Hey there fags! In light of the recent announcement of XCOM 2, many of you poorfags, myself included, remembered they never finished their now non-canon (or maybe not, if you suck enough!) playthrough of the Long War.
Many of you are also autists like me who had both pirated it yet cannot live without playing the most recent version of something, only to find any and all torrents were from hella old versions and thus didn't work, and to boot missed that sweet sale that happened with the announcement.
Alas, after many questions and pleas for help gone unanswered, I have found the way to do it! And in true, selfless fashion, I shall teach you the dance of the poorfag.
First, grab this:
https://thepiratebay.gd/torrent/9185034/XCOM_Enemy_Within-RELOADED
Any Enemy Within copy you have lying around will actually do, but I've only tested with Reloaded copies so I'm going with that to be sure.
Now, this:
https://thepiratebay.gd/torrent/10165467/XCom_EW_Modded_Long_war_Pack
Grab the update rar and drop it into the Enemy Within/XEW folder, and overwrite everything. For the crack, since this is a badly translated updated pack from a russian site, it's badly explained, but there are three versions - he says it's one for each type of processor but I couldn't make sense of it.
For my case, an i5, the first one worked just fine. Drag and drop to Enemy Within/XEW/Binaries/Win32. Overwrite as needed.
(For you folks with iffy antiviruses, it might detect a false positive on steam_api.dll - feel free to test it to your hearts' desire, but if you pirate a lot of vidya you should be used to this file causing trouble with these types of programs.)
Now, ignore the Long War setup that comes with it Post too long. Click here to view the full text.
