For those of you that are waiting on various timer mods.
Long War 2 has built in timer modifications for those that don't want to wait for mod authors to update. (XComLW_Overhaul.ini) Lines 1037 - 1040 will have what you're looking for.

How do you tweak these timers?

@texasgoldrush Just change the numbers. It'll add whatever number you put in to the turn timer. So if you change it from 0 to 50, for instance, it'll give you 50+(base turns) per mission.

Sory for the (probably obvious) question, but i can't find the file you mention. Where should it be located?

C:\...\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\844674609\Config - It's not obvious.

Would you need to start a new campaign after changing the .ini?

Does mod that makes timer start ticking after you've been found still work?

You're supposed to get a global +4 extra turns on rookie and +1 on veteran, but this doesn't seem to be working for some people and they're still getting the default timers no matter the difficulty.

@SwagWeedEveryYear No, True Concealment does not work yet.

the mod you are talking about is true concealment, and I would like to know that as well since with that the timers weren't as bad.

For increasing the amount of pips needed for the Avatar Project to initiate the Doomsday Timer? Yes (XComGameData.ini) Lines 311 - 318. Though everything from 260 - 342 is relevent to the Avatar Timer. File found in the same place as the last one.

Shouldn't need to as it calls the function every time you launch a mission. It will not work on missions already in progress though.

Use a text editor like Notepad++.

Would someone please list the text of the lines for folks just using simple notepad.

Got it. Its almost at the very end of the Overhaul.ini in \Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\844674609\Config. Look for lines 1037-1040 which reads:

; Across-the-board extra turns by difficulty level, can be negative
TimerDifficultyMod[0]=8; Rookie
TimerDifficultyMod[1]=1; Veteran
TimerDifficultyMod[2]=0; Commander
TimerDifficultyMod[3]=0; Legendary

And thank you for the initial info, Kiva XD
