@haite, there is an iron man backup program, download it, it saves your file directly as you play just press windows key then press save iron man. it is called ironman save backup...it is quite intuitive and quite easy far better than bronzeman

Mod works great but has a significant flaw, Bronzeman selector overlaps with advanced options, making it impossible to see if i hvae advanced option on (it only happens if someone has a lot of those possible options due mods, but its still big issue)

Lost a save file in legend ironman. This would had saved me. Do bronzeman/honestman, NO ironman, people.

Consistent crashing at the beginning or end of tactical layer iirc, most likely due to mentioned TLP issues as there are no other conflicts and has been narrowed down to this mod.

Has been like this for long, doesn't seem like it'll get an update, sadly.

Quick question:
does this mod still has issues with the Tactical Legacy Pack?

@najizhimo
Low FPS on the geoscape is usually indicative of a Mod Class Override (MCO) conflict. They're the only type of conflict that AML will identify so use that if you're not already.

Maybe its due to the "better second-wave supprot" indeed from other comment

I find out this is the specific mod which causing my geomap frame drop sinificantly from 200+ fps to below 20. I know its not the creator's fault, just due to some weird conflict with other mods. Leave a comment here for the others to potentially solve their problem.

Can't get this to work with A Better Second Wave Support, what's the workaround?

can we get this to play nice with better second-wave support without using the workaround?

This mod is FANTASTIC. Just want I was looking for! Only a single autosave for battles (no rolling back more than the current turn start) unless you want to redo the whole mission (which will regenerate the whole thing unless it's a scripted mission).

I haven't noticed any issues but I did disable the Tactical Legacy Pack DLC just to be safe.
Just wanted to give my supreme kudos to you, sir!

I have an issue in which the game crashes like 50% of the times when reverting to geoscape or when finishing a mission (rarely when starting a mission). I have many mods, so I tried switching them off (in batches) to see whether any other mod was causing this, but it looks like it is either this mod (perhaps in conflict with other mods that I could not identify yet) or the 2K/Steam launcher. Any advice from the author or any other users who have experienced something similar? Thanks!

need bronzeman. no one has time to constantly delete saves, and ironman games die on the first bug.

i cant even play at the moment :( tiny violins need lwotc restart mission button

thanks for reply.
I asked at their discord, and got response that there is no bronze man mode in LWOTC.
I'll look if that is true, but if it is, would be awesome if there would be version of this for LWOTC too.

Kahvipannu: no, it's not Long War compatible. I believe Long War supplies its own version of this.

WotcLongWar compatible?

I think I read in the community highlander notes, that you can enable a bronzeman version in it's ini?

Yup, that's the big issue, it doesn't work for some players, including myself actually.

Thank you for the speedy response! Is that the only known issue? If so, I might give your mod a try anyway and see if it works for me. If I can still save during missions I won't really be any worse off than before lol.

This mod has some issues that I haven't gotten around to sorting out, and it's causing some people to still be able to save during missions.

Anyone know if this mod still works?

It can be activated when starting a new campaign. However, Bronzeman won't work in Gatecrasher because there is no prior Geoscape moment to return to! Be careful when blowing up the pretentious modern art, Commander!

doesnt work

@Voidlight just activate the bronzeman mode after gatecrasher mission(mission 1)

I have RGO and such but I am wondering if this mod currently works with the last dlc to be released for this game as well as with RPGO.

@Green Raven u can enable it after gate crasher via mcm option

Was this ever updated for tactical legacy? I cant find the option for bronzeman, Im not using "better second wave".

Thanks for your hard work!

Don't suppose you'd make this mod (or a copy of this mod) that Bronzeman Mode is always on? I'm asking because it'd be nice for a collection so others can just click and play.

@J_special
Using mods doesn't disable achievements.

is this disable aechievements?

Hi Guby,

thanks for the reply. I'll have a try.

Hi admapcloth, I suspect it's because we both modify the new game launch menu. You may be able to work around this by doing what Varel did and use MCM to activate Bronzeman mode from the Geoscape instead.

For anyone wondering, couldn't find what caused this, but solved problem with the in game activation. You can ctivate bronzeman after the first mission once you get to geospace threw MCM options.

the option doesn't appear for me on new game creation.
Bronzeman mod does appear in MCM tough, weird.
I do have better second wave option which is required for other mod, but other people conflicting with seem to still be able to launch a bronzeman game.

game without this mod is just awful...

Hi,

For me this conflicts with better second wave mod support and causes the whole game, not just the geoscape to slow down.

Guby is there anything manually I can change to get them both working?

Kind Rgds

Adampcloth

Hey Kahvipannu and Flash2, sorry, I don't currently have plans to make it work with the Long War of the Chosen. The problem is actually just that my day job these days is a lot busier than when I was an active modder, so other than maintaining MCM, modding has taken a backseat.

If another modder wants to adapt this code to work with Long War of the Chosen, they are welcome to. =)

I would love that aswell. The Mod seems to conflict with the necessary Better Second Wave Mod Support Mod and the geoscape will lag like hell with this mod enabled. At least for me.

Here is the link for it:

Hey, been loving your mod. Any chance for version, that is compatible with Long War of the chosen-beta?

For those who want a restart in a level, you could always use the console command Restartlevel

is there a restart mission option in this mod?

Hey Kaz, work's still a bit too busy to sit down and properly debug the issue, but I'll update when I get more free time. I am able to trigger the problem for myself, so it's more about when I will get free time.

Hehe... Iron out... You'r funny.

Any chance for an update? Doesn't currently appear to work.

This option should definitively be in the official game.

Thanks @Dragon This solved the problem, and probably a lot of others I wasn't aware of. I had forgotton that Xcom is a bit of a buggy mess.

@Twitchz:
A really slow Geoscape is generally indicative of a mod conflict. Have a read of these, they should help:
Troubleshooting: Mods not working properly / at all
Mod not working? Mods still have their effects after you disable them?
And if you use the Firaxis launcher: https://www.reddit.com/r/xcom2mods/wiki/wotc_modding/guides/fix_duplicateactivemod

Love this mod however I have noticed that for whatever reason its causing me a lot of lag, most noticably in the Geoscape which seems to be super slow :(

Is there any fix for this currently? As I have cleaned out my config files already and that didnt help.

Hey DEEP DARK FANTASY, thanks for reporting that. I'm aware of it and working on a fix, though it may take some time to get that fixed.

The game still auto-saves mid-mission, so you can revert to Geoscape and then reload back into the mission.
