Confirmed to work with WotC, for more info see below...

5. Allows to pitch camera with [] keys.
6. Fully ini configurable.

2. Ctrl + F1 - reset camera to default view.

4. Ctrl + F3 - toggle free camera.
5. [] - pitch camera.

CONFIGURATION:
1. ini files are located under your [Path To Steam Library]\XCOM 2\XComGame\Mods\FreeCameraRotation\Config or [Path To Steam Library]\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\616359783\Config.
2. Key bindings: XComInput.ini.

5. Instructions and examples on zoom settings: http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/616359783/392183857632918975/
6. Resolving weird issues with mod not working/crashing the game: http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/616359783/364041517008791228/

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.

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?

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

Works great, thanks! (No WOTC)

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.

Is it possible to use free camera by controlling the xbox s pad? Where and how to assign the ALT key?
Danzo Dec 29, 2023 @ 10:03pm 
You hold down the Q or E button and the camera doesn't turn?
Just open the file "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\616359783\Config\XComTacticalInput_FreeCameraRotation.ini" and change the value of bAnalogMode from false to true .
Just replace the path at the beginning with your own.


I spent a lot of time and nerves to understand why after switching from the GOG version of the game on Steam I suddenly stopped working mod. I read the comments where they write about changing other configuration files and changing mod files and even the file I was supposed to change, but I somehow missed this solution by my eyes.
This solution needs to be stated in huge letters in the description so you definitely don't miss it. Or maybe update the mod with this value at all.
You don't need to change anything else and especially not to add RequiresXPACK=true to the config (let me know if someone still needs it).

There's a lot of really useful information on that wiki, worth a bookmark.
