LONG WAR 2 INSTALL

If you install this mod over an existing version you won't be able to uninstall back to vanilla to do so, you'll have to go to Steam and use the Verify Integrity of Game Cache option (under the game's Steam Library context menu ? Properties ? Local Files tab) to restore your game to its original settings.

If you want to use alternate game textures via TexMod, install them AFTER you fully install Long War.

Your savegames should be preserved, though. Unfortunately, turning off automatic updates to the game in Steam, via the game's Steam Library context menu ? Properties ? Updates tab, does not prevent patches from loading.

LONG WAR 2 UPDATE

If Firaxis/ 2K Games issues any patches to vanilla XCOM, it will overwrite and disable Long War, and almost certainly make the mod unplayable until the modders are able to update it.

Long War campaigns probably won't work well in vanilla. Campaigns are saved even if you uninstall, so you should be able to return to vanilla campaigns.

The mod will not work properly on vanilla Enemy Within campaigns, so you'll need to start a new one.

A Mac and Linux version is available via separate downloads.

This mod will overwrite several game files and likely render multiplayer unplayable until you uninstall.

If you have been playing vanilla XCOM in a language other than the one you installed it in, switch XCOM to the installed Long War language via its properties in Steam.

You may receive a crash to desktop (CTD) error this appears to be some aspect of the mod completing installation and then making nice with Steam. If you didn't, have you may have missed a step.

When you select your path to install the mod, you should receive a warning that the directory already exists.

LONG WAR 2 SOFTWARE

We have specific reports that Comodo security software prevents a proper install, and BitDefender free crashes the game on startup. If you have any trouble with installation, do this as well.
