Is the tutorial worth playing if I played EU/EW/LW?
I want to start on an Iron Man run but you can't do that if you use the tutorial
>>130945102
Mine missed the first and only time I used it.
>>130944861
Turned down the AA and filtering. help a bit. Maybe 980 just ain't good anymore for maximum settings.
But it feels like a game like this should not demand more than a high fidelity 1st person shooter.

An anon was unable to play xcom earlier today because some women decided to squat in his house and he could do nothing about it legally. I hope the next earthquake causes you lot to fall into the sea.
I sure regret living in a country with metered & throttled internet usage tonight boys. The preload took 4 hours and now this launch update. It's cut 60 hours of netflix watching off my monthly data allowance from the state sponsored monopoly.

Any reason to play the tutorial at all? Like story stuff?
You can't enable it on legend for some raisin.

advent troopers
>>130946590
pretty sure it's troopers
>>130946590
I think basic advent trooper.
Pro tip: turn your shadows down. Went from 30 FPS to 60 on medium with an i5-3570k and HD 7870 by dropping shadows to directional.
too excited to sleep too tired to concentrate
>>130946590
Advent something, probably troopers
You rip out their eyes
>>130946608
Too late, skipped it. I'll play it sometime. Want to spoil me?
So EU/EWwas all just a simulation in the Commander's head?
>tfw sectoid runs out of psychic shit to pull on me and just crits a rookie in the face
I didnt even know this game was coming out until like a week ago
And i cant play it until tomorrow because i gotta wake up early
Holy fuck im excited
>>130946783
Your first run in EU/EW was what happened.After you savescummed the first time because you lost, everything else is simulation that happens in your mind
>assault gets torn out of cover and pulled like 20 feet by a viper he just missed an 82% on

nevermind, apparently i have to go into engineering instead of canceling it form the screen itself
>>130946783
maybe, but one of the ethereals in the last mission states that they have stopped you in a similar situation before.

What? Calling bullshit
even commiefornia isn't that fucked
A mod for XCOM 2 that grants you the ability to stay undetected, even while in sight of enemies, if you're in cover.
Half cover grants you a 50% chance to remain undetected, while full cover grants a 90% chance to remain undetected.
Leaving cover while you're still in sphere-of-sight will activate the pod you're hiding from
>>130947432
go google defraggler and grab that. Run it, please, for the good of your hard drive, unless it is a ssd, then it will break it. If it is a normal hdd, you need to run some defraging software regularly.
>hack the planet!
Anyone know who the veteran of the first war is from the resistance warrior pack? I may just be blind
It's time.
can you still get achievements if you mod the game???
>>130947682
this does not seem to be the problem
>>130947821
Yes you can was confirmed by the devs on twitter
I can't believe how badly optimized this game is.
>>130947027
With you there man. I get to the launcher and hit play, then nothing. It clearly tries to run, but then just quietly dies without so much as a crash message.
>>130947881
Lower your AA you faggot.
>>130947541
Why? Sound stupidly easy, there a class that does that anyway, pretty much, so an in entire squad would just be stupid. May as well get cheat engine or something and set the game on easy.
It don't even make sense if you go behind a fucking pillar and don't come out the other side then you are behind the fucking pillar you ain't Houdini. At this point you may as well just delete the AI file and just be done with it.
HOW DO I REMOVE THIS FUCKING TURN TIMER?

I'm curious as to how far someone could get in EW with a two month time limit in place.

Wait
I just realized
was firaxis making shit up with the replay feature?
there's nothing here
made a my2k account and there's still nothing
>>130949129
Did you get the extra assets one? You only get replay and all that stuff with developer mode.
>Use two monitors
>Mouse doesn't lock into the program
Why
A mod for XCOM 2 that makes all enemies aware of your presence as soon as your squad's spawned
anyone else getting incredibly laggy cutscenes? gameplay is fine but the cutscenes are like 3 fps for me
I hate close calls.
>>130949239

This menu looks fucking weird. Is it supposed to have a bunch of debug shit on the main menu? I feel like that's not right.
>>130949298
It wasn't, but turning it off and on again apparently worked.
>>130949463
They are literally captured and there is a chance to rescue them in VIP missions.
>>130949404
The Long War dev ones?
>Steam Workshop support
Take a wild guess.
>>130949285
That isn't even close. You look like you had a turn to spare. I had to literally run people under overwatch fire to get to the evac zone at the last turn to evac.
Fyi, you can use both your movements land on the evac zone and still call for evac.
>>130949483

So stun lancers can ko you for a whole fucking mission?
>people complaining about slow ubpacking
>>130949502
Hey, answer me. Seriously.
>>130949982
It's not your CPU. It's the shit optimization. I have an i5 2500K at 4.9 and it still chugs on certain parts. The optimization is total trash.
In the Avenger screen, my game keeps scrolling all the way to the right hand side of the map and getting stuck there (as if I were holding down D or had the mouse pointer all the way over) regardless of other inputs
It doesn't happen in tactical and I've tried unplugging all my peripherals, so it's not a stuck key. Does anyone else have this problem?
>>130949717
Stuttering badly?
Xcom EU/EW had an issue with stuttering that I personally had, which was related to using mobile tethering.
Bridging networks is how to fix it.

Is this worth to buy at launch or are there any glaring launch issues?

No glaring issues except the game just drops frames for no apparent reason.

Do you have to retrain soldiers to get the Advanced Warfare Centre benefits for a soldier, or are the upgrades only automatic for all future promotions?
FUCK STUN LANCERS FUCK STUN LANCERS
Anyone playing with the Long War team's mods?
Should I give the game a playthrough with no mods first?
>>130950503
*huge* preformance issues. If you have a lower end computer you really should just wait.
Bradford is ready to be a MEC.
>>130950431
At least it fucking works m8
I'm still troubleshooting why it crashes right after clicking Play in the launcher
So my AI is broken. They stopped attacking on a terror mission and now they just don't attack, don't react, don't do anything but die.
>>130950456
I think the very early game is set up to just be unbelievably brutal. Enemies kill you in 1 shot, you can only guaranteed kill advent 4hp minions in 1 shot while you might get lucky with others, your aim is shit.
Just getting Predator armor and magnetic weapons and now I can one shot enemies and have the HP of an advent commander.
>>130950640
Did you download the SDK?
>Rush Gauss weapons

>>130949701
Did the stream just end like that?

Are you playing the most recent version of Long War? You shouldn't be having ayyloy problems unless you are being a pussy with missions.
>>130950796
NM, reloading the game fixes it it. I'd recommend reloading the game if the performance suddenly tanks really hard, as I am betting there is memory leaks
Still keepin it post terror mission & another with retarded AI since it gave me enough to buy dem gauss.
