Sure. 1. Download the Linux installer (it's a .zip file) 2. Unzip it 3. The three files you want are in LW-EW-Linux/install-files/: localization/int/xcomstrategygame.intcookedpcconsole/xcomgame.upkcookedpcconsole/xcomstrategygame.upk4. Copy the upks to XCOMData/XEW/XcomGame/CookedPCConsole 5. Copy the .int file to XCOMData/XEW/Localization/INT 6. Also copy it the .int to "XCOM Enemy Unknown.app/Contents/Resources/MacOverrides" I don't think you need to wipe out your Feral Interactive directory after this (if you do see above). I can confirm that copying the upks and .int files does in fact correct the engineering buy/build bug. And can confirm that you don't need to wipe out the Feral Interactive directory contents either. Thanks!

Is there a way to simply get the .upk files from the linux distro and replace the ones currently in the OSX directories? Would that be the bug fix we're looking for? As it is, I can't really build anything, which puts the arc thrower out of reach....

New bug: Trying to produce ANYTHING from engineering causes a CTD now. Any one experienced the same? End of April, if that matters, right after "friends in low places" mission.

That's been answered many times in this topic. :wink: Wait for patched upks to be released. Yeah, I saw it mentioned a bunch of times. Just reporting in that all is well. Oddly, when launching from steam, if I check "pause itunes when Xcom EW launches" it CTD, but it will run in windowed mode. That's something I hadn't experienced before the LW mod.

Glad to say that after following thither's directions, I've got LW up and running. I did most of the copy/pasting in a pair of finder windows (as the GUI is easier than dealing with terminal when so many directories are involved.) The only thing I've found that attempting to manufacture sawed off shotties will crash the game. No idea why.

Can the full file paths for step 2, step 3, step 4, step 6 be put in there? I think this is where I'm screwing things up (that I've got so many different file paths and I'm copying/replacing things in the wrong place. Thanks.

To get to MacOverrides, you have to go into the application bundle. From the finder, you can right click on the executable ("XCOM Enemy Unknown" or "XCOM Enemy Unknown.app" at the root level of your XCom directory under SteamApps/common) and hit "show package contents". It's just a regular directory, you don't need to recompile anything after you update the files. Doh. Got that. Only problem now I have is after moving all the files (and not patching the executable) I get a CTD. Can not figure out why. Spent 3 days on this. I guess I'll just wait for the install script, because I either get the LW button with vanilla options or a CTD. Neither one is working. I guess I'll reinstall vanilla, redownload and unpack the LW program and go from there.

How are you guys getting to the .app/macoverrides directory? I've got no such directory. Do I need to break open the .app file? If so, how do I go about that and then recompile it? I've got long war button on the bottom of the opening screen, but all options are for vanilla EW.
