Squad Size Regulation Issue [LWOTC]

[danymarux]

Hello there!
I´ve been exploring LWOTC for 60 hours now, and it seems that I´m facing some kind of issue.
I cannot determine the squad size on the squad selection screen (the one that you get before sending them on firebrand).
No matter how many soldiers I select to go on a mission (I can see only 6 slots) there´s always two more going on mission (the ones that are higher ranked) and usually without equipment...
I understand that squad size is limited to eight soldiers, on normal missions, and that this problem can be solved by creating fixed squads, but not all the soldiers from these squads are avaliable all the time and they need to be changed for some others.
I saw some long plays in which strimers do have the option to manage all eight troopers on the squad selection screen but never saw the kind of issue that I have in game.

If anyone have any idea on how this issue can be solved i will be graitful.

P.S.: I´m playing with mods of course and diactivating all of them or selecting only customization one´s doesn´t help.

On the squad select screen, click and drag your cursor to the left or right. Can you see the other two slots/soldiers?

Nope :(

That might be a problem with Robojumper's Squad Select, which is mandatory for LWOTC.

It might depend on how you have your controls set up. For me when I'm in the squad select screen if I scroll up or down on the mouse wheel it rotates through all 8 slots in the squad select. You can only see 6 at a time but there's always 8.

Alternatively you can go to the squad management tab in the soldier menu and create a permanent squad. Then just add specifically the soldiers you want to each squad. Then when you do a mission, you select that squad and there will only be the soldiers you manually added.

When you first start LWOTC it automatically creates a permanent squad for you for Gatecrasher and assigns 8 soldiers to it. So if you don't delete that squad, the next mission you do it will auto select that squad with all 8 people in it.

I find that for most missions in the early stages of the game, a 5 man squad is the sweet spot. It doesn't suffer the infiltration penalty from a larger squad. Until I get the first squad size infiltration upgrade I rarely take more than 5 except for smash and grab missions with good timers and final liberation missions which I bring 6 and 8 to respectively.

Hello and thank you for answering. :)

I do the managment of the squads, but due to this issue, my squad is always fulfiled with 8 soldiers, even if the squad is permanently composed by 4-5 people, or if some of them are wounded or unavaliable for other reasons. When it happens it fullfils the squad to eight men by taking them from other squads, which makes them unavaliable for futher missions and puts them at risk, as I don´t know they where coming and did not provide them proper equipment. And just as I mentioned I cannot "scroll" anything in the squad selection menu :(

Have a great day! :)

Hi and thank you for answering :)

If I unselect Robojumper's Squad Select in the AMOL the game crashes and doesn´t let the LWOTC run.

[danymarux]

Okay.
I reseted LWOTC mod completely. Tried the game: at first launch had a lot of bugs but after reactivating the mods manually through the Alternative Mod Launcher the squad selection issue seems to be solved.
Thank you every one that responded!
