WotC:
I don't own the DLC myself, but here is some useful info from other players:
@Dingo:
Can also confirm this works fine with WotC. The only minor "incompatibility" is that the mod is flagged with a warning in the mod launcher.
@MysticalPotato:
Try a fresh install (unsubscribe to the mod first) and open up mygames/xcom2 (and the WoTC folder too) find engine.ini and delete all instances of "modclassoverrides", locate the workshop folder in your steam installation, "\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\616359783" delete the folder (the one ending in 783) then resubscribe to this mod. It worked for me

NOTE: mods do not disable achievements in XCOM2.

DISCLAIMER: I can't guarantee any of my mods are 100% bugs free, so use them at your own risk. I do play with all of them and I will release fixes or at least workarounds if bugs/problems are discovered.

What's analog mode?

This mod causes extreme stutters in the world map screen for me.
Devil Dog 19 Jun @ 1:59pm 
This is my 4th install in about 5 yrs with the same mods, just don't remember this mod resetting the camera to default every time I start the game.

@Devil Dog
I've found if I have other mods that edit key bindings active then my key bindings I make in game don't stick between sessions. Is that what you mean?

I start the game with the -regenerateinis argument, configure key bindings, exit and remove the argument. That seems to work until next time I need to clear my user config files.

If you leave it active then no mods will ever work.

Every game it resets. Is there a way to make it permanent?

@Sauron Baggins
Yup. Just got it twice in separate missions. Randomly when someone is casting granade

I recall sometimes it would cause a kind of 'white out' screen. Does it still happen?
Soul 24 Feb @ 6:18pm 
It work,the rotation is always by default the base one so you need to do ctrl+F2 everytime,dunno if I can change that,gonna check some more

For note 7 feb. 2024: Works OK (alt+mouse) for free rotation
Q+E still is 45° turns
Fresh install of the game, with very little QoL mods installed

I also use [WoTC] Better Tactical Zoom out
it works fine with it.
