bucelufe Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Hi all,Tried installing the Longwar Mod to my XCOM game on Steam. It says Long War installed successfully in green but when I run the game there is no Longwar mod option.Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubiousintent Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Start with the wiki article "Basic Guide to installing mods". (That link takes you to the Linux differences portion of the guide.)Also, don't use "Training Roulete". It's known to be bugged on Linux/Mac versions. If that still doesn't help, try asking in the "File Discussions" section: which is where the LW team provides support. -Dubious- Edited February 10, 2015 by dubiousintent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucelufe Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Thanks, I will have a look at that guide and see if I can work out what's going wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucelufe Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Still not working. I will post in File Discussions and see if anyone can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucelufe Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Seems I can't post in that area so I guess I will just not bother playing XCOM. If anyone can throw some light on why Long War mod it's not working then any help appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wghost81 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 You can't create new topics there using forum interface, but you can do it via site interface or you can just find an appropriate existing topic. Do you have Steam and XCOM installed to default locations? Are you sure you're running EW, not EU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucelufe Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) I have it installed to default locations and I am running EU. I will delete everything and start again and trace my steps. and see how I get on. Edited February 12, 2015 by bucelufe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucelufe Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 Ran through it all again, says it installed correctly and now XCOM splash screen appears for a few seconds then disappears with nothing else happening. Feels like I have got a bit closer but still not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubiousintent Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I have it installed to default locations and I am running EU. I will delete everything and start again and trace my steps. and see how I get on.The current version of Long War (since beta 12, IIRC) is only for "Enemy Within" (EW). You would need "Long War EU" (available near the bottom of the "files" download page on Nexus), which would also require you to install the "Downgrade to EU Patch 4". Most people have no problems with that downgrade, but it can present it's own set of problems. And we have no reports about doing so on a Linux platform. You need to decide if you really want to stick with EU or perhaps just buy the EW expansion to XCOM. -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
