dubiousintent Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 The LW installer is still not finding XComEW.EXE in the [ C:\Games\steamapps\common\XCom-Enemy-Unknown\XEW\Binaries\Win32\ ] path. Are you sure you have EW installed? That is usually the only reason it can't find that file unless you installed XCOM to yet a different path. (Assuming that you have successfully run vanilla EW at least twice to the main menu? If so, might be a good idea to try the tutorial again just to be sure vanilla is working correctly before attempting to install LW.) Earlier you were talking about trying to run LW under EU. As I said then, in that case you have to use LW beta 12, which did not have it's own installer IIRC. I apologize that I failed to mention that in that instance (LW under EU), you have to install the "Downgrade EU to patch 4 Changelist 356266" mod first. Going with EW is simply easier if you want to play LW. -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptTom Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 Finally got XCOM Enemy Within to work but Long War Mod causes to system to freeze up. Try the steps in the help manual, does not work and I cant find a Logs file to upload for tech questions. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks in advance.

dubiousintent Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Finally got XCOM Enemy Within to work but Long War Mod causes to system to freeze up. Try the steps in the help manual, does not work and I cant find a Logs file to upload for tech questions. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks in advance.The log file is in the folder where you unpacked the LW installer archive and from which you ran it to install LW. Just confirming: you did read that LW expects to CTD/Freeze the first time it is run? In that case, simply try again. Now that you have EW installed and functioning, it's time to take it to the LW developers. Here is my standard boilerplate for LW specific problems: Long War bug reports should be posted in the appropriate Beta Feedback thread in the "Long War" download page "forum section" for a quick response. (The LW Team has stated they don't check the main forum at all anymore for problems. Really, the dev team is the most likely to be able to help with a LW issue but anyone else who can also will be there.) You may also find that the answer is already known and posted in that section. Be sure to read the "Readme" and "Detailed Troubleshooting" documents included with the LW download before reporting bugs. They need all the information requested there (including which platform) to be able to help. If they can't reproduce the problem, they can't fix it. You increase your odds of getting help by re-reading included documentation and following instructions on reporting bugs, and then documenting what you have already tried ... in detail. Short "it's broke" reports simply generate requests for more detail; wasting time. Better too much detail than not enough. While the LW installer handles any code modifications for you, it is still necessary to prepare your system for mods as laid out in the wiki article "Basic Guide to installing mods". The "Environment" section in particular still applies to LW, and the "OS/X mod installation" section has specifics for Mac versions. There is also a "Linux Differences" section. The first recommended fix is always to upgrade to the latest version (currently Beta 15F3). Be sure to check the release notes for the effect upon a saved game. -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
