Alright thank you :)

Copying files manually, as you have already done.

Figured I'd ask, is there anything we can do on our end to fix this?

Thank you for the quick answer

This happens for some people for reasons unknown. It has to do with how the game loads script packages, not with the highlander itself, which works normally for vast majority of users.

Hey, haven't seen it mentionned anywhere so I figured I'd report it here, currently both the stable and beta versions cause a freeze/infinit load on launch. What seems to happen is the script is looking for the cooked folder in the mydocuments path instead of the mod's. I tested it on 3 fresh installs, with only the Highlander mod, etc

Copying the Highlander's CookedPCConsole folder into %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\XCOM2 War of the Chosen\XComGame lets the game load "normally"

@MrCloista
I honestly don't remember. Currently no plans for that, but it's not out of the question either.

@Iridar what is the visualisation issue for Incinerators with Spark Arsenal? And is there any plans to integrate the fix either into spark arsenal itself or into the highlander?

@munn0726
There's no harm in still using Weapon Fixes alongside BETA Highlander if you still need Weapon Fixes for something. In case of SPARK Arsenal, Weapon Fixes is required to fix visualization for Incinerators, so you should keep it.

@Iridar

Thank you. If I unsubscribe from weapons fixes, will your Spark Arsenal 3.2 still work? I just saw a big warning, lol. Thanks again!

Unfortunately there's no centralized resource for that.

Random question. I was unable to find anything specific( maybe a failure on my part), but is there a resource where I can find the mods I no longer need if I am using the Highlander/beta?

@Unkown Rose
There are no fixes in this update that will help you resolve that issue.

hope so as i can not use the akimbo for some reason

@everyone
Update to v1.28.0 was published. This release brings mostly bugfixes, particularly, it integrates many bugfixes from the MrNice's Weapon Fixes mod.

@everyone
Update to 1.27.1 was published. This release is nearly identical to 1.27.0, we've just reverted one of the smaller bugfixes, as that caused another bug.

@Yooppi
It does not change the parameters themselves, but it does fix the underlying code so that REACTION_DASHING_FINALMOD actually gets used.

Does Community Highlander changes this parameters? (REACTION_FINALMOD=0.7f
REACTION_DASHING_FINALMOD=0.6f)

just finished the campaign in about 80 missions with 100 mods on 1.27 beta, no major issues

im trying to get the mods to work but keep crashing when i try to play a misssion

Like @Etienne, bDontUnequipWhenWounded=true doesn't work for me.

Confirming that the logging messages no longer appear. Thank you, Iridar!

@Andrei Cineva
Thanks for letting me know!

False alarm. It seems to be a bug with a recent Yellow Alert 2.0 update.
Sorry about that!

OK, thanks. Will keep you posted on what happens with the Stable version, when I get into another similar situation.

@Andrei Cineva
You don't need to disable the Disable Aim Assist mod, it will just not do anything without the beta Highlander.

https://pastebin.com/vBqnWEwJ

I posted a portion of the log where the problem happened on one of the occasions. I exited to the menu once I saw the turn was skipped and the alien turn began.

I can certainly try that, yes, after disabling the Disable Aim Assist mod. Might take a while before I get to another mission involving civvies though. It's a new save so I will keep it, of course.

@Andrei Cineva
You can upload your Launch.log to pastebin.com
..\Documents\My Games\XCOM2 War of the Chosen\XComGame\Logs\Launch.log

But this will probably not help.

Make sure you keep the save where the issue happens. Do you think you can test the same save with the current Stable Highlander?

First time I encountered this weird bug: once I stumble onto civvies and they run away, regardless if I'm concealed or not, my turns are just skipped completely. I can't do anything.
I only added the two Beta Highlanders today to support Disable Aim Assist.
And this happened like 4 times in the same mission, every time it got triggered after I stumbled onto civvies and ran off.
How can I submit to you a portion of the log where the bug occurred? If that helps.

This question simply haunts me. Can anyone help me?

