Strange Rookie Stats

Post by guypapyrus »

In my current commander campaign (Nov 35), I've had an odd occurrence of rookie stats skewing heavily towards health: as in, at least half my troops having 7 health as rookies. This means a dearth of high anything else (most painfully aim and/or mobility, though I also like high mobility high defense low aim for support grenadiers and scouts). Similar things have happened with recruits and jailbreak rookies, with very few lower health/higher other stat soldiers.

I've started maybe a dozen campaigns since to test, and every gatecrasher team (except one) has had at least half with 7 health, often five or six. I tried disabling all my mods, then un/resubscribing to LW2 (I don't know if that deletes and refreshes the files), and verifying XCOM2's files, but still producing this odd behavior.

I'm still troubleshooting, but I got to a point where my gatecrasher team had a more normal distribution (two with seven health, one with 6, one with 5, the rest 3 and 4). However, when I got to the Avenger, all but one of the remaining rookies in the barracks had 7 health (the available recruit has 7 as well).

Just posting to see if this is anything anyone has seen this and/or knows a quick fix for. (By "quick fix", I'm fine if that means reinstalling the game and all mods from scratch, though a quicker fix would be better). If there was a mod or console command that rerolled rookie stats, I'd be fine just going with that, too (I don't see anything of the sort, however).

EDIT: I'm going ahead with a fresh install, but I'd be curious to know if anyone has any idea what might have caused this.

I've only ever made a couple of ini edits: show all awc perks, and set awc retrain time to zero days.

Here's my mods in use. Uniforms Manager was the only new addition to that last campaign... though I DID have Alien Hunters installed by accident (I had done a fresh install of Windows recently and reinstalled the game) and I couldn't disable without breaking my saves. (I'm not continuing that campaign anyway, as it was kind of an experiment in doing a very late liberation):

Not sure if this belongs in Bug Reports; is that a defunct subforum now that development is done?

Well, it seems just fresh installing the game did the trick. It also seems to have resolved some Avenger undercarriage bugs that had never plagued me until this latest campaign. Though it WAS kind of nice having all those high HP soldiers. They just had trouble hitting stuff frequently enough.
