Could this mod be useful again by making the % configurable? The highlander has no such option in its configs...

Thanks Phar

PSA:
This has been integrated into X2WOTCCommunityHighlander as of v1.26.3

Is this bug fixed in LWOTC?

I can't believe this wasn't ever fixed by Fireaxis. Mistakes happen, but fix it ffs.

@everyone
The bugfix from this mod is now integrated into the BETA version of the Highlander.

Maybe this problem has been fixed in the vanilla? I mean i wasn't using any mods but my place hasn't been sabotaged successfully many times.

One Steam tag should be sufficient!

War of the Chosen

NOT war of the chosen!
NOT WotC!

Just finished a campaign with about 685 mods, this one included, and had no major issues! Thanks for putting this up.

Does LWotC fix this?

@Rtma Eros Paragon
Not as far as I know, no.

Has their been a fix from Highlander for this?
SpiralD 21 Feb, 2020 @ 12:07am 
@thementat Bit late but yes can confirm, while this mod is active i have been sabotaged. Eg this months black markets items have been stolen and when i went there it was closed. although i could still sell.

You probably already know at this point but i'm answering for lurkers + those who can't ask due to the struggle with dyslexia.
SpiralD 13 Jan, 2020 @ 5:25am 
Can confirm i my last run a sabotage failed. I'm still kinda a noob at this game but i'm pretty sure that was this mod doing gods work.

I just completed a WOTC campaign with 104 mods including this one. It all went well (not that I particularly noticed this mod's effect at all).
Bladesuun 4 Jul, 2019 @ 3:08am 
Is it possible this mod is broken? The only reason I am wondering is because I have played War of the Chosen a lot and Sabotage has never failed before (presumably because the chances were broken), but after installing this mod I am 12/12 for Sabotage failing. It even failed several times while I had no Defense Matrix built.

It's possible I just got insanely lucky rolls though.

@initium - I don't mean the general "Hunt XCOM" mission with the UFO; that one always occurs. What I'm referring to is the Chosen Sabotage mission with the massive railgun.
initium 29 Dec, 2018 @ 3:15pm 
@Darkseirl - I've had this mod running for well over a year and played WOTC at Commander and Legend levels. I've always had the mission which downs the Avenger, if this is the mission you're referring to. You do notice the deference more at Legendary level as your priorities may mean you don't get the Defence Matrix for a while and then you see the difference in sagotage effectiveness.
Rtma Eros Paragon 24 Dec, 2018 @ 12:46pm 
Is this fixed or Is this an issuse still in the base game that need the help of modders to fix what the Devs left behind?
Darkswirl 8 Dec, 2018 @ 7:41pm 
Definitely needs a rebalance; a defense buff is nice, especially since it's what the game implies, but having run 200+ hours in a game and having never had the related mission spawn is kind of annoying.
Slayer0fKings 4 Dec, 2018 @ 10:08pm 
Will this work mid Campaign?
Dragon32 12 May, 2018 @ 9:21am 
@Bran_Camp:
Fixing this hasn't been in either of the two patch notes for WotC. So, AFAIK, it's still needed.
TeamCaffeine 12 May, 2018 @ 7:24am 
Does anyone know if this was fixed, do we still need this mod?
Cake_Knight 30 Nov, 2017 @ 3:46pm 
Is this still needed?
Hard Gridlock 19 Oct, 2017 @ 10:27pm 
@Vaarden The idea is that the Defense Matrix building itself isn't just a closet to store your Turrets in, in the event of a ground assault. The matrix also monitors the Avenger's perimeter, as well as scans for infiltrators.

