This version will always be the "beta" version in a sense that it is for testing new features and balance changes. The stable release is updated much less frequently.
advans 6 Jul @ 2:19am 
Is this still beta?
Inksu 30 Jun @ 5:01am 
New maps are really cool!
tiktaalik 21 Jun @ 3:30am 
Cheers to the mega-map update!
Some of the mods in tedjam+ require this mod, is it still needed?

If possible can someone in LWOTC team allow music mods to work again with LWOTC.
It has been a long standing issue.
If someone has found out a config file fix, then please share. There is SO MUCH information out there that Its near impossible to understand the issue or find a solution even if one was posted.

ABN_GOps_Skyranger is from TLE/TLP. TLP is also the source of the 'oops the mission has a big hole in it' problem that comes up once in a while.

Tedster, I dunno if here's a good method of pestering you but I THINK, and this might be wrong so just don't worry about it if it turns out to not be the case, but! It feels like the new RemoveWeaponUpgrade function is causing all the UI elements everywhere in squad loadout to refresh too often. Changing a utility slot item and highlighting a new item causes all the button UI elements on the bottom to refresh. I am fairly sure that wasn't happening before this update, so I figured I'd inform.

Khuru, that means you are using Mod Jam. MJ (and Ted Jam, etc) change those to require corpses from enemy mods.
Khuru 10 Jan @ 3:21am 
In the Proving Ground, I can't choose the projects: Acid grenade, Gas Grenade, Sabot rounds, Corrosive Rounds, or Dragon rounds, even though I have one unit of each one in stock to start the project. In each info window, it doesn't show the item's name, just the number (1) in red, which is weird. Is there anyone else with the same issue?
Alexandr 16 Dec, 2024 @ 1:00am 
Hah, doh. Well, for what it's worth, huge congratulations on 1.2!
Tedster  [author] 15 Dec, 2024 @ 11:34pm 
the weird part is it worked before, but then randomly broke somehow.
Alexandr 15 Dec, 2024 @ 12:32am 
It's honestly not the biggest of issues, I'd say just leave the PsiGate_LW shell out. I imagine you can find some way to replicate the way the game will load in TLP content so that its shells aren't screwed up similarly, but it's really not... worth the effort, I'd argue. It's just a main menu shell, there's plenty of them to work with. :P Although I'm stuck constantly seeing the night slums screen for some reason right now.
Tedster  [author] 14 Dec, 2024 @ 8:20pm 
interesting, I've been looking at it but I wonder why it isn't loaded
Alexandr 8 Dec, 2024 @ 5:38am 
Hey, Tedster, extremely minor cosmetic bug BUT!
XComShell_Wilderness_PsiGate_LW doesn't work right, it has phantom Mutons that aren't visible. Just a floating heavy plasma rifle in air. It's because some mod assets aren't loaded at the main menu yet.

@johnpctaylor i just had this same issue and it was actually my highlander mods

Resubscribe to them and hopefully that fixes it
johnpctaylor 7 Dec, 2024 @ 2:17am 
crashes when trying to access the geoscape for the first time
ptkaczuk 5 Dec, 2024 @ 12:37pm 
If you have Long war of the chosen (not beta) you should unsubscribe first
Cleo 30 Nov, 2024 @ 5:30pm 
Im trying to subscribe to this but it isnt registering in the aml. What am i missing?

How can I solve the problem of my Templar needing to re light their skills every time they complete a mission or read a file
Replay64 28 Nov, 2024 @ 8:43am 
supply extract gives no reward on completion.
ptkaczuk 28 Nov, 2024 @ 8:32am 
To be honest i don't care above triggering multiple times since you cannot rely on single attack.
Purpose of this skill is take care about single big baddie for one turn and let other soldiers take care about rest of pod. Now you cannot do this because you put on risk your own soldier. After change it is useless skill and game is much harder for impossible ironman. Especially in the first months then you are underpowered, no resources it means if you stand close to muton or berserker and count for combatives, you have chance to die and mission f..d up. And I have checked with +4 dodge (no vest) , 2 of 4 attacks on different turns my soldier was hit (it means 2 of 4 attacks were crits). It is not buffed, it is nerfed a lot. As I told you, if you would like to nerf combatives it is much better to parry but not counterattack in case of bad roll. I mean first attack is parried but you dont deal damage back. In this case you can rely on it for single turn of one baddie.
Tedster  [author] 27 Nov, 2024 @ 7:58am 
Combatives was actually buffed to allow it to trigger multiple times a turn. The way it works is it gives 90 dodge vs the first melee attack each turn, so if it grazes/misses it will be converted to a counterattack. However, crit can upgrade the grazes to normal hits or crits, as well as the unit having negative dodge base so they don't get to 100 dodge, meaning the hit stays a normal hit. and goes through, thus you need nanoscale/tactical vest for the crit reduction.


Also, working on UFO chase freeze last update added.
ptkaczuk 22 Nov, 2024 @ 7:40am 
I think combatives has been reworked. And currently it is so bad that it cannot be even relaible for tanking some baddies mutons,berserkers etc. Currently description is that you parry attack that grazes or misses you. So it still can hurt a lot. I had damage from berserker 6 and disorientation as graze attack. This change sucks. It was still not easy. If wanted to rework you could do that way that parry doesnt hurt attacker but still cancel attack.

