Uninstalling 2K Launcher caused problems with mods in XCOM 2, but a solution has been found
At the end of 2024, 2K finally removed its launcher to run games on PC, which made many players happy. However, not everything is as good as it seems.
Here's What We Know
After the launcher was removed, numerous complaints from XCOM 2 players appeared on Steam forums, noting that many mods no longer work and that installing them can lead to frequent game freezes. Using an alternative mod manager does not solve the problem either.
PC Gamer's author decided to test the game himself and found that XCOM 2 runs only with certain mods activated. Mods that require the War of the Chosen expansion work without any problems, while others do not.
However, he found a way to solve this problem: you need to open the mod file in a text editor and add the line "RequiresXPACK=true".
So now you know how you can continue to play XCOM 2 with mods.