Using those features, any Chosen would have a much more difficult time infiltrating the Avenger with a functional Defense Matrix.
Peerless Girl 19 Oct, 2017 @ 1:40pm 
Do we know if this was fixed in the Fall Patch? No notes about it, but you never know...(they did fix a BUNCH of these issues to the person below me).
Outis 10 Oct, 2017 @ 12:10pm 
Firaxis' QA policy is "let the modders fix it". <continues to count the money while smoking a cigar>
Wolfram 25 Sep, 2017 @ 6:48pm 
Is it possible to set things up so the basic Defence Matrix gives a smaller modifier than an upgraded one? For example, sabotage has a 50% chance with a Defence Matrix, and 25% with an upgraded Matrix.
Rodon 23 Sep, 2017 @ 5:48am 
@Vaarden - There's actually a random hint when loading that states that the Defense Matrix helps defend against Chosen Sabotage.
DaddyHammer 21 Sep, 2017 @ 2:13pm 
cause he fix so much ;D
Dragon32 21 Sep, 2017 @ 1:54pm 
@MajorHyrican:
What's that got to do with this mod? Post in the general Discussions forum, or (better) search it for "key bindings"
DaddyHammer 21 Sep, 2017 @ 1:51pm 
Hey i have problem , i will use my own buttons for overwach and other things like intereckt with somthing with F i chose my buttons, i save it but after i end my game i need do it again when im starting play its anoing pls HELP
Willy "Big John" Helldiver 21 Sep, 2017 @ 11:26am 
I really appreciate all your work, RM. At what point does Firaxis ditch its QA team and just hire you to do whatever the F' you want to do with XCom 2: Chosen of the Machina?
Irrumatio 21 Sep, 2017 @ 7:25am 
Are your bugfix mods idempotent?
In other words, if the bug is fixed in the interim, are you sure your mods will either stop working or at least won't further impact the game?
Vaardҿn 21 Sep, 2017 @ 4:33am 
The defense Matrix is for the Ground Attack Mission only when Advent found your ship and is attacking.
How would two/four turrents be able to counter a chosens sabotage on your ship?
Imho this mod implements a really unlogic gameplay mechanic.

It is can updating chat-block of game $_$!

wolff_laarcen 18 Sep, 2017 @ 8:02pm 
Thanks for another quality bugfix, RealityMachina.
Dragon32 18 Sep, 2017 @ 2:15pm 
@Nagumo:
In vanilla you had to research ADVENT Turret Breakdown first. Assume it's the same in WoTC.
Nagumo 18 Sep, 2017 @ 2:09pm 
I'm around 40h in WOTC and haven't been able to build the defence matrix oO Which way i build this? I know from vanilla that it is possible but there is no option in the building menu for me AND i have no room for that. Don't get it XD
Peerless Girl 17 Sep, 2017 @ 9:46pm 
Does this work in an already-running campaign? I hope so, since I'm giving it a shot...
Ramlrm 17 Sep, 2017 @ 9:20pm 
@realitymachina Do you know where the Default Chosen Chance is at? Does it work similar to mocx where every mission I dont see the chosen % increases.
Dirigible 16 Sep, 2017 @ 3:57pm 
lol, as if Firaxis is ever going to fix anything unless they make another DLC
Schadenfreude 16 Sep, 2017 @ 8:07am 
Many thanks for all the fixes!
Astery 16 Sep, 2017 @ 12:09am 
@Arkhangel yea....no. This is not a school project, they are getting paid to do their job. Not lol let's see if modders are good enough to fix it.
Nasarog 15 Sep, 2017 @ 5:07pm 
Yup. You and a few othe rmodders do a better job fixing XCOm2 than their QA/QC team. THANK YOU for you hard work!
Podunk Noname 15 Sep, 2017 @ 4:43pm 
I hope they at least send you flowers.
Tarsis 15 Sep, 2017 @ 4:08pm 
Jake should send you a check RM. Jake? Fix your game *before* you ship it man.
Arkhangel 15 Sep, 2017 @ 4:05pm 
@Chrizzly Bear: in fairness, SOME are actually easy to overlook. plus firaxis might actually be testing the modding community to see how many they find before they hotfix.
Chrizzly Bear 15 Sep, 2017 @ 3:35pm 
I don't know how all these mistakes slipped through... Thanks for fixing the game RealityMachina. :P
