Refreshing ini files - The "Turning it off and on again" of XCOM modding
XCOM2 has a bug where disabling, updating and switching mods will sometimes (=often) leave parts of old code active. This will lead to conflicts between old and new code and can lead to everything from minor inconsistencies to freezes and crashes.
This is not tied to any specific mod, it's a general problem with mods.

Here's a step by step on how to force XCOM2 to refresh all code in the ini files to be up to date:

Step 1: Open the folder ... Documents\My Games\XCOM2 War of the Chosen\XComGame\Config
Step 2: Delete everything in it.
Step 3: Start the game. You will need to check all your mods again in the launcher.

While starting, XCOM2 will rebuild the ini files that you just deleted and while doing that it will refresh everything to use up-to-date code.


Doing this every time you change your modlist should be considered mandatory, it fixes ~80% of all problems related to mods.
