Long War (Mac) Freezes at Home Screen

[dizbiz]

Hello,

 

I am trying to install long war and have tried a ton of suggestions I have found elsewhere with no luck. Every time I start long war, it freezes at the "Loading User Settings" screen (sometimes the popup is there, other times not). Here is the process I have used for the install:

 

Install EW (have reinstalled 3 times already)

Open up ew to home screen (sometimes open up games just to make sure it phones home)

close EW and download long war

Install long war and then run the phone home block

Open back up EW and it freezes

 

Things I have tried:

 

offline and online steam mode

turned off and on steam save syncing

windowed and full screen modes

reinstalling game and long war

phone home blocked and unblocked (when unblocked, it still freezes, but at start of first mission)

 

 

I am kind of at a loss at this point because I haven't found any other suggestions anywhere. If you have any other ideas for me, I would love some help. My friend did this exact install and it worked, so not sure why it isn't working for me. Thanks in advance for any help.

 

David

Please check for known, and report new, Long War bugs in the appropriate "Feedback" thread in the "XCOM Files Discussion" section, which is where the team supports it (including Mac versions). Note the information they need is found in their documentation included in the LW download.

 

You may also find the "Troubleshooting Basics" wiki article of some help (though it is focused on Windows).

 

You don't indicate if you are using the Mac installer for LW. A link to it can be found at the bottom of this section of the "Basic Guide to installing mods" wiki article (linked in the Troubleshooting "Required Reading" list).
