XCOM: Long War EW for Linux (LW-EW-Linux)
=========================================
This file contains Linux specific install and uninstall instructions. Original mod readme files are located in ./docs directory.
Before you begin
----------------
This mod is for Steam version of XCOM: Enemy Within only.
Switch off all Steam online features for XCOM: cloud sync and automatic updates.
Install notes
-------------
1. If you ever installed any other mods verify your Steam cache back to vanilla install.
2. Run install-LW.sh script.
Script will search for XCOM:EW install at two default locations:
~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/XCom-Enemy-Unknown/xew
or
~/.steam/steam/SteamApps/common/XCom-Enemy-Unknown/xew
Script will also overwrite user files. By default those are searched in:
~/.local/share/feral-interactive/XCOM/XEW
If you have XCOM:EW installed to some other location, you'll have to pass that location to script via command line:
./install-LW.sh /path/to/XEW/userfiles /path/to/XEW/install/dir
3. Install script will automatically backup you profile, existing saved games, user configuration files and vanilla game resources.
Default backup path for user files:
~/.local/share/feral-interactive/XCOM/XEW/backup
For game resources:
~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/XCom-Enemy-Unknown/xew/backup
4. If you have any previous LW-EW versions installed, script will backup your saved games (and all the other mod files), run uninstall procedure to revert to vanilla version and then install new LW-EW version.
Default backup path for user files:
~/.local/share/feral-interactive/XCOM/XEW/backup_oldLW
For game resources:
~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps/common/XCom-Enemy-Unknown/xew/backup_oldLW
5. Since install procedure requires user cache to be cleared, some of your game settings may revert to default values (video settings, for example).
Uninstall notes
---------------
1. Run uninstall-LW.sh script to remove LW-EW and revert to previously backed up vanilla game.
2. Script will delete all the modded files and restore original ones. This includes profile and vanilla saved games. LW-EW saved games will be deleted.
3. Default saved games location is
~/.local/share/feral-interactive/XCOM/XEW/savedata
You can manually backup this folder before uninstalling the mod.
Troubleshooting
---------------
If you're experiencing some strange bugs, like 4 man squad instead of 6 from the start, unusual alien stats, etc try to block Firaxis' servers via /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 prod.xcom.firaxis.com
127.0.0.1 prod.xcom-ew.firaxis.com
