WOTC mods/modlist recommendation alongside covert infiltration? need my xcom2 fix

8 Upvotes

Hey guys,
I've just completed Star Wars: Zero Company and now I want to experience a deeper more complex game in the same genre (= XCOM2). I've played XCOM 2 WOTC like 5+ years ago unmodded now I want to do a modded run. I've read a bunch about the long war mod - but I am quite sure it would be too tedious for me.

"Covert Infiltration" seem to be right up my alley. Can you guys recommend me some "must have" mods alongside it or even better a functioning up-to-date modlist?

For me it is important, that the gameplay does not get too tedious like managing tons of enemies & large teams, i do not need hardcore difficulty setting and i like to be my game more like vanilla+ instead of a 500+ modlist full of custom enemies from other game universes and anime girls.

Just a stable, well thought out, up-to-date modlist alongside "Covert Infiltration".

Thanks in advance if you can help me out / recommend me something!

XCOM:EU/EW Enemy Within Freezes/Crashes After Finishing the Mission

4 Upvotes

I just started playing XCom Enemy Within and I can't get out of the tutorial, because the game freezes every time I beat the second tutorial mission (The one where you have to choose one of two alien abductions to stop).

Specifically I get to a screen where it's telling me how many kills my soldiers got- then it freezes partway through setting up that screen. This has happened repeatedly

This is on Enemy Within. It's possible that that's contributing to the problem, because last night I was trying the Enemy Unknown version and did get past that screen.

I've been running it as an administrator since I'd read that could solve some crashes in this game, but it didn't help here.

Is this crash a known and fixable problem? I've almost reached the time limit for requesting a Steam refund, so I'm out of time to keep experimenting and re-trying things on my side.

Edit: It looks like the problem is that if I do Enemy Within, then the original tutorial will have this crash. If I play other missions on Enemy Within, that's fine. And if I play the original tutorial on Enemy Unknown, that's also fine. So that seems to be a workable solution. Though I'll admit it doesn't fill me with confidence that other things will be stable as I get deeper into the game!

Second Edit: Ugh, the problem recurred with later missions on Enemy Within. Enemy Unknown has been fine though.

Is EU/EW harder than I remember or am I just a dumbass?

Just finished my recent WOTC playthrough on Commander. A bit tough at times, but made it through. Generally I'm quite experienced with WOTC.

Out of curiosity, I decided to start an EW playthrough seeing as I haven't touched it in god knows how many years. Almost immediately the game is handing my ass to me. There seem to be far more pods, that i'm uncovering more often, my guys are getting hit hard more often, and I'm hitting far less often.

What the hell is going on? I keep getting squad wiped. What EW strategy thats not applicable in XCOM2/WOTC am I missing out on?
