xcom2-launcher VS lwotc

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

See : https://github.com/long-war-2/lwotc/issues/1569

The game starts fine with Long War (of the Chosen) and other mods, and I was able to start a campaign. But when I started the second mission, the game crashed. I was able to find a fix: https://github.com/long-war-2/lwotc/issues/1580 Since then it runs fine. Performance is also good.

Youa re correct in the way it is supposed to work, unfortunately there is an unresolved bug with Trojan where it will only take your base hack score into account, not any bonus from Gremlin/Skulljack - so it's hard to predict what your damage will be. But in theory it would be 8 base hacking rolls with each successful one adding 1 damage. For reference: https://github.com/long-war-2/lwotc/pull/1493

For more useful tips have a look at LWOTC new player's resources and the classic XCOM 2 mod troubleshooting. One of their tips is to make sure you run AML in administrator mode if you run Steam in administrator mode.

Yes, https://github.com/long-war-2/lwotc/tree/master/LongWarOfTheChosen

It's updated fairly regularly, but since it's out on Steam Workshop now, I think that means it's pretty close to being final, other than minor bugs reported on Github. See its page for yourself here: https://github.com/long-war-2/lwotc

I had trouble figuring this out too. Solution was to un-subscribe from the Steam version and extract the dev build to the XCOM 2 install location, using the instructions for Manual Installation at https://github.com/long-war-2/lwotc/wiki/Installing-Long-War-of-the-Chosen
