Re: PCS Dissapearing

I've gotten it again, but oddly enough I've noticed that it seems to happen immediately after a save. So, Save>Give PCS>Save Again>Load>PCS now gone. I'm not sure if my earlier observations were mistaken or what but returning from a mission or aborting will do nothing (i.e. not trigger the glitch) u...

Re: Aliens getting free shots

@Inemuri: I have to disagree that Poker is a better analogy to Xcom than chess. [...] There is no way to bluff in Xcom. I didn't intend to say as a complete analogy for XCOM, poker is superior to chess . The reason I brought up poker as an analogy was to emphasise that XCOM isn't purely a stragetic...

Dark Event completing during infiltration to stop it.

LW2 1.1 PC Cosmectic, QOL and Map mods. Other than that using True Concealment for LW2, LW2 Tac Suppressors, Avenger Events LW2 Pack, and GnaRs LW2 Tactical Submod. While infiltrating the mission to stop a Dark Event, sometimes the DE is completed while the Avenger is moving to start the mission (af...

Re: New and Improved Dark Events Thread

Well, if the devs are set on this being the de facto state of affairs then I guess there's really just a question that naturally flows from this discussion: is there an .ini tweak I can make to change this? :)

Re: New and Improved Dark Events Thread

They mentioned that they originally tried this already (making dark events only in contacted regions), but their testers were able to counter every event that would pop up which ironically made the game too easy near the end. Not to mention it would discourage the player's from expanding since expa...

Re: New and Improved Dark Events Thread

Alternatively to allowing permanent Dark Event completions (the real bad ones at least) to be reversible, perhaps make it so that dark events only show up in regions where the actual Resistance (i.e. the player) is operating? Why would Advent need better HP or weapons in a region where the resistanc...

What does "Overall reinforcement speed modifier by diffiuclty" .ini tweak do?

As the tittle says, does anyone know what lines 986-989 in the XComLW_Overhaul.ini actually do? I ask because I've been testing it and I can't really figure it out. By default the lower difficulties have negative numbers, so I assumed this meant that negative numbers make the reinforcements take lon...

Re: Shens Last Gift doesnt appear

For those of you having problems getting SLG or the Alien Hunters missions (weapons and Nest) I believe that you need to get an intel package as a mission reward for those to even appear (in addition to meeting whatever requirement LW2 has imposed on them so they can be eligible to appear). So, if y...

Re: Aliens getting free shots

@Inemuri: I have to disagree that Poker is a better analogy to Xcom than chess. It's true that chess has no random element and poker does, but in poker there is no feasible way to improve your hand. All you can do, in poker (Texas Hold 'Em, at least), if you have a crappy hand is fold (the Xcom equi...

Re: New and Improved Dark Events Thread

At one point I had three separate dark events I never had a chance to stop all giving Advent HP permanently and it felt like my weapon tech had basically been pushed back a level. Now, my laser weapons are doing basically the same percentage of damage that my default weapons were doing, and my defau...

Re: Alien Nest mission (from Alien Hunters dlc) not appearing

Oh, I see. Always wondered what that was. Just kind of assumed it was literally what it said on the tin: just a small amount of intel. Do you also need an Intel package to make the Alien Hunter weapons POI appear? Since those don't seem to be appearing either (in a new campaign) even after scanning ...

Re: Alien Nest mission (from Alien Hunters dlc) not appearing

Other than Shen's Last Gift, no other POIs seem to appear either, like free rookies or such. I've started several campaigns and scanned forward several months and still find no POIs of any kind, even with only just this mod active and a fresh config file, as well as verifying the game integrity.

Re: PCS Dissapearing

Yes, I noticed it again in 1.1. Its definitively not fixed yet but unfortunately I had already saved over it plenty of times by the time I realized. If I notice it again I'll see if I can upload the save.

Re: Alien Nest mission (from Alien Hunters dlc) not appearing

Is there any way to know what the global advent force level is, at any given moment? Update: So, about 35 missions in, I began to scan and just ignore all missions for about a month and change. I lost the campaign and still no sign of the POI for Alien Nest. Additionally, Dark Events completed by Ad...

Re: Alien Nest mission (from Alien Hunters dlc) not appearing

Really? I've read some of the changelog, but I must have missed that. That's a big relief, if that is, in fact, what's affecting it. I assume global force level is the combined advent strength in all the regions you control, but that's a bit of a guess. Mine is currently at a total of 11, counting r...

Alien Nest mission (from Alien Hunters dlc) not appearing

I wasn't really sure where to post this, but its as the tittle says. Seems like the Alien Hunters dlc mission to start the process of the Rulers appearing refuses to pop up. Now, I realize that is, in fact, a vanilla glitch, but I wonder if you guys could look into how/why this happens? Its funny, c...

@Amineri: That's exactly what I did and I consistently triggered the bug over and over again. The only difference I can see is that my infiltration was already in progress and already very close to finishing in the save that I used to repeat and test the bug. So basically I started at step 2.

Interesting. I'll try your workaround.
