xcom2-launcher VS IronyModManager

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

While I'm not currently using it, and you don't have to use for this mod collection, if you are looking for a way out of the paradox launcher I would strongly recommend the Irony Mod Manager for Paradox Games! You can read more about it here: https://github.com/bcssov/IronyModManager

I think I'm going to cheer you up, you can use this to "steal" and this to manage.

Irony Mod Manager has a conflict checker. It will catch most of your problems.

Dowser.exe, the launcher can be used, start the launcher, log into your Paradox account there and on the Paradox mods website. Once you're on the website you can subscribe to mods. Additionally, I would use the IronyModManager for enabling and disabling mods, personal experience is that mods tend to work better when using it than the regular one with the cracked game version. Not all mods will worked on the cracked version sadly or present on the Paradox mods website.

And there are mod managers like irony or Paradoxos. And pdx-unlimiter can also start pdx games and automatically activate the mods which were used on a given save game. Though I don't know how well any of these tools handle the DLC issue.

Use Irony Mod Manager. Make sure to check compatibility/the mods are updated.

Sadly the Irony Mod Manager is no longer supported and is already showing problems with the newest launcher. You must either find someone who can take over the project or install mods manually.
