia5/GlosSI

GlosSI

If it’s a “non-steam” game, like Diablo IV, I use https://github.com/Alia5/GlosSI to act as the non-steam game for the launcher.

Download GlosSI installer from https://github.com/Alia5/GlosSI (when asked to during installation, install ViGEM driver as well)

Check out GloSI and it's Playnite extension, might be easier to assign input per game from Playnite

There are apps that act as middleware between Steam and these 3rd party launchers that can help. I use GlosSI.

You simply can't because there are no Drivers for it and Steam.exe is acting like the driver itself so that even projects like https://github.com/Alia5/GlosSI are piggybacking on Steam.exe's existence. You may try combining that GlosSI + SteamCMD (command line version) for a minimal impact on your system but you can't avoid installing Steam.

Now I assume you are running it through steam to make use of steam input. The workaround to run the launcher independently and still use steam input is to use glossi . Here’s a YouTube video on how to set it up: youtube .
