FAQ
The game won't start with LWOTC. What can I do?

Make sure you are subscribed to all the required mod dependencies. Steam won't do this automatically. Also make sure you are subscribed to the Alien Hunters Community Highlander if, and only if, you have the Alien Hunters DLC enabled.

If you still have problems, try these steps:
  • Unsubscribe from LWOTC and its dependencies
  • Clear your user configs (see step 6 of installation guide[github.com])
  • Start the game
  • Resubscribe to LWOTC and its dependencies
  • Start the game again (you may need to restart one more time after this)
If you're still having issues, head to our Discord server[discord.gg].

This is an issue with the Workshop version of the Extended Information mod. Go into Mod Settings (button is shown on the main game options screen at the bottom) and disable Aim Assist from Extended Information's settings.

Why are my grenade icons black in tactical missions?

You are probably using the Cost-based Ability Colors mod. You'll need to go into LWOTC's XComLW_Overhaul.ini file and set USE_ACTION_ICON_COLORS to "FALSE", which you can find here in the config file[github.com].

My game crashes when I launch a mission. How do I fix it?

If you are using any custom maps or the Missing Packages Fix - Parcels and Maps Edition mod, then see this discussion for a fix.

There are still issues and none of the above helps. Anything else?

Make sure you don't have frame rate smoothing enabled in the game options. This breaks lots of mods, not just LWOTC.

Make sure you have actively subscribed to all the required mods, particularly the WOTC Community Highlander and the Alien Hunters Highlander. Steam does not automatically subscribe you to the required mods.

Sometimes the issue is simply conflicts between mods. These are typically hard to diagnose, but by running LWOTC with *just* its required mods you can at least work out whether such a mod conflict is the likely source. If LWOTC runs fine without optional mods, you'll need to track down the one causing the issue.

Lastly, if nothing else has worked, try the "nuclear" option:
  1. Unsubscribe from all mods
  2. Clear your user config files (under Documents\My Games...)
  3. Verify integrity of files for XCOM 2 in Steam
  4. Launch WOTC without any mods
  5. Resubscribe to LWOTC and its required mods
  6. Start the game
You can also just reinstall the game rather than verifying the integrity of the game files.

Does LWOTC work with a controller

Yes. If you want to use a controller, we recommend you also subscribe to these mods:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2117960082
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2314584410

Does LWOTC work with RPG Overhaul by Musashi?

With some effort, and not perfectly. Check out this discussion on RPGO's Workshop page for instructions/help.

Does LWOTC work with Covert Infiltration?

This is a meme. And no, they don't work together.

If your game tries to get you to build an item in Engineering (medkit, which is free in LW2/LWOTC), and locks you on that screen, then you have accidentally activated the tutorial. Likewise, if the game locks when encountering your first chosen, you have somehow activated the WOTC tutorial, Lost and Abandoned.

Neither of those function with LW2/LWOTC, and are intended to be impossible to activate. If you somehow activated them anyway, they will brick your campaign one way or another, and require a new campaign without them.

You may have a mod interfering with LWOTC, or Framerate Smoothing enabled, if you get the option to enable either of the base-game tutorials.

"[WOTC] Reliable Ever Vigilant" can solve this issue.

https://github.com/long-war-2/lwotc/issues/496
Ever Vigilant activates pistol overwatch instead of rifle overwatch

Can one utilise the Faction Mission Cards each month? Or has this been deactivated?

Cause everytime I do a successful Mission to Find a Chosen Stronghold, I get rewarded with one of these Mission Cards.. But there is nowhere to implement them like in vanilla.

Originally posted by Nico:
Did you enable the resistance orders in the second wave options, when you started the campaign? Since if you didn't you can't get access to them anymore in your campaign.
Though in general those orders are not balanced for the LWOTC mod, so some of them might be really op, which is why they're disabled by default.

Never Mind, found my Answer, dough!

Recruits in the Recruits tab are generated by rebels in havens being assigned the Recruit job. Most recruits go towards the havens themselves, but some are sent to the recruit pool. It takes a while, so you are better off buying soldiers from the black market, or rescuing them through jailbreaks and VIP missions.

At this stage, though, you're run is probably doomed.

I have a recruits notified by the game but it doesn't appear in the pool.

If they aren't appearing in the recruit tab, then there may be some kind of mod incompatibility or something. They should be there, waiting to be hired.
