Do you like Poker or Chess more?

OMG, do not get Matt started on that topic, you could be here for weeks!

An interesting conversation re: opening strategy.

Guys! I disabled all my mods, started a pure LW2 campaign, only with some cosmetic mods, witch were all listed as working in this thread: http://www.pavonisinteractive.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=25909 But my Smash and Grab mission is still bugged. Any ideas? Did you delete your \My Documen...

Hello everyone. Yes, I'm new here and really just registered to ask this question: Does anyone know if there's gonna be a big compatibility issue with those 1.2 mods being used with version 1.3? Maybe it would be possible to get a compiled list of any mods beta testers used with no problem (once al...

If you are using Perfect Information it is buggy, and often inaccurate. It has not been updated for Long War 2.

It's my go to for dealing with a sectoid commander's "mass reanimation from off screen" tactic. It is like a crazy OP Flashbang at range. I know that it's not everyone's (anyone's?) cup of tea, but I've had a few campaigns where it has come in handy. I wouldn't say that it is my go to, but...

I agree that the "Cheat Removal" pop up is odd, but it was added to the Developer's Console by Firaxis so they probably had a reason for it. In a very general sense, most issues that are not caused by a straight up mod conflict, or bug in a mod itself, are resolved with a save, exit, and r...

The Brown entries are the PG projects.

Just tried using the RemoveFortressDoom console command, with my doom meter one square from the end, and the game suddenly showed the meter maxed out, then moved it back to where it had been before, and showed the message "Cheat Removal" up on the screen. Is this the intended behavior?? T...

Now my next question is: if I just leave the config files alone, do I risk anything? What's the reason for doing that anyway?

It's ok to leave them like that.

Thanks for the tips! Unsub and re-sub did not work for me...the odd detail is that all mods were working during the first mission, but not during the seconfìd and the third :? I'll try the additional suggestions reported on the links you kindly provided....just to be sure it's not related with 1.3:...

Andala wrote:Yeah, the reinforcement alert. Though, it is dependent on the turn timer i.e. if you have many turns you won't get any enemy reinforcements either.

That is not quite true. You will get them now whether you are revealed or not.

She is napping. It's been a very long day.

I noticed a strange behaviour of mods under 1.3....just played a couple of missions and during the first one all the mods seemed to work fine; during the second (smash & grab) some mods stopped working - for instance: perfect information, additional icons, gotcha,... Any ideas? I was thinking a...

After updating to 1.3 I can't start new game: after first cut-scene and loading screen my entire screen goes black and can't even alt-f4 or alt-tab out. I tried regenerating ini files, disabling all mods, verifying the game but nothing seems to be working. I'd try these steps in this order: 1. Rebo...

Yes, but with the missions off. So I get the Sparks after the advent robotics project. one day, y'all are gonna block me for all my follow up questions... so, i just started a new game with both shen's last gift and hunters whatever but uninstalled. does this mean i won't be able to have Sparks aft...

Best practices are at the top of my long war 201 post.

No need. Just go to steam and uncheck any DLC and click the play button (or launch via the AML).

Thanks Nick, the salt comes with the territory apparently.

The button only controls the mission content. If you want to disable it altogether, you need to uninstall. I should probably warn you that the rulers are gonna just randomly show up later on. Yikes! Uninstall the whole game and then, what? disable the DLC for it before re-installing it? If they're ...

All I can suggest is that you go back and follow the instructions from my post exactly as they are written without skipping a step. If that doesn't work I would suggest verifying your local files through Steam and then unsub/resub to LW2.

For anyone who is concerned about the viability of stealth in 1.3, let me reassure you that stealth missions are alive and well. They are definitely not the same missions from before, but they are still very doable in low-alert regions. Be aware that you may find yourself in a real bind if you don't...
