But to find the crc for that particular item?

I think your idea for settings change could band-aid it too, but can you even change second wave options mid-game? I wonder...

Too bad we can't just directly modify the values for Marathon Mode, and change that one particular requirement (1 orb instead of 2).

[dreadylein]

if i remeber correct the marathon setting is fetch on the fly and should work midgame

to your other question, you missunderstood me
You need to find
where the item is locatet in the save
where the crc is located

didnt looked at the saves yet, but it pretty much ever time comes down to that

@Dread

Your change is confirmed to work. It's heavy handed but really the only way we can fix it unless you know where to edit the file to get x2 hyperbeacon. I didn't see a single file with it anywhere.

The fix doesn´t work for me

Great stuff Arietatray! That's why I love the nexus community, everyone putting their heads together!

@arietatray yay

Edit: Settings for this are in the Upks, think i saw it in xcomstrategygame , was something like ressource * marathonvar = needed ressources

I'm going crazy on this s*** game. (i love it, i'm just angry. a lot)

I finished the game on normal difficulty, i downloaded EVERY damn mod on the Nexus, i tried to apply them one by one (i'm not a retard, i understood what mods do and why i can't use them simultaneusly) and not a f***ing thing is working

I still don't get those stupid Second Wave options, nor any other effects.

I even tried to mod that by myself using Resource Hacker, opening the exe, modding it.

Well, when i check that stupid exe i can clearly see command lines changes, i see "Second_wave_enabled" on f***ing 1, still no sign of anything in game.

I'm getting really, really angry. Please help me before i crush my f***ing mouse while asking myself why i still buy original videogames.
Please.

Mh this sounds confusing, did you tryed backing up your save directory and put in the provided bin file ?

[CloakedFigure]

@Armadio Did you use arietatray's savebin provided? It worked perfectly for me and I have not beat the game yet.

Has anyone tried the Blitz settings yet? I noticed a line under secondwave options called
SW_ABDUCTION_SITES=4

I'm thinking this has to do with the blitz, I'm gonna try it out and see how it works.
