Troubleshooting pre v1.17
We added a version display to the main menu. If you can see something like this (your version may vary), the Highlander is properly enabled.
If not, at least one of the required components is not loaded. Open the following file in a text editor
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\XCOM2 War of the Chosen\XComGame\Logs\Launch.log
and look for two lines (time and version may vary):
[0015.83] ScriptLog: X2WOTCCommunityHighlander: Created CHXCOMGameVersionTemplate with version 1.14.0
[0017.79] X2WOTCCommunityHighlander: Companion script package loaded
If the first line is missing, the XComGame replacement package is not working. For potential fixes, see below.
If the second line is missing, please file an issue. I don't think we had anyone with that problem yet.
There are two main causes for this problem:
- Another mod provides its own XComGame replacement. These mods will conflict and only one of them can be enabled at a given time.
- The game failed to load the XComGame replacement. Both Steam Family Sharing and a missing internet connection have been reported to cause this.
You can try circumventing that problem by copying all files from
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\268500\1134256495\CookedPCConsole\
to
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\XCOM2 War of the Chosen\XComGame\CookedPCConsole\
(Steam path may vary)
Please note that after doing this, removing the X2WOTCCommunityHighlander requires you to remove the files you copied manually.
If this still doesn't work, and you have confirmed that it's not another mod interfering, please file an issue.
