XCOM V4: "Svinnik - Why is Shen's daughter asian, when Shen is black?" - Games

[QUOTE=JCDentonUNATCO;49732287]Grenadiers are by far the most useful class. I usually roll with at least half the squad as grenadiers. EMP grenades, acid grenades, incendiary grenades, plasma grenades, good shit. The state of the map after I'm done looks like a nuke went off.[/QUOTE] Yes! I'll typically train up my favourite sharpshooter and specialist or something, and spare rookies I don't intend to train up I'll just turn into grenadiers, because a squaddie with two long range increased blast grenades is better than a squaddie with one.

Damn it, when ever I start the game it makes it to the title menu for about five seconds and crashes. Anyone have any idea what to do? [editline]13th February 2016[/editline] Verified the game cache and I was missing thirteen files. Fixing it now

[QUOTE=Ruh-roh;49732289]So my game decided to bug out on the very last mission First every turn took 2 minutes to actually take their actions (a pressage of things to come) and finally when i overwatched with my Specialist nothing happened at all and no one had turns. No option to save and exit in the menu, no success trying to use the End Turn button, i literally stared at the screen for half an hour listening to the bg music waiting for miracle that never came Clearly the strongest counterattack from aliens so far: by forcing me to not play, ADVENT wins Dark Project: Performance Problems made another commander fall. Don't play Ironman yet boys. Honestman will save some years of your life.[/QUOTE] Does this work for you? [t]http://i.imgur.com/O3V4bYl.png[/t] Win+R and paste %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\XCOM2\XComGame\SaveData\ and select OK. Then find your save game, right click on Properties, and find that tab and revert to a latest version of the same save.

[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;49730748]What happens when you fail or ignore retaliation missions? Is it like EU where you can't make contact with that country anymore?[/QUOTE] You lose contact with the country and the money income/whatever bonus they give you. Doesn't seem to be any cooldown on being able to just contact them again though. Pretty sure you could just exploit it to free up contact slots so you can chase down blacksites instead. I accidently did that when more civilians died than I could save, really helped me get a blacksite and save my ass from the doom timer

How do I research a better sniper rifle? My sniper has had his Gauss Rifle for a long time and I can't seem to find an upgrade

So whats the suggest difficulty to play on in xcom 2 . I remember in enemy unknown everything under classic you eventually just facerolled everything.

Man, the performance issues this game has when you're inside the avenger are pretty hilarioius, I have no idea how they managed to fuck it up so bad. I'm getting around 40-60 fps in missions maxed out without MSAA, but in the avenger I'm dropping into the twenties. Also the VRAM usage just continues to grow absurdly high as you build more and more facilities, now I'm in the late game with almost all slots filled and it's already over 5GB :v:

Have no idea why it's suddenly started happening. I don't think it's due to mods but honestly I don't know.

Forgive me if I'm just being too dumb here, but how do I equip more acid grenades? I can only equip one, it seems.

Who should I put the wraith suit on?

[QUOTE=Im Crimson;49732858]Forgive me if I'm just being too dumb here, but how do I equip more acid grenades? I can only equip one, it seems.[/QUOTE] Put them on a grenadier who has the extra nade skill. Are you trying to put them on multiple soldiers but you only have one acid nade? If so, you'll need to do more experimental grenade research in the proving ground and hope that you get another one. [editline]13th February 2016[/editline] Is the defense matrix even worth building? I have only 1 slot left on the avenger and there's no other buildings I need right now. Do you get any new building types towards the end of the game that are more useful?

It doesn't unlock it for production??

Is there suppose to be a 3 or so second delay after doing an action? [editline]13th February 2016[/editline] Is it a glitch or something [editline]13th February 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=pebkac;49732740]Man, the performance issues this game has when you're inside the avenger are pretty hilarioius, I have no idea how they managed to fuck it up so bad.

Its crazy

[QUOTE=Im Crimson;49732934]Okay, so researching experimental grenade only gives you one? It doesn't unlock it for production??[/QUOTE] Yep, it's kind of weird because the game never tells you how many of each item you'll get when you build something. When you build standard weapons or armor, you can equip as many as you want, with inventory items you only get one. Gets even more confusing when some of the armors are actually items that take up an inventory slot to give your soldier some bonuses. With all the experimental items you can only build one at a time, and no, once you have one it isn't unlocked for production.

[QUOTE=SonicHitman;49732460]that's really cool only one problem, yella isn't dark toned at all compared to the rest of them. he has more of a hispanic color if anything.

This is the lightest he can be without changing his race. [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25802995/ShareX/2016/02/2016-02-13_10-18-49.png[/img]

[QUOTE=General;49732866]Who should I put the wraith suit on?[/QUOTE] I think it works best on rangers. Although it got me out of a pinch on my psi op when a building collapsed and she got stuck in the geometry.

I don't know if anyone needs this but anyway, I like playing on my TV and the native controller support is kinda wonky so I setup a more hacky solution for it. If you want to play with a controller then try this out. [url]http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/XCOM_2#Xbox_360_Controller[/url] I would've made a better image to showcase the control scheme but I really didn't have the time to do something better. If the right bumper feels too finicky I could set it to something else. [t]http://i.imgur.com/ktsz2vB.png[/t]
