Cannot get new classes
I've tried several times to create a new game and do the first mission, each time my team was promoted into vanilla classes, with only two columns of perks to choose from. I've tried to use this mod alone, without any other mod activated, so it's not a conflict. I don't have the DLC nor the LW toolbox.
Is it normal? Am I supposed to get vanilla classes in the first missions and from time to time, instead of only LW classes?
I've also tried to activate the console and use the MakeSoldierAClass command on recruits, on a save just after the first mission. While I can correctly promote them into any vanilla class, trying to promote them in a Long War class results in a promotion to a random class, suggesting that the LW class are not recognised (I've tried both names like "LW_Shinobi" and "Shinobi").
There was a XCOM update recently, could the mod be outdated??

I've got the exact same problem, just started a new game and all my soldiers just get promoted to the vanilla classes with only two rows of skills to choose from. On a side note; I've only got Long War mods installed but have noticed that the SMG's are also missing from my available equipment

You're on Linux? Or Mac maybe?
What I've discovered is that it's not specific to this mod: the Feral version of XCOM2 is just unable to deal with any mod (or at least strongly dependent on the filesystem structure of the host).
Feral is working on that but we should contact their support to see whether they know a temporary workaround.

I'm having the same problem. I am on Windows btw if that changes anything.

Solutions I have tried:

- Deleting config folder to clear old mod data.
- Verifying game cache
- Re-installing game
- Using alternative mod launcher
- Disabling all other mods I have and using only the Perk Pack (I only have cosmetic mods so there shouldn't be a conflict any how?)

I am not sure what is causing it but my soldiers are just always promoted to the vanilla classes, I have tried promoting from the armoury too with no success.

Any suggestions?

I had this issue consistently, tried running on just long war, deleted config files, etc. What finally made this work for me was simply by reinstalling Xcom 2.