@Masakary I concur. This or the beta refuses to work for me and has completely broken my modlist. Forcing me to start from scratch and just try CI for once to experience less of a headache
scarlettetout 4 Nov, 2024 @ 12:00pm 
@SuperTit91 Well IMO the Rapid Fire is quite useful. It could serve as some sort of "last resort" when you got only one action point left. Meanwhile, the Cyclic Fire, um... after you got the Travese Fire, why not to take a standard shot then an rapid fire?
tiktaalik 3 Nov, 2024 @ 11:09am 
The templar ate the big axe... :)
SuperTit91 1 Nov, 2024 @ 3:12pm 
Can you guys change the gunners skill tree? they have chain shot, then cyclic, then rapid fire...they dont need rapid fire but none of the perks at that rank are very good
Latis 30 Oct, 2024 @ 3:41pm 
:(
Latis 27 Oct, 2024 @ 2:04pm 
Every time i do a Supply crate extract mission i don't get any reward at the end, only xp for my soldiers.

Switched to experimental highlander and Experimental Long war but that didn't solve the problem either.
Other missions like smash n' grab works properly
Masakary 26 Oct, 2024 @ 9:32am 
The last update (Update: 26 Oct @ 6:01am) is causing the game not to start anymore. A minimised window appears and remains stuck forever.

From the Launch.log file, it seems there are discrepancies in some files, for example:

[0004.54] Error: (AddNetObject) Objects Class XComGame.CHXComGameVersionTemplate and ByteProperty XComGame.XComWorldData:FOWUpdateTextureBuffer.FOWUpdateTextureBuffer have duplicate NetIndex 5932

Also, it seems these errors cause the binary itself to crash:
[0006.75] Log: Crash Detected: Dumping C:\Users\*****\Documents\My Games\XCOM2 War of the Chosen\Binaries\Win64\..\..\XComGame\Logs\XCom-*****\-CL469133-2024.10.26-19.24.39-Crash\XCom-*****\-CL469133-2024.10.26-19.24.39_Minidump.dmp

Fights with chosen in their strongholds now is very difficult especially with Warlock and Assassin(legendary ironman). Anyway it requires special team best is sniper,ranger,gunner,reaper and could be 2nd sniper or if we are dealing with hunter or assasin could be medic specialist.
ptkaczuk 21 Oct, 2024 @ 7:08pm 
I have noticed few bugs in this version.
1) Mind shield doesn't work against Warlock Scorche mind attack.
2) Sometimes camp retaliation is without enemies. Basically rescuing is everything what can be done during such mission
3) When we move unit which is temporary controlled by us (it could be domination or haywire protocol) close enough to unit with Close Combat Specialist ability, it is automatically shot.
4I have skullmined vanguard and received feedback and rupture
5)There are few other small bugs like
a) Sparks after gaining all action during overdrive are still active
b) sometimes when we maxed promotions on soldiers there are pending promotions on them and we cannot promote them of course anymore. Sometimes it is gone when we spend AP for skills but sometimes not.
ShunBrokuSatsu 26 Sep, 2024 @ 11:17am 
Anyone having issues with Sparks now where if you have one in the squad it auto breaks concealment? Have had every mission my spark is on automatically just lose concealment
Shacka_Coddle 22 Aug, 2024 @ 5:18pm 
nvm somehow magincally got it to work great mod love this beta!
Shacka_Coddle 22 Aug, 2024 @ 5:13pm 
I have all the dlcs, all the dependencies active, only have the beta highlander active, still doesnt seem to want to load in the new skills, which is sad, because I'm mainly excited about the new skills
Shacka_Coddle 22 Aug, 2024 @ 2:17pm 
Uhh, so I got all the mods and stuff, but for some inexplicable reason, the new skills dont show up. There are just blank spots where the skills should be. Any tips?
bobothegoat 18 Aug, 2024 @ 1:57am 
What was the mod I need for psionics ability screen to not be bugged out? I forgot what it told me in the popup
tiktaalik 8 Aug, 2024 @ 1:44pm 
Still several months out, it looks like...
Olof Plays 5 Aug, 2024 @ 5:26pm 
Anyone has a rough idea when 1.2 will be out? (Just wondering because I don't wanna start a new campaign with the main LWOTC mod just to see a big major update coming out a week later and corrupting my savefile or something..)
Shacka_Coddle 3 Aug, 2024 @ 4:34pm 
goshdarnit seriously?
Deathraven13 3 Aug, 2024 @ 4:06pm 
@Shacka_Coddle AFAIK in LWOTC reddit it says something like "version 1.2 will hard requiere Shen Legacy". Check the LWOTC reddit for more infos (Got a very very VERY slow internet speed so it's faster if you check it yourself).

Hope that help.
Shacka_Coddle 3 Aug, 2024 @ 4:00pm 
Wait do I seriously need shens last gift
Shacka_Coddle 2 Aug, 2024 @ 8:53pm 
Yeah, seems that some of the dependencies apparently require the current version of highlander, because when I tried to load it with beta highlander, it didnt work.
Shacka_Coddle 2 Aug, 2024 @ 8:46pm 
seems to not be working with AML

My SPARKs seem to only have 1 repair charge when the ability description says they should have 2/3/4. this bug?
guarin36 15 Jul, 2024 @ 10:30am 
i have a bug report. i have the advanced grenade launcher equipped, but im not getting the extra use of my plasma grenades, i have 2 plas and 1 frost equipped (plasma in the grenade slot) and i only have the 2 + 1 grenades in mission
cox15320 21 Jun, 2024 @ 1:21pm 
If the ablative Armor is being removed from sparks, can the increased wound recovery time be rolled back to when it was lower?
