Creuh Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Calm down :o In fact I managed to downgrade and later to install LW. Everything works. But I had problems for like 4 hours trying to make it work in the first place, and this is the reason why I asked a simple question. And finally, I wanted to erase my question on the forum but didn't succeded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtfisnottakenthen Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) Got the same problem as Liolande. Followed precicely every single step, at least 10 times over - of course always starting from a 'clean' patched installation, given that steam cache verification is reliable. 6 Hours wasted :sad: I guess I need a complete re-install as well for some weird reason. Yey. Maybe some bit got lost when I copied it back over from my ext3 partition ... or something ... Start xcom, nothing happens, except that there is a process in the background. No mods where installed after the downgrade. I don't really get why there is so little support from steam for things like that. They have the infrastructure to be able to offer you a simple drop down where you could choose your version. Would be too convinient and modder-friendly I guess .... Funny thing is... I got EW 2 days ago. At the same time I heard about LW and now I am more eager to play LW vanilla than EW ....

Jarzy Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) When I finally had time to play my patch 4 game I found out weapons have 1 shot...I think I'm gonna explode :/ Edited December 11, 2013 by Jarzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmortalD42 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Query for those of you using LW & ToolBoks; Has anyone experienced a freeze/crash during 'alien activity' phase? I got the downgrade working, started a new game using LW 2.12 and TB 1.5.2, yet couldn't go more than a few rounds before the Alien's phase completely locked up the game.

johnnylump Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) @ Immortal What you describe is what tends to happen when playing LW on Patch 5 and 6, so it's possible the downgrade didn't take. When I finally had time to play my patch 4 game I found out weapons have 1 shot...I think I'm gonna explode :/ That's what happens when X-Com phones home and overwrites certain DefaultGameCore.ini settings.

Jarzy Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Fixed the lil' bastard. LW should work as intended :> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That thought had dawned on me while re-reading the instructions (make sure I didn't skip a step). Clean install #2, here we go...

wtfisnottakenthen Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 After re-downloading everything I still had the same problem ( would not start, no error messages, no nothing except a running process ). I then re-installed direct x just for the lulz. Now it works .... gotta luv windoze ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
