Re: LW2 v1.5 is Live
A day before the launch of War of the Chosen. Now this is cruel - which one to play.
Good work team, Steam just downloaded the new patch and I will be firing up the game in a bit!

This snuck in without me noticing it. Time to turbo-train more units with the 8-man GOp squad.- MSGTS and their equivalents will now donate a third (ini-configurable) of their mission XP to the rest of the squad
Re: LW2 v1.5 is Live
Will anything in this break 1.4 saves?

Re: LW2 v1.5 is Live
It shouldn't. Might see some small differences due to Spark tree and gear changes, but nothing huge. I did read a report that the "Show Defense in Armory" mod has a nasty conflict with our own update with that functionality, so you should turn that mod off to play LW2.
Re: LW2 v1.5 is Live
I also turned off the "LW2 PsiOp Bugfix" mod - I assume NuSolace is all we'll ever see in 1.5
Just got a 6-crate Smash & Grab with a 5-man squad. This is awesome.
Edit: Hmm, after doing that Smash & Grab, the mission is still there with the same (almost expired) timer. Might be a hangover from 1.4->1.5, need to see if it reproduces.

Re: LW2 v1.5 is Live
Ahaha there is no way this an accident, forcing me to choose. Damn you Pavonis.
I understand good strategy games are all about making hard choices, but this a new level, very meta.

Re: LW2 v1.5 is Live
Good jobs to PI team. Did not realise the version go live but playing experience seem to improve while playing. Thought I am getting good, than saw this.
Re: LW2 v1.5 is Live
Congrats people.. a timely coincidence that should toss your MOD into (some or most) players' minds forever -- if it wasn't already!
Re: LW2 v1.5 is Live
Will there be a nexus version of 1.5? I edit ini a lot, nexus version make it somewhat easier.

On the last part of the golden path, wanted to finish before WOC playthrough.
You all ROCK! Appreciate all the work!

Re: LW2 v1.5 is Live
Thanks for another big update
Re: LW2 v1.5 is Live
In case WotC breaks things (even without buying the expansion), is there a way on Steam to lock your xcom2 game at the specific build? I won't be buying the xpac anyway because I feel like it's a money grab.
Re: LW2 v1.5 is Live
They removed the option to opt out from updating games on steam, so the only way I know is to go Offline in steam.hamds28 wrote:In case WotC breaks things (even without buying the expansion), is there a way on Steam to lock your xcom2 game at the specific build?

Might also work to schedule updates to happen outside times when your computer has internet access, but I think both those approaches has problems when you want to update some other game without xcom2 being touched...

Re: LW2 v1.5 is Live
Our understanding is that WotC won't break things -- there won't be a patch to the base game, regardless of whether you bought WotC or not.hamds28 wrote:In case WotC breaks things (even without buying the expansion), is there a way on Steam to lock your xcom2 game at the specific build?

Re: LW2 v1.5 is Live
It looks like the Incendiary Grenade nerf doesn't actually work like the changelog says it does. Instead of 75% burn chance for tier 1 and 85% for tier 2 we have 75% for both when thrown and 85% for both when launched. Not sure whether or not the change is intended, but I think it's better this way.

Re: LW2 v1.5 is Live
If this is true, you should post it on the bug report forums ASAP. That said, how do you know? A 10% difference is pretty subtle and seems like that would be tough to test.faket15 wrote:It looks like the Incendiary Grenade nerf doesn't actually work like the changelog says it does.

Re: LW2 v1.5 is Live
Regardless I'll probably revert the fire grenade/bomb change to my version of it.
I instead dropped the base damage of the grenade to not be the same as Plasma at a far earlier point in the game, to have the same damage spread as a rocket (2-7 instead of the 4-9).
Especially with the fact that I don't want a 75% chance of a bomb to trigger on a single tile throw (That is just BS in my opinion), but does nerf the AoE murder machine of the way too early accessible Incendiary.

Re: LW2 v1.5 is Live
Can I download it into an existing 1.4 game? I'm very close to the end of my current game and would like to see how the 1.5 changes affect the endgame.
Thanks for making LW2 such a fun mod. I've really enjoyed it!

Re: LW2 v1.5 is Live
It would be harder to not download it. It is an auto-update on Steam to get it, and it applies mid-campaign.Exquisitor wrote:Can I download it into an existing 1.4 game? I'm very close to the end of my current game and would like to see how the 1.5 changes affect the endgame.

Thank you for this awesome work!
I am starting a new campaign now.

Does anyone know how this donation works?Psieye wrote:This snuck in without me noticing it. Time to turbo-train more units with the 8-man GOp squad.- MSGTS and their equivalents will now donate a third (ini-configurable) of their mission XP to the rest of the squad
- Is 1/3 given to every other member of the team or is a total of 1/3 distributed across all other members?
- If there are other MSGTs in the team, what becomes of the xp distributed to them in this fashion? Are they being left out, do the re-distribute or what happens?
