Some users suggest that you update ~/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/XCom-Enemy-Unknown/XCOMData/XEW/XComGame/Config/DefaultGameCore.ini as well to be safe. Note for Linux and OS X users, you will need to modify XComGameCore.ini, which is located at ~/Library/Application Support/Feral Interactive/XCOM Enemy Unknown/XEW/MacInit/XComGameCore.ini for OS X and ~.local/share/feral-interactive/XCOM/XEW/WritableFiles/XComGameCore.ini for Linux. WinMerge will help you quickly identify differences and apply all your previous modifications to the new Long War version. To easily preserve the custom modifications you did on a previous version, open a backup copy of your old DGC.ini and the new updated version DGC.ini. WinMerge allows you to open two text files (like the DGC.ini) side by side and compare differences between them. It is recommended that you download and use Notepad++ to alter defaultgamecore.ini because it is visually easier to use and numbers the lines (which may be referenced in this page).Īnother useful tool is the free software WinMerge.

For a typical Windows user, this file can be found at C:/Program Files x86/Steam/SteamApps/common(OR your username)/XCom-enemy-unknown/XEW/XComGame/Config. Unless otherwise noted, code changes occur in the DefaultGameCore.ini file this is commonly referred to as the DGC.ini. Long War has made it easy for individual users to tweak parts of the game for their own preference.
