Hero Unit Missing in New Campaigns

Solved

I'm at my wit's end here, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I just built a new PC and moved my whole XCOM 2 setup over, and it's been a bit of a nightmare. Most of that isn't relevant, but this part is: my modlist has changed only very slightly, but when starting new campaigns, no hero unit joins the squad. The issue doesn't persist if I launch in vanilla, so it's obviously a mod problem, but I can't figure out what it would be.

Active Modlist is here (it's categorized): https://pastebin.com/F6BL1e3V

The problem persists whether or not I choose a starting faction. The game still registers that I start with them when I go to the Geoscape (the popup with the resistance orders shows), but no soldier is given in or after the first mission.

I've tried disabling a bunch of different mods to see if they might be the source, with no change, including:

  • Disabling the Covert Infiltration suite
  • Disabling Quicker Start
  • Disabling Multiple Faction Soldier Classes
  • Disabling More Faction Heroes Per Faction
  • Disabling Amalgamation: Faction Hero Classes
  • Disabling Recruit Multiple Heroes From All
  • Disabling Use My Class
  • Disabling Choose My Class

I've spent more than an hour flipping things on and off and starting new campaigns to check, and it's just been really frustrating. If anyone has any ideas, things to try, please tell me. Thanks.
