Another full override/haywire protocol(?) bug and 'Deep Cover' bug

[zljchris]

Hi there,

1) LW2 v.1.4
2) Windows 10
3) Perfect Info; Preview line of sight; Loot indicator; Black market usage; Kill counter; Gotcha again; Quick end turn; Yet another F1; Evac All; Mod config menu (I don' think any of these matters though)

4) In the mission, my specialist hacked the tower for the reward of 'Deception' (?), which gave me control of a random enemy (by Mind Control). Next turn, my specialist used full override on an advent MEC, and this resulted in a control of MEC (by Hacking) and another control of a random enemy (by Mind Control). So it seems the tower hacking reward was granted again when you succeeded the full override. I'm not sure if using haywire protocol would result in the same thing. You might want to try it if you have time. This bug made my mission almost flawless so I'm not complaining. lul . But it is gamebreaking and definetely need to be fixed.

In addition, the AWC perk, Deep Cover, I got for my sharpshooter, Tim Freeman, conflicted with the stock. In the save file, you can see every time he uses the stock to end the turn, 'Deep cover' triggers and makes him hunker. In the next turn, the +20% aim/crit from stock was cancelled because of hunkering. The only way he could get the benefit of using stock is that he kill something with Death from above, and then use the 1 AP left to stock. This seems pretty stupid to me, so it would be great if you guys can fix it in the next patch. During the meantime, is there a quick way that I can remove the perk for now using something like console command or save file editing? Greatly appreciate it if you can help.

The tower/override bug is a bug from vanilla. Any tower reward you get (not just deception) is re-granted when you use haywire or Full Override.

This bug has been around forever, so I'm betting it's tough to fix. If I recall correctly, at one point it could even re-proc the mass stun effect of hacking the network tower.

Hey nmkaplan,
Thanks for your answer. Any idea how to remove the AWC perk?

The file you want is Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/268500/844674609/config/XComLW_AWCpack.ini . Open in Notepadd++, and add a semicolon ( ; ) to the beginning of lines 124 and 155

I've checked in a fix for the deep cover/steady weapon bug for 1.5. This was actually supposed to have been fixed before, but the fix itself had a bug. I tested it with your save and it works now. Thanks!
