Is there any reason that I would change \XComGame\Config\DefaultGameData.ini (to "m_iMaxSoldiersOnMission=6") and yet not get 6 soldiers default?
I keep trying to fix it, and it's real annoying, cause I'm not sure whether Gatecrasher should have 4 or 6 rookies now. So I've been making new campaigns, playing through gatecrasher with 4, and then scanning until my first mission to test.
I have the DefaultUI.ini "MaxDisplayedSlots=8". The UI "Max Squad Size Fix" mod is in my load order as well. None of the mods seems to edit DefaultGameData.ini.
I mean, I guess I can scrap my whole mod stack and try this edit without it, but due to the nature of the edit, I don't see how that would help. I'm confused as to why this doesn't seem to be working.
When i get the Squad Size II upgrade (so i should have 8 on a mission) i can only see 6 on the pre-mission equipment screen but still have 8 on mission. I could see 7 when i had the Squad Size I upgrade. Is there any way to fix this or is it just the UI?
Getting numerous reports that some people can see 7, some can see 8, most can only see 6. Don't know what's going on. There's a file you can change for the UI, but that doesn't seem to help. It may require the mod tools to update.
After you get get the Squad Size II upgrade even if you use the "Max Squad Size Fix" of hairlessOrphanhttp://www.nexusmods.com/xcom2/mods/13/? (wich i thank here as we talk about his work) you have to edit a file:
Go to [Steam Installation Folder]\SteamApps\common\XCOM 2\XComGame\Config\ Open up DefaultUI.ini in Notepad (or text editor of your choice) Search for: MaxDisplayedSlots Set that equal to the number you set in step one plus 2 (default is 6)
(from hairlessOrphan' Steams read me. Thanx to him ! )
You wont SEE the 2 characters on the right on the pre-mission equipment screen but you'll be able to "edit" them (at least i did test this with m_iMaxSoldiersOnMission=6 AND MaxDisplayedSlots=8 and i SEE 6 characters but can edit 8 and have them during the mission )
Or it happens i have a 21X9 ultrawide monitor and this might change UI stuff ?
so how does the auto picker works for the members that are above 6? how you know which one is it going to pick? is there a pattern ( like from the higest rank down? ) or is it random?

I'm not using this mod, but it's literally one ini value that is changed, I did it manually. :p
