Warnings

The macOS (OS X) version of this game does not work on macOS Catalina (version 10.15) or later due to the removal of support for 32-bit-only apps.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a singleplayer and multiplayer bird's-eye view strategy game in the X-COM series.

The game suffers from an abundance of bugs, some being game-breaking as of 2012.^[2]

Save game data location

Linux	$XDG_DATA_HOME/feral-interactive/XCOM/savedata/ $XDG_DATA_HOME/feral-interactive/XCOM/XEW/savedata/

Savegames will start appearing in the wrong order once there are around 100.

Having too many savegames can cause slowdowns, which can be fixed by regularly purging them.

Savegames are game localization specific. Hence they are not usable if language is switched after campaign start.

If savegames are not showing when starting the game in Linux after playing it in Windows, go to the savegames location in Linux and change the name of the folder SaveData to savedata.

Modifications

Skip Launcher

Skips over the launch window that asks whether to play Enemy Unknown or Enemy Within, defaulting to playing Enemy Within.

UPKUtils (and PatcherGUI)

Collection of windows console utilities to read/patch UPK files.

Page also hosts PatcherGUI, a tool to install and maintain modifications for XCOM: Enemy Unknown and Enemy Within.

If you are only modding your game, you do not need UPKUtils. PatcherGUI contains all files from UPKUtils necessary for mods, the majority of mods referring to UPKUtils as a requirement are actually referring to PatcherGUI.

Long War Mod Manager

Utility to simplify the installation and removal mods for the Long War overhaul mod.

If you are using this, you do not need PatcherGUI. This utility contains the latest PatcherGUI code already.

XCOM Interface and Gameplay Tweaks

A collection of small interface and gameplay tweaks (no disappearing corpses, Overwatch and Hunker Down delay, adjust soldier gender probability, XP and mobility display, abductions in countries with satellite coverage, etc.)

Requires PatcherGUI or Long War Mod Manager to install.

XCOM Camera Tweaks

A collection of camera tweaks (camera zoom level, min and max zoom, free aiming zoom, rocket aiming zoom and yaw angle).

Some tweaks can lead to weird camera movement and glitching on specific maps.

Requires PatcherGUI or Long War Mod Manager to install.

UI Mod Manager

Adds in-game menu which allows for turning on/off mutator-based mods as well as setting their options without the need to fiddle with .ini files.

Works with any XCOM version (EW, Long War, etc.)

XCOM Mini Mods (EW and LW)

A collection of mutator-based mods for Enemy Within and Long War (sort soldier lists, have button "Make Items Available" anytime, inject meld to cut healing time, clear perks and respec a soldier, Scout Sense, Shadow Step, New Sequential Overwatch, etc.)

Requires UI Mod Manager and PatcherGUI/Long War Mod Manager to install.

X-COM Map Patches

Countless map bug fixes for vanilla XCOM Enemy Within and Long War.

Long War

Overhaul mod that features over 700 distinct changes in gameplay from vanilla gameplay to create a far longer and more intense conflict with the aliens.

Has it's own wiki page on UFOpaedia with a complete breakdown of all changes made.

Notes

↑ XCOM:Enemy Within DLC adds one additional option, Toggle Overhead Camera, default binding is O.
↑ Soldiers' Language option is only available when playing XCOM:Enemy Within DLC.
↑ For some reason XComGame internally returns the arguments value with an extra ". Double quotes are a reserved character in all Windows file systems, so every CreateFile call fails.
