What really happened?
Some updates recently caused the game to stop working. Although my installation of Long war 1.0 seemed normal, I now encounter crashes when trying to access missions. Steam is still in perma-offline mode, and I haven’t made any changes. The game starts normally in Geoscape but fails when entering battlescape. A few people say it’s a patched version from 2K, but I’m unsure if that helps since I’m using LW and need to patch the executable myself. Should LW users reinstall the game using 2K’s executable and then LW again?
For most users the application would no longer start because of a Windows update or an action from 2K. For me, using LW mod and Steam in perma-offline mode, the game functioned but with limited capabilities. It wouldn't load properly into the battlescape and would crash, though Geoscape worked without issues. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what triggered the issue. My files haven't been updated in a long time. The official update by 2K was released, but it seems to have caused problems either from their side or a Windows update. I don't have a clear explanation yet.
