It works, but there's a mod ID duplicate issue with the WotC version.

Solution:

0) Close Alternative Mod Launcher and launch Steam
1) Subscribe to "Stop Wasting My Time - Legacy" version via Steam (on this page)
2) Open Alternative Mod Launcher
3) Delete the "Stop Wasting My Time - WotC" version
4) Close and open again the Alternative Mod Launcher
5) Enable the Legacy version, and reopen Alternative Mod Launcher again.

Now it should work.

:)

Doesn't work on the base game anymore.

Works great, thanks!

if youre having issues with this mod showing up. I had the same issue. what i did was unsub to this mod. sub to the WOTC version, make sure it shows up in the mod list, THEN sub to this one, THEN unsub from the WOTC version and refresh. should show up"

tyvm this worked.

is it still working?

I have no idea if this is working for me or not; doesn't feel like it is. For anyone who reads this, try out "ZIP Mode" in the game options. Speeds up some gameplay animations.

Could you also skip all the mission-specific cutscenes? (Blacksite in particular)

@Ghost[RLG]Guy +1

Greetings,
I had a hard time getting this mod to work at first, what I did and hope will help those having issues, is to subscribe from here and download the mod from Nexus then copy paste the Nexus folder content into steam workshop mod folder(emptying it all together is what I did).

@Ghost[RLG]Guy - wow man, it really worked as you described. Thanks a lot!

Shame this doesnt work, could of been nice for the vanilla version.

Doesn't show up. Perrys fix didn't work.

For some reason this mod doesn't show up in my mods list. Tried Perry's fix but that didn't work. WotC one does work though.

this is not working good as well as WOTC. it only has minor "speed up"

Hi.
I've just reinstall XCom2 after a long pause, and tried to install this mod, and followed preemptively Perry's instructions. Now the game can't launch at all, except for the launcher.
How deleting *.ini files could have helped in any way ?
Cause right now, these are the files missing and crashing the game..
Thx for any help

Not working for me. I tried perry's comment but doesn´t work for me sadly
I will try the WotC version when I get the expansion for sure

Tried it. The mod still works. Although to be fair, i'm using it on a barely modded version of the game.

Follow Perry's advice, if you have any trouble.

can safely say, the mod no longer works :(
Try both xcom 2 mod and AML, and both have no affect

Ok, here is some actual useful (hopefully) information for you all having issues with this mod:
This is what I just did to get this mod to work in Legacy, and trust me, you need this mod... OMG, you have no idea how bad the developers missed the mark on those delays and this mod makes the game pace much better.

1. Make sure you have shut XCOM2 down entirely.
2. Go to \Documents\My Games\XCOM2\XComGame\Config and delete ALL the files within.
3. Unsubscribe from SWMT and Resubscribe (not sure if necessary but didn't test w/o doing it), I unsubed and resubbed all my mods just in case.
4. You should now see all the mod correctly displayed in the XCOM2 login screen, make sure you turn on SWMT.
5. Enjoy

5a: I started a new game, but you should find it works fine in old saves.. but I can confirm it worked for me in new games.

Note: SWMT = Stop Wasting My Time mod... ie.. this one... (just in case)

Yep crashes...

Crashes on launch with this mod. Only this mod active

I don't know what you guys are talking, the mod works just fine.

Please don't forget that you have to change some things in the basic game settings. For example all the unseless animations. You can simply turn them off.

Don't think this mod works, not noticing faster gameplay.

reaffirming that the mod doesn't appear to work.

I'm not noticing any changes, basic install.

Just installed it yesterday for the base game, and yeah, it does not seem to be doing anything.

Hey guys any updates? Have also annoyed about animations, is there any way to reach an author or to write the mod by ourselves?

not working. is it dead?

Mod does not work.

doesn't work.

Not working for me at this time

This mod doesn't work for me.
I checked that it was selected via the mod manager in the launcher, but even with that,
the game is the same, still have that warnings about civilians being killed, etc...

So anything broken ?

Just fired up XCOM2 again after a couple of months away and it fails to start because of three mods including this one (FYI other two are make all items available & remove unused upgrades and true concealment for lw2). Any ideas?

@1again : I'm on mac OS. I dont know what is the files root in a PC computer
(Sorry my english is very bad)

In Mac OS,"Bibliothèque" -> "Application Support" -> "Feral Interactive" -> "XCOM 2" or "XCOM WOTC" -> "VFS" -> "Local" -> "My games" -> "XCOM 2" or "XCOM 2 WOTC" ->"XCOMgame" -> "Config" It's the data files..
Not to be confused with the folder "config" in the Steamapps, the base files on the games.

For verify the games files,"Steam" "XCOM 2" right click -> "Propriety" "local files" "verify the local files".(My name translations are approximate)

Verify the games files solves the most common bug.

@Albertine_Crowley hello, what's means delete data files, save? or some other files?

@Soupidity : I'm playing with LW2 and this mod working in my save.
Delete your data files + Verify your game files, its should be working. (I have make this)

I can also attest that this mod doesn't seem to be doing anything. I'm playing on LW 2

Can you update this files on Nexus please ? :)

Mod doesnt do anything.

Thanks for still providing this. Yes, I am new and only have the base game. No, I'm not interested in making the game even harder! haha

Yea, Should use this one. Faster Animations

Mod doesn't seem to be doing anything at all.

So, I have both legacy and WOTC versions installed and neither seem to be doing anything. Ive played the game several times with the mod enabled and it disabled and there isnt any difference. Only other mods i have are LW 2 (when im not playing wotc) and evac all. Am i missing something?

@"Swi Kiwi" Yep! It'll be put in your Steam download queue, and then you'll see it in the game's launcher when it's done downloading. Open the launcher after it's downloaded, OR press the refresh icon in the top right.

Idiotic question.
Does this MOD install automatically after I press "Subscribe"?

Bleh, glad they didn't just abandon support for those of us with no interest in a $40 "game's not hard enough let's make it dumber" official mod :p
