How to fix conflict with Perfect Information
The latest features added to Gotcha Again requires a class override that is also used by Perfect Information, so this causes a conflict. I have spoken to tjnome about this and we agreed to implement mutual compatibility in our mods. Gotcha Again already implements this, but until the next version of Perfect Information is released it requires a manual fix to resolve the conflict. Depending on the order the mods are loaded for you, this might not be needed.

To fix the conflict, you need to remove the ModOverride from Perfect Information so only the one from Gotcha Again is used. Since I have implemented compatibility with Perfect Information, it will still work exactly as it used to!
To remove the override, you need to edit XComEngine.ini in the Perfect Information Config directory. If Steam is installed at the default location, this will be located in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\625737801\Config".
Disable the following override:
+ModClassOverrides=(BaseGameClass="XComPathingPawn", ModClass="XCom_Perfect_Information_XComUnitPawnNativeBase")

This is done by putting a ";" in front of the line so it looks like this:
;+ModClassOverrides=(BaseGameClass="XComPathingPawn", ModClass="XCom_Perfect_Information_XComUnitPawnNativeBase")

Thanks for the info, @Soldier9!

I want to add that for those who want to edit that .ini, if you use this alternative mod launcher you'll be able to edit all the .ini files of each mod whitin the mod launcher itself, without browsing directories in Windows.

I'm not involved in any way with the development of that launcher, I just wanted to share a quicker way to edit .ini files for those who still don't know about it. :)


EDIT: the launcher may still show a conflict between the two mods until you'll restart the launcher.

You say it might not cause a conflict if we use the alt mod manager.. What kind of conflict are we talking about?? And which mod wants to load first??

Gotcha Again removes the conflicting class override from Perfect Information and replaces it with its own that also implements the stuff needed by Perfect Information, so having that load last should hopefully not cause any issues.
Once Perfect Information is updated it will do the same which should remove the need for any fiddling, but until then the sure way of making sure nothing conflicts is manually removing the override from Perfect Information like described in the OP.
