(Some contributors to do this mod were some original contributors)
The goal of this mod is not to make the game easier or harder, but was update the game. And also fix the weak points of the mod
Also removes everything that allows you to play not fair
Attention! Mod is not compatible with Long War Mod Manager! Since this program partially reverts the mod to version 1.0!
Also, the mod is intended only for Windows 10 or higher
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Full language support:
English, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian.

Switching in several places! Replace INT for example with UKR.

Some quotes

"LiQuiD911: I just stumbled upon LW 1.1 and would like to thank you for the effort of putting everything together." "Great work with LW 1.1"
"LiQuiD911: I just stumbled upon LW 1.1 and would like to thank you for the effort of putting everything together." "Great work with LW 1.1"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation
- First install the original Long War 1.0 in XEW folder.
- Second install the Long War 1.1 in XEW folder.
- That's it, the game is ready to launch!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution of problems
- Update Direct X. Without the required version, the game will not start at all.
- Update Net.framework 3.5.
- Update your graphics card drivers.It’s commonplace but many times this has helped people.
- Start the game from the beginning. Bad advice but yes, sometimes it helps. I once had a glitch right after the first mission, I started again and the whole game went through then without any problems.
- It is strongly recommended to delete all files in the Config folder before starting the new version. Path example: C:\Users\Admin\Documents\My Games\XCOM Long War\XComGame\Config
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adding support 21:9
Open your game's folder ...\Engine\Config
Open BaseEngine.ini
Then find:
[Engine.LocalPlayer] AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainXFOV
Change that with this:
AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainYFOV
That fix's most of the 21:9 issues. But it will not be comfortable on screens 3: 4 and 4: 5.

Balance clarifications
Q. I want to disable or change some new mechanics. How can I change them? What is a mod menu?
A. A new section has been added to the game - mod menu. You can turn on, turn off or change hundreds of parameters in the mod menu. Bring the game closer to version 1.0 or create your own unique balance.
Q. How does Squadron work? What do I get if I send 6 planes in a flight?
A. If you have a flight of 6 aircraft, you get a bonus damage not 6 times. As it may seem, but about a little more than 2-2.5 times. If you don't like this mechanic, you can, as before, launch 1 aircraft each and the multipliers will not turn on. But airplanes need several hours to refuel, now you cannot use the bug by repeatedly launching the airplane and making one shot at a time.
Q. What changes have been made with DR?
A. The more you make hits on the target, the lower the chance that armor will absorb some of the damage. In fact, the change is very small and the chance is initially low. The target usually dies faster than this mechanic will work at least once. Deliberately can only be seen by shooting a Sectopod with a firearm and hitting it about 10 times.
Q. Healing of soldiers with the Meld, what is it?
A. New mechanics. Speeding up the healing of a soldier with the Meld. The soldier will have at least 2 days to recover. Quite expensive and not widely applicable. Mainly for critical situations. Can be disabled in the mod menu.
Q. What is a perk reset?
A. Also new mechanics. With the Meld, you can reset the soldier perks. But bonuses from perks are not reset! This is done intentionally as a protection against foul play. But for example, you can now choose inconvenient perks that give bonuses to accuracy, health, and so on, and later reset the perks by choosing the ones you need. An incredibly long and risky development path for the soldier, but you can try to make the soldier a little stronger. Can be disabled in the mod menu.
Q. Why does flying armor use fuel so quickly?
A. Another new mechanic. Designed for realism and enhanced fuel cell benefits. You can increase the multipliers or disable this mechanic entirely in the mod menu.
Q. Why does Exalt not reload weapons now when receiving a debuff?
A. Exalt now gets a -100 accuracy debuff for one turn when using a tower. Which is more logical. You can be shot many times with almost no chance of being hit. Also, due to the debuff, they do not throw grenades so actively. This mechanic can be configured or completely disabled in the mod menu.
Q. What are the changes to the weapon?
A. Most minimal changes. For example, a submachine gun now has a bonus of 4% crit instead of 0% crit. It is still weaker than a carbine or rifle. Which have a higher crit. But now it is not so significant. As a rule, the submachine gun is the most unpopular type of weapon and it needed at least minimal reinforcement.
Q. What are the changes to the armor?
A. Most minimal changes. Basically, the amount of fuel in the flying armor. Or +1 run for the Aurora armor.
Q. What are the changes in Shiv balance?
A. The second model received +4 defence and protection from poison. The third model received invisibility, 3 uses, 1 per turn, and the fuel supply was slightly changed.
Q. What is Shiv XP?
A. If your soldier sees both shiv and target of shiv, then when killing an alien, the soldier will gain experience. The amount of experience can be configured in the mod menu. Or disable this mechanic altogether in the mod menu.
Q. What other notable changes in mechanics are there?
A. Mec can sometimes be tired for 12 hours more. In bomb defuse missions, the default timer is not 4 turns, but 5.
Q. What is the salvation team?
A. This is a new mechanic. The ability to get additional resources for money on some missions. Mainly intended for the later stages of the game.
Q. LW 1.1 is easer than LW 1.0?
A. Its didn't think to be easier. Although due to the abundance of choice. Because of the new mechanics, it might seem that way. The use of new mechanics depends on the difficulty of the game you choose. At maximum difficulty, this can be disadvantageous.

More Possibilities:
Using multiple cheats with one command:
In SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\XCom-Enemy-Unknown\XEW\Binaries two files. The strategy.txt and tactical.txt.
Save your cheats in the necessary file. Each with a new line. In the game, go to the console and type: exec strategy.txt. Or: exec tactical.txt.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Possible fixes:
If you still have an error APEX_Clothing:
Delete APEX_Clothing_x86.dll or APEX_Clothing_Legacy_x86.dll or both files. In folder:\Binaries\Win32
If your soldiers are constantly outside the map or under it:
Turn True in line: bDebugLocation=false. In file DefaultLWDebugger.ini. In folder:\XComGame\Config. Constantly enabling this setting is not recommended!
All sorts of weird bugs:
Exit the game. Delete all files inside folder: C:\Users\Admin\Documents\My Games\XCOM Long War\XComGame\Config
