just wanted to give you guys a heads up, you dont have to have the modpatcher.exe the patcher.bat , the defaultGameCore.mod, Xcom Meddler.exe in any specific folder. I keep these 4 files on my desktop in a folder called "meddler" just open the meddler.exe, load the defaultGameCore.mod make changes you see fit, save. run Modpatcher.exe most of the changes do not require a new game though some do.

Easy way to see if it worked is to change the amt of dmg a grenade does, or the amt of hp the sectiods have. The grenade you can just throw at your own team and see the damage.

So gone through those exact steps maybe 30 times by now, tried various other ways to go about it and yet everytime I have used the modpatcher, my game simply wont start, I tried redownloading the modpatcher, still nothing.
The game just gives me an error and crashes on start up, even if I didn't change anything.

If I then reset my game through verifying cache through steam it works again, any idea why it's causing my game to start crashing?

In some situations, you need to delete XComGame.originalexe. An earlier post on this thread has more details. Another thing to try is use modpatcher with the vanilla DefaultGameCore.ini. Finally, you could try applying some other mod that uses ModPatcher and see if that works.

Thanks, I will try those two things. EDIT: Nope neither worked. EDIT2: Attempting a full reinstall of the game, see how that turns out.

To run modded games with Steam, you have to put Steam in 'offline' mode. This is described in an earlier post in this thread (and elsewhere).

So no ones found a way to get this working while Steam is online?
