Here's my second annual warning. Musashi retired from XCOM 2 modding in 2021. This mod hasn't been updated since 2019.

This mod will not get fixed or updated by Musashi.

Therefore it is not compatible with a lot of newer mods, and is essentially broken in most circumstances. If you are experienced with X2 modding might be able to get it working, but there are no guarantees.

It's best to leave this mod (and all the mods dependent on it) alone.

After several hours i finally fixed it (for my game). Badaia's fix works... but only for the abilities he specified (SwordSlice, Slash_LW, SwordSlice_LW). And not every class that uses a sword necessarily also uses one of those abilities.

In my case, i was trying to get it to work with the Intelligence Officer class. And this one uses WOTC_APA_SwordSlice. So, in my case the fix was this:

+StealthAbilities=(AbilityName=WOTC_APA_SwordSlice, ConcealmentLossOverride=50, WeaponCategoryRequirements=(sword))

Hope this helps. If Badaia's fix doesn't work for you, open the XcomClassData.ini of the class you want and check what AbilityName that class uses for its melee attacks.

i can run the game but can not edit weapons -_- (could be this or some other mod)

The mod is indeed totally broken, right?

@Best cook does this happen when the mod is uninstaled? i got that issue

please fix

please fix the mod

it works just did and it was alone maybe get it in the game first before adding more mods to the game if it works

Can't run the game because of "error detected attempting load of package: Stealths Ovehaul". The fix doesn't work

no but for me it sometimes works sometimes not

Hello, maybe someone knows how to fix "error detected attempting load of package: Stealths Ovehaul" ??

Musashi retired from XCOM2 modding two years ago noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

can turn the mod on even when uninstaled

It broke my game

I can't run the game even without it! @Deacon Ivory

This mod has not been updated in over 5 years and Musashi retired from XCOM2 modding two years ago. There will be no updates and this mod will almost certainly be incompatible with newer mods. Especially, CI and LWotC. You can attempt to run it, but your chances of success are directly proportional to the size of your mod list. If you want to run it, read the discussion thread with the "fix" and see how it goes. But, your best bet is to leave this one alone unless you know what you are doing.

@musashi i can't play xcom2 because aml triesm to load it even when uninstaled

It can't load the mod on aml, please fix

bc the code not the same

it just bc what LWOTC code is not same for the reaper this mod dose not work

@Laird Lion Wotc SpecOps Class the class this overhaul use to be for was a lw2 mod so i dont see this crash the game,

pls, someone update, i have too many mod who need this mod to work :'(

Most of the overhaul mods have a huge chance to crash your game while using LWOTC, since it's an overhaul for the entire game. Even if certain overhauls doesn't crash the game, most will create problems in playthroughs. So, aside from the compatible mods and certain improvements, you should use LWOTC seperately. AML, Alternative Mod Loader, is a must in these cases; just disable LWOTC and activate your own modlist. You shouldn't have any problem afterwards.

dose not work with lwtoc

if any one this don't use mod or you will not be able to play your game because you will get Error detected attempting load of package:StealthOverhaul all the damn time even if you have no legacy mod installed.

@bottomscorer what the hell are you always talking about?

When I shoot something with a reaper and it fails the reveal check it has a chance to remain concealed anyway. Does anyone know how to fix this?

One Steam tag should be sufficient!

War of the Chosen

NOT war of the chosen!
NOT WotC!

Found the 'XcomStealthOverhaul.ini' file at last. Workshop/Content/ 2685..........

Yet another one that can't play LW2 now due to the Stealth Overhaul. Doesn't matter if I delete everything and unsubscribe and delete the mod. same debug message every time. As for altering files..I can't even find the 'XComStealthOverhaul.ini'. Mind you, Win 11 doesn't make searching your own pc easy

I get the same error as @Froge does. I would also like a fix.

Does ConcealmentLossOverride=15 mean that there is a 15% chance to lose concealment? or that there is a 15% chance to retain concealment (85% chance of concealment loss)?

What is the default SuperConcealmentLoss value being overridden with this setting?

So... Without Badaia's changing, mod won't work with LWOTC at all?
Does this mod add a Reaper concealment bar to everyone?

