Hmm ok, it is definitely overriding the changes when I start up. Strange no one else is having this issue. I can't figure out how to disable it. I tried starting in offline mode and disable auto update. I guess I will have to sit tight and wait.

never heard that before sorry :/ i will try some fancy things but dont get your hopes to high as i cant realy replicate this steam behavior :/

I think I'm having similar issue (Steam installs for a few sec after patching in mod). Followed all the instructions and it just doesn't seem to work (no 2nd wave, etc etc). I tried running the patcher in admin mode and no dice. I could post the log file if need be.

Yea it's -1 for classic and -2 for impossible but if you hire new soldiers they get the base health of normal which is 5 because of a bug.

its 3am for me atm so i cant check this now, but i think i found the way way to fix that:
1)modify general soldier values in the exe with the editor (default is 5hp, so change to 3 for impossible, 4 for classic). with this change, all new recruits from barracks should start with 4(5) hp instead of 6.
2)start game on easy(or normal if you are planning to play on classic) so all the starting recruits get the bonus health from difficulty level, which will be removed by adjusted setting in exe.
3)ramp up your difficulty to classic/impossible, this shouldnt change existing soldiers hp.
4)profit.

i am unsure if starting the game on easy and then changing the difficulty will screw up all the passive bonuses, like income,starting panic levels, etc. if it all stays on easy then its not a real "impossible" anymore.
if it does then i guess we have to wait for official patch.

or just reduce global value and try to complete first mission on impossible with 2hp soldiers. will be tough but you can just dismiss them right after and consider them all being KIA. or you can use as a cannon fodder for arc thrower tasks

Aha! I think I found out what caused it not to work: simply close steam while installing and voila it works please someone confirm.

[dreadylein]

lol this would be awesome, i was REALY clueless what to do

[northfield]

Haha yeah me too I just tried installing again and it works.

I'm not really sure what method you're using, but cancelling out of the "install" does nothing for me.