I play WotC (not LWotC) with 413 mods installed, including both the latest Community Highlander mods. In the Community Highlander XComGame.ini configuration file, the value is set to bDontUnequipWhenWounded=true. However, after being wounded, my operatives continue to remove their equipment. By running the game exclusively with Community Highlander without other mods, I found out that the function works fine, so the problem is in one of the mods. Does anyone have any information on mod\mods that might interfere with this feature of Community Highlander?

@walt.bustamante you're the hero, you saved my campaign, I finished without any crash!

@horsepowerYT
What are you talking about?

So that's why my current campaign is crashing, I was confused when I saw a new beta around when the other one I was using was just fine. Now I know that it isn't.

And this has been in development for a long time, why is now that the one EVERYBODY uses, no longer works?

@everyone
Update to 1.27.0 was published. This release mostly features bugfixes, particularly the infamous "huge lag spike when moving units" should be significantly reduced now.

@walt.bustamante
Thanks you, this helps a lot, we'll see if we can reproduce it.

SUP! Got an update on the templar bug i mentioned before, learned how to trigger it and avoid it completely, was part luck and part trial and error (Tested every plasma upgrade one at at a time).

Crash happens with a Templar on squad after reaching Plasma tier weapons and ONLY AFTER UNLOCKING THE ABILITY CHANNEL(the one that drops focus on kill) and will happen randomly during the mission.

Grapples, Whiplash and several Status Procs from any unit will cause the game to crash randomly(Acid, Elerium, Poison, AP rounds so far and most of the time when a unit is killed). Kept playing without channel ability and can play for hours with no crashes, Tested with a back up save and only upgraded my templar before going inside mission, thats how i tracked it down.

Cleared a campaign with no highlander and channel active and no crashes so it only happens after installing it.

Thats it so hope it helps.

for some reason it broke and i can't play it again is it a mod thing or something else idk.

Most notable features:

These two mods are now integrated into the BETA Highlander:

@BlackCoat13
Alright, thanks for your report, we'll look into it.

Bullpup. It's a basegame gun, not a mod thing. Basegame Skirmisher weapon. My bad.

@BlackCoat13
SMG or Bullpup?

I've got a bugfix request: Plasma SMG's when equipped with DoT ammo such as Venom or Dragon Rounds (Or Corrosive Rounds mod) cause frequent crashes to desktop. It's primarily Plasma tier SMG's, though Plasma Tier weapons with DoT ammo has caused crashes for me with other guns such as cannons, Sniper Rifles, Chosen Hunter's Rifle (Nearly as bad as Plas SMG), and Rifle. Dragon Rounds cause these crashes significantly less than Venom or Corrosive Rounds, but it's a persistent bug that exists even in the base game when I run zero mods at all. Skirmishers are just flat out banned from using anything but Tracer / Bluescreen / Talon Rounds for me.

@walt.bustamante
Thanks for your report, we'll look into it.

hey sup, since this is a new version of highlander that is being worked on you might as well try fix or look at an horrible bug related to templars that is easy to reproduce and thanks to my current highlander free campaign i was able to finally track it down. the bug is the following:

When running a templar on your squad upon reaching tier 3 weapons and equipement, any skill involving grapples from any unit on the map and status procs (Venom and Acid) will cause the game to crash often.

I've lost Several Campaigns trying to track this issue to no avail, changing and removing mods and starting fresh, but that was because the real problem was highlander (Not sure if is the normal one or the Alien hunters the one that causes it). i remember a couple of years ago finishing a full campaign with only the regular highlander so could be one of the updates it got.

This is a BETA release, so please keep an eye out and report any strange or unexpected behavior. Let us know if some of your soldiers suddenly become unable to equip PCS.

Most notable features:

- Fixed camera zoom-in bug caused by Free Camera Rotation and other mods that increase maximum camera zoom-out distance.

- Fixed Highlander bug ithat caused Reapers and Templars to always generate with USA names and no country in their bio.

- The option to enable Framerate Smoothing is now blocked, as it is known to break mods with Mod Class Overrides. If you have ever enabled Framerate Smoothing previously, you have to delete this file to undo the harm caused by this setting:
..\Documents\my games\XCOM2 War of the Chosen\XComGame\Config\XComEngine.ini

- The following bugfix is now integrated into this version of the Highlander as is no longer necessary:
