xcom2-launcher VS OpenXcom

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

OpenXCOM - XCOM clone. C++, SDL2

Love(ed) that game.

Always wonder where they get their "recruits", who seem to have trouble with aiming their weapons towards the enemy.

There's an open-source & cross platform remake of the engine. You still need the original game assets.

Easy to mod - he config files are YAML.

(Before I say anything I just want to say that I've only played TFTD on beginner. I don't know if this works on the harder difficulties, but I feel like the strategy is relatively sound. Please don't take my word as gospel lol. Also, PLEASE USE OPENXCOM! It's a lifesaver.)

If you want to go for that ride I highly recommend to buy the game and install OpenXCom which comes with full compability on modern systems and QoL improvements and a ton of mods and bugfixes (note you need a copy of the original to play openxcom as it uses the sprites, music etc.): https://openxcom.org/

X-Com was just so hard, and I kept naming all my soldiers various family and friend names ... and boy did they die a lot. I still go back and play it randomly to this day, thanks to the https://openxcom.org project 🤘🤘🤘

Are you talking about this? That's a homage to the original X-COM games, not the two revived XCOM games (Enemy Unknown and 2).

With the amount of streams I have with modded openxcom, I'm pretty sure I'm already addicted to it.

Til dem der ikke er færdig med at spille UFO: Enemy Unknown, så er der ret meget at hente i OpenXcom. Spil var bare bedre dengang.

Good old one :) https://openxcom.org/
