  1. Suave tnx for quick tips. i was always in love with shotguns and they dont work. I started on normal again and now im doing fine, 6 successful missions. Yes, there where some Caesans on first mission, but bigger problem were those melee fighting aliens with tails , forgot the name. I know fire is good against them, but on your first mission you dont have any fire weapon. Charon - I made clear install and everything is working great. i have latest update , 0.41 Btw, mod is in such great shape, with this mode this game is in my top 10 games ever. I so love yours research tree , pictures of aliens and weapons. And love your moded enemies and their AI. Just this bleeding is 2 hard now i think. Maybe ill research some better medkit and then would be little bit easier. RIght now almost all of my soldiers carry medkit , because of bleeding.

  2. This. The first time I was trying to install this mod I could not - simply because I have not read the instructions properly and I "thought" I knew what I was doing. Then I made a clean install of the vanilla and followed the install instructions of x-div to the letter. Worked like a charm. @Charon is doing a GRAND job with this mod, I am sure that the full installer will come sooner or later. Meanwhile it is really worth to spend a bit of time to make sure that the installation guide is followed and the game is installed properly - I used to play UFO series from my Amiga 600 onward, as well as all the other "similar" games (and Xenonauts mods), but it is only with X-Division that I am finally happy. It is of course not perfect yet, but it will be. Try again and please let us know if you run into any issues.

  3. There is only one thing harder than installing X-Division and that is to read. Not saying you did something wrong, a lot of people seem to have that problem. So let me ask you, what was not understandable ( friendly, asking for constructive feedback ) ? The 3.1 point in the main thread clearly has a step by step explanation. Was it not clear that you should start there ? What was the problem with each individual step ? There is a table of content right below the introduction. Was it visible ? There will be an installer in the future, which is already present for the .41 patch. We didnt decide to make it that complicated, thats xenonaut. Its on the main page under 3.1 Installation. Easy starts where the Veteran difficulty ended in the vanilla game. What i gathered from your words is that you dont have the 0.41 update, i suggest you read the throught the whole 3.X topics again and make a reinstallation. 3.4 is the Patch section. The main file is a multi rar file, you cant extract only parts from it. Or You could only follow step 4 and 5 in the 3.1 Installation topic and then proceed straight to the 3.4 Latest Patch topic. That should be the quickest way, given that you have a correct XCE installation. @Suave can say things much nicer than my current mood allows .

  4. Hello there, You can start with easy first, it is not that easy after all..it is x-division easy. From your description I can tell that you have encountered Ceasans on your first mission - they carry shields, so you have to either hit them from behind or just wear the shields down (about 200hp, but I might be wrong, someone will probably correct me here). Also the alien-like beasts are very vulnerable to fire/laser, but resistant to ballistic - initially they might be hard, but later on they are a piece of cake. You would probably need to unload two heavy machinegun burst at them or throw some grenades. There are many tactics you can use, you will learn quite quickly, although AI is really good and can be unpredictable. You can watch some videos on Youtube, Phoenix does a thorough play-through and he is very good at it. Since you have asked, I can share my initial tactics here - I do not bother with any other weapons initially other then shield/pistol and machineguns. Why? Machineguns can suppress the enemy and the shield can take some punishment - just suppress the enemy (you do not even have to hit it) and advance with shields while throwing smoke grenades. Once in range, charge the enemy and unleash machinegun bursts - at front, a Ceasean will loose the shield at first point-blank burst and the second will kill him easily. Do not overuse missile launchers, as you will destroy the loot from the enemies. After you get the Hunter car, things get much easier, but remember - smoke grenades are your friends! And secondly - this is not X-COM - even with Long War, this mod is much harder. Obviously, this is just my tactics - my younger bro uses all kinds of weapons and uses a lot of crouching/sniping/etc - it just depends on your playstyle ( I basically charge the enemy...). Good luck!