Hello, When I try to start the game I get a message on windows saying "Error detected attempting load of package:StealthOverhaul" is there a more detailed log I can check? Thanks in advance

So, I have this idea on making all of the melee weapons different. For Ninjatos, I want to make them CRIT monsters. I also want them to be able to stealth CRIT through armor, but not be able to get through armor when not stealthed.

Does this mod allow you to add bonuses for stealth, or maybe with Stealth Takedown, through ini edits?

So judging by the screenshots up there I'll know this mod is working if everyone has a Reaper-style concealment bar? Having a bunch of trouble then. I've tried the mod ini file changes suggested by badaia below as well as deleting the XcomEngine.ini from My Docments, has anyone else had problems with this but found a solution? I'm using the Alternative Mod Loader.

I've tested with LWOTC, ModJam, Highlander and other 500 mods! :D

XComStealthOverhaul.ini - Insert after other StealthAbilities (necessary to include the ability for sword's movements; concealmentLossOverride defines the risk of losing concealment)

+StealthAbilities=(AbilityName=SwordSlice, ConcealmentLossOverride=50, WeaponCategoryRequirements=(sword))
+StealthAbilities=(AbilityName=Slash_LW, ConcealmentLossOverride=50, WeaponCategoryRequirements=(sword))
+StealthAbilities=(AbilityName=SwordSlice_LW, ConcealmentLossOverride=50, WeaponCategoryRequirements=(sword))

That's it! Good playing!!!

Hi guys! I managed to get the mod working by editing the following files (inside the folder of Stealth Overhaul):

XComGame.ini - insert at the end of file (necessary to adjust the loading mod order - I adjust according my installed mods that interacts with StealthOverhaul):

[WotCStealthOverhaul CHDLCRunOrder]
+RunBefore=DualWieldMelee
+RunBefore=WotCCombatKnives
+RunAfter=LongWarOfTheChosen
+RunAfter=X2WOTCCommunityHighlander
+RunAfter=DLC2CommunityHighlander
+RunAfter=ModJamLWOTC_M2
RunPriorityGroup=RUN_LAST

So, WHERE is "valid stealth abilities"? Seems like the mod does not work, or did I miss something?

Will this work mid-campaign and will it conflict with the Conceal After Battle Mod?

This is all from using the absolutely terrible mod loader from Firaxis. I am using the AML Mod loader for Xcom 2 and this mod works perfectly with no issues for me. This mod doesn't really add anything substantial though, just touches on a small aspect of a part of the game that gets thrown out the instant the shooting starts

i was about to download this and then i looked at the comments by accident. thank the lord Gaben for adding comments to steam

dude really broke our xcoms n dipped sad!

Guys, problem not only and not exactly in this mod. Check discussion above about "ERROR can`t load" it might help. My solution was: deleting this mod and mods connected with it (but i think the problem is not here), checked discussion and deleted duplicated mod "Katana" for legacy and not WoTC. Deactivate all mods for legacy XCOM and then step by step activated it trying to undestand there is a problem. Maybe deleted some unsafe mods in my opinion through all of this. And then suddenly everything worked.

Before deleting everything you can quick check if it`s worth doing what i wrote - deactivated all mods and if the game launches, i think problem is in some mod and game not "corrupted".

Also i use XCOM2 AlternativeModLauncher

@AdibPranata Okay the only solution I found that worked was completely deleting my workshop folder for XCOM 2 and then reinstalling the game again. Hope this help others too.

@iron thanks ima give it a try, but im really scared that it gonna mess up entirely over again. so what works for me its that i purge all the mods and completely avoid the mod that requires the katana and stealth overhaul and it works. too bad i cant play supersoldier class anymore tho

@AdibPranata
try this mod linked below - it helps to remove mods from saves,
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1127050498

ithis debug message of load of package stealth overhaul keeps popping up even tho i unsubbeb from the mod ? anyone found out how to fix this?

so first of all i already tried everything that you guys recommend to do and this attempting ti load of package still pops up everytime i want to play, i didnt install LWOTC, just RPGO, and it was working fine for months until one day this occurs, now i cant play XCOM , ima just gonna wait for a fix for this
