Hello.

I searched thw web and this forum and did not find an answer to this simple question. I have checked the mods in Xcom 2 startup screen. But I dont get the LW toolbox options. not in main manu and not inside a campaign.
Can anyone help? Please!

Thanks but it didnt help. There are no entries containing "ModClassOverrides" in my XComEngine.ini. Maybe thats part of the problem?

Or could it be that I require the DLCs to run the mods? I dont have any DLC, just vanilla XCom 2.

The mods don't require the DLCs.

You might try switching to the Nexus version of the mod (assuming you are using the Steam one). They are the same, but are loaded differently.

Thanks but it still doesnt work. I tried switching off all the 6 steam workshop mods and only swithcing on nexus toolbox mod but I didnt get the LW options again.

Any other ideas?

A couple more things to check...

If you find the Launch.log in the My Games / XCom2 / XComGame / Logs, if the game is even finding the mod is should have this in there :

Code: Select all

[0002.89] Log: Checking DLC installation for ../../XcomGame/Mods/LW_Toolbox ...
[0002.89] Log: IS INSTALLED : YES
The timestamps may vary.

The next thing is to look for a line such as :

Code: Select all

[0024.83] LW_Toolbox_Debug: ToolboxOptions: Updating Weapon Templates for Randomized Damage
That runs when the a game is being loaded. If that's running, then the mod is loading and executing. If not, there's something preventing it from loading at all.

Just out of curiosity, did you verify files or truly reinstall from scratch?

Clearing out the old ModClassOverrides worked for me!
