Equipment display issue using XtraDeconstruct plus DLC Compatibility Files-1894-2-0g and its patch update from Nexus:
I have LH and all DLC, Steam version v2.0. This is not seen in the vanilla version.
If i check equipment then the stats from the detail screen stays overlain on the equipment. The equipment still can be interacted with.
Is seen with both Champion Bonanza and without (only other mod tried as recommended).
Tried re-validating files, put back in the mod, same issue, also seen on any champions recruited

EDIT FIXED using section H1. (UI\Optional) - XW_1920x1080_Primal found in A_UserGuide.txt as discussed in subsequent posts...
If your display resolution is equal or greater than 1920x1080, then read:
H1. (UI\Optional) - XW_1920x1080_Primal
If your display resolution is lower than 1920x1080, then read:
H10. (UI) - XW_UnitDetailsWnd
Both are found in A_UserGuide.txt
And welcome aboard.
Thank you , I'd never have guessed that was the problem. When I saw the words "optional" and "not required," in that section, my eyes glazed over..
ie
>>H1. (UI\Optional) - XW_1920x1080_Primal
As with most supplementary sections (Optional, Others, Modding), you are not required to do the changes set out here to play XtraDeconstruct.<<<
....it did not occur to me that not doing it would lead to the unit text displays overwriting another screen . I had no idea especially since I could not find anyone else discussing the issue. This section will be saved as part of the required mod install in my notes in case I have to reinstall the mod again.
Thanks again!!!
It's a technicality really: H1 is optional, H10 isn't, which is why they are labelled as they are. However, if you follow the steps in H1, then you can skip H10. In other words, H10 would have fixed your problem as well.
If you have a multiple display setup, then I would leave A_UserGuide.txt opened on one of them and read it in-between Seasons while playing LH w/ XtraDeconstruct. There's plenty of options you can tweak that are described in said guide and then there's the Modding sections (M#), the Troubleshooting sections (T#), and the Manual/Customization sections (X1/Z1).
"T2. (Others) - Troubleshooting, Known Issues, Knowledge Base, and FAQ", especially, should answer a few (many?) questions you might have.
"X1. (Hiergamenon) - XtraDeconstruct Manual" describes the conventions used in XtraDeconstruct as well as a few new concepts (Crafting, Pioneers & Logistics).
At any rate, glad I could help and enjoy!

BTW warning; Star Forged armor components are expensive; both for Champions and Units. However they are worth it. I'm currently concentrating research on improving my economy and prestige and reducing crystal costs.
Here's a pic of my current overall map:

You can see my "Wildling reservation" in the upper left corner here.
Yep, saw it on your minimap in previous pics. Figured you were going to win this game. Are you playing w/ Champion Plus Mod (Hunter's Sense)?
Currently I have 65 cities:
There are a few spots left where I can found new cities (2-4)
I think Primal redefines dedicated fan. Gotta try out the new changes. As a long time fan and player of fallen enchantress your hard work and dedication is much appreciated.
Well, time for a new game.
