I am playing with the DLC (Alien Hunters and Shen's Last Gift) installed, but the story missions turned off. Under this configuration, is there a Force Level required for the Rulers to start showing up? I am also a little worried: when I was playing a 1.1 campaign, the Viper King showed up normally...

This would be tedious for a total respec, but there's a pretty nice step-by-step for repairing Solace in this thread - http://www.pavonisinteractive.com/phpBB ... 17&t=26221

Lyzak's point is that there are two versions of solace in the game with two different descriptions: The bugged one is the "old" version, and its description says something about passively projecting an aura that immediately extinguishes mental effects. This ability was causing tons of prob...

I believe that's the wording used in the vanilla ability, which functions identically. I agree that it's a bit misleading, but it's not surprising to me that Pavonis didn't think to change the description, since they didn't change the ability at all, and every time they change in-game text they also...

You're the 2nd person I've seen complain of this. Do you have a save file from before it happened?

It doesn't look like Insanity hit, since the Advent gunner doesn't appear to be disoriented, panicked, or mind controlled. As Lyzak said, it only does damage if Insanity actually hits.

About dodge chance with low graze band settings... I play with 0% graze band and noticed the same thing, and did some empirical testing. It turns out that the issue is a UI one, not a combat one. I took a soldier with 40% dodge and consoled in a bunch of health and had her eat a bunch of shots. I n...

It's a new bug in 1.3/1.4 involving the fact that Bastion uses the *vanilla* version of Solace (the aura ability) as a prereq and not the new LW2 version (the targeted ability). There's a mod that fixes it until 1.5 comes out (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=933334693), but it'...

I'll add a question here, what counts as "Flanked or Exposed"? In LW1 Mechtoids and Berserkers were "Exposed" and could be hit and run. In LW2, I think MECs are NOT exposed, or at least HitnRun doens't work on them. I'm guessing the same will be true for Sectopods, Drones, Berse...

Add my experience to the mix as well, exactly as OP described it. I was stealthing my way through the beginning of an Advent HQ, taking out all the turrets and solo drones from concealment with haywire/trojan. I trojan'd a hunter drone with 8hp and it took 7 damage. I had just started to say "o...

I was used to burning lasting one full alien turn, applying one last tick of damage on the second alien turn and fade out on that same turn. Do advent officers have some kind of fire resistance perk?. Today I used roust on one of them, got the burn applied, and on the next turn the advent officer g...

I've seen this bug twice now, exactly the same each time. It's an ironman campaign, so no save, unfortunately. LW 1.4 on Steam, Windows 10. I am not using any mods that modify loot drops in any way. I can post my full mod list if it seems worth it... let me know. Here's the setup: 1. Mind control an...

For what it's worth, this is what JL had to say when asked about this right after 1.3 was released: Does the free radio tower you get from liberation count towards the increasing cost to manually build radio towers? It does. (The vanilla code just counts how many towers you have when pricing the nex...

I enabled this mod last night, and then started training solace on one of my PsiOps. It was the "correct" version of solace with the updated LW2 1.3 description.

I'll post here again with what happens when I finish training it.

Awesome! Thanks to RealityMachina for the mod and to Tuhalu for the heads up.

This is pretty good work! I think if you post this in the Bug forum, it's more likely to be seen and responded to by the devs.

At any rate, will be fixed in 1.5. Fun fact: it was a vanilla bug fixed in the patch that came with the Alien Hunters DLC. The code we had for pistols copied the bug, and the copy didn't get fixed in the patch, which is why it applies only to pistols. This is such great news! It must feel great to ...

The files in that folder can be deleted and will be generated fresh the next time you start the game. This is basically the first thing you should always try when faced with buggy behavior stemming from a mod. From the pinned thread in the bug report forum: "If you are have problems with the mo...

I guess not technically "Vanilla", because the SPARK is a DLC unit? But yeah, Bulwork is a Firaxis-created perk (not Pavonis) and creates some strange AI behavior. As I said, if you position yourself properly, you can bait Advent units into actually moving to take cover behind your SPARK. ...

This is a well-known vanilla bug, and unlikely to be fixed by the LW2 devs. I kind of like it... you can bait advent into using the SPARK as cover and then pull the rug out by moving somewhere else.

Thank you for your work and response! So is solace completely useless, then, if it doesn't show up in combat even after you train it? Is the workaround here just "never train solace"? If so, is there a way to mod the config so solace doesn't show up as an option anymore? I didn't want to ...

It's RNG-based. You can improve your odds by: Staffing a solider with more solider ranks as your advisor Staffing a soldier with more officer ranks as your advisor Staffing a soldier with more psi-op ranks as your advisor The numbers are different for each rank in each category, and the relevant sec...

It's neither - it's working exactly as designed.

The 3 "extra" rebels, I believe, are true reserves. They'll be there to fill in if any of your rebels get killed in retaliation or rendezvous missions.

Do you have RealityMachina's "More Rewards" mod installed? He replied on the main forum saying that until very recently, his mod would cause this behavior.
