Long War mod discussion

[johnnylump]

We really need to know what version, diffficulty and second wave options you are playing with.

[Glavkomat]

My second wave options: damage roulette, new economy, world diversity, high stakes, itchy trigger tentacle, red fog, absolutely critical, liberators, results driven, aiming angles

 

The version I'm using the Beta 9a.

 

Should I just install the Beta 10 and start a new campaign?

[Sylaer]

I am doing a playthrough on Normal Ironman (with only Hidden Potential as Second Wind option) and the first covert mission is coming up in less then one day, but when i hit the scan for activity button the game freezes for a second and crashes to desktop. I tried again but it still crashes at exactly the same time. There is also a request expiring the same day. I am posting the ending part of the launch.log file.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I am using Beta 10 version.

I am also experiencing crashes when the first covert mission is coming up, but I don't have have any other requests expiring on the same day.

I am playing on classic / ironman mode with both strict screening and hidden potential as Second Wave options. (Using beta 10 version)

[johnnylump]

hey guys, thanks for your feedback -- we know. we address all this over the in mod's beta subforum, accessible through the mod page interface, forums tab.

 

@ Glavkomat -- I don't recognize that bug, and yeah, we're really only able to support the latest Beta (which has a host of problems we're working on). You might try all the troubleshooting steps in the mod description.

[Samakain]

Hi Guys.

Loving the work on this mod, thanks a bunch for throwing life back into the game and sucking hours of my life away in a quite enjoyable way .

However I've kicked up a problem I've been trying to solve all day and I can't quite seem to get my head around it. Damaged firestorms seem to hang at 0hrs repair time and never return to active service.
Anybody know a fix? or encountered the same problem?

Really appreciate the help.

[Cippalippus]

Hello, and awesome job with the mod!

Just here to add the report that when the first covert mission is about to complete, the game crashes.

I see that other guys reported it, too; I didn't pick any second wave option, and I'm playing Long War EW.

[johnnylump]

Please use the forums accessible via the forum tab on the mod page so all devs will see your posts.

 

We don't monitor this thread closely.

[SteelRook]

Putting this here so it doesn't clutter actual official threads. Stupid question, but:

 

Is it possible to keep only the XCOM weapons, armour, class and so on aspects of Long War without changing the aliens side of it? The more I mess with Long War, the more I realise I LOVE the added variety and complexity on the player-side. However, I'm a terrible player and the extra difficulty from the larger alien spawns and much more difficult aerial combat is crushing me into the ground. I call this a "stupid question" mostly because I highly doubt this is possible in any practical sense, but it doesn't hurt to ask, I hope.

 

I'll say it again, though - Long War is a massive, impressive effort amounting to essentially a brand new game sharing art assets with XCOM. That is definitely commendable.

[johnnylump]

I'm afraid we really don't have the resources to modularize the mod or maintain multiple versions with different feature sets.

 

I'd just recommend playing normal - not-so-long-war - cinematic mode, and editing DGC.ini to your tastes.
