Well, it works but the list is only showing custom classes.

How do you get this to work? I am am trying a long war in WOTC and I need the choice to choose in this.

Still not working even with the posted fix.

Anyone else getting a new glitch where the very first Rookie you promote lacks the "Confirm" button when selecting the "Starting Abilities"? I swear I encountered this before in some capacity, but I most definitely got around it in the past. Anyone know a solution?

if yall having issues with it not working follow Teamapes instructions (April-11-2025)

despite following the steps outlined by everyone else i cannot get this thing to work, running with LWOTC but even without it it's non-functional

Does this work with amalgamation Classes?

Confirm unlike Telcontyr before, the following addition of RequiresXPACK=true, enables CC from the New Mod Launcher for me.

SteamLibrary/steamapps/workshop/content/268500/688405905/CommandersChoice.XComMod

[mod]
publishedFileId=688405905
Title=Commanders Choice
Description=Description of My XCOM 2 Mod.
tags=
contentImage=
RequiresXPACK=true

Can confirm that it works with Original Mod Launcher, not sure either if RequiresXPACK=true is required but I added it to the file anyway.

Adding RequiresXPACK=true did NOT make the mod work with the New Mod Launcher.

For me the github Alternative Mod Launcher just crashes when I try to use it.

SteamLibrary/steamapps/workshop/content/268500/688405905/CommandersChoice.XComMod

[mod]
publishedFileId=688405905
Title=Commanders Choice

RequiresXPACK=true

Launch the game with the original mod launcher (you can do this by right clicking on the game in your library and clicking properties) and it works at least for me.
I'm not sure if you have to add RequiresXPACK=true if the mod files like other people said but I did so it's probably best advised.

That alternative mod launcher crashes the second I press launch WOTC at the top...

For everyone still having issues with this mod, add the RequiresXPACK=true line in the CommandersChoice.XComMod file and use the Alternative Mod Launcher here:
{LINK REMOVED}https://github.com/X2CommunityCore/xcom2-launcher

That worked for me

Все работает. в файлах ничего не прописывал, RequiresXPACK уже была изначально прописана....возможно из за того, что игру скачал на днях.
запускал Long War of the Chosen, через Alternative Mod Launcher....по другому не пробовал.
=========================================================================
Everything works. I didn’t write anything in the files, RequiresXPACK was already written there initially... possibly because I downloaded the game recently.
I launched Long War of the Chosen through the Alternative Mod Launcher... I haven’t tried it any other way."

Tried adding RequiresXPACK=true as recommended by previous comments but this seems to not work. If possible, could mod poster do a fix? It would be much appreciated

mod does not work with wotc

@Chris Redfield Where in the files would I do this?

@Chris Redfield
I was copying Ninjaboy. He left the S out of his. But with the S, it works. Thanks for the quick reply.

@Boge you forgot to add the s on RequiresXPACK=true, that's why it's not working for you.

This has recently stopped working for me. It was working a few weeks back, but not today. I use the AML as well. It's making me wonder how many other mods I have that are not working and I won't realize it until 20 hours later at the end of my playthrough.
Adding RequireXPACK=true to CommandersChoice.XComMod does NOT fix it.
Freaking updates. Why can't a released game just stay released and not be modified?

@Ninjaboy - what file does this need to be added to?

it does work if you write RequireXPACK=true in files

unfortunately, the mod doesn't work, even with trying some of the suggestions in the comments

Not working for me anymore either.

i have no commanders choice option..using the new mod launcher too..

@akio It means Alternative Mod Loader

the fuck does AML mean :sob:

Thanks to VS-lockon and Nocturno for posting how to make the mod working for WotC. Using "new mod launcher" option on the game start, no AML. Works with Long War of the Chosen!

And thanks to the mod authors for the mod itself!

Is the mod corrupted or something? A couple of months ago it was working correctly, is there a way to fix it now or is it time to resort to another mod?

if there is a setting in the mod I need to change that can make it work, as I see a few people further down mention, how do I do that?

so this was working for me for quite awhile, recently I think they updated the games launch window and now it says this mod is only available in vanilla, I have it selected and active but it won't work on WOTC. all I now is the launch window looks different than it did awhile ago and now the mod won't work on WOTC like it used to

IT WORKS
Not compatible with Musahis RPG Overhaul or any variant

Add this into the CommandersChoice.XComMod:
RequiresXPACK=true

Works good for now

The mod is not working for me. Iv tried to changed stuff in the ini but iv gotten no change.

I don't know why, but at the beginning, I completed some tasks, but my new recruit automatically chose the class

dont work, no change from original game, no commanders button, reinstalled game running only this mod, checked .ini...simply not working at all

@VS-lockon it worked by changing the file like you posted before, thanks a lot!

Luninhafreya go down few tab and fix there if you not on AML as well RequiresXPACK=true for WotC and RequiresXPACK=false if you on xcom2

mod doesn't seem to be working :(
promote on After isn't disabled and Commander's Choice doesn't appear

all AML do is add ore remove RequiresXPACK true or false and in truth you mod use work with base game launcher now that 4k launcher been remove for steam one that no longer the case and some ppl like my self included AML can't find the file it need to load so AML out question do to if you have game on any other hard drive or ssd other then c dive AML can't find the file and my pc set up for my os on c drive and my game on d drive and that not going change for this pc

Does AML not work anymore?
By changing RequiresXPACK to true marks this mod as WotC only, which it's not.
But it won't hurt for you to do it unless you are trying to play without WotC.

Will also confirm that VS-lockon 's solution works. Just a side note on it, had to deactivate in the mod menu and reactive it for the mod to work after adding the line.

Just want to add on that VS-Lockon and Nocturno are correct, this DOES fix it. Thanks!

@Nocturno np happy to help

I've found that adding the line RequiresXPACK=true at the end of the CommandersChoice.XComMod file seems to work for me too. In my case, that file is in the following path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\688405905
Thank you, VS-lockon!

look in to other Choice mod file still work i fond the line RequiresXPACK=true so i try add in to the Commander's Choice.XComMod line and it seem to fix it for me the line look like this be for i change it
