Identifying aliens by sound is a skill that comes with playtime. It should be noted though that disguised faceless do not make any noises, and non-disguised faceless can only show up on advent-spy ambushes in havens (later in the game). Likewise, I also don't THINK chrysallids make noises, except wh...

I'm wiping all XCOM 2 files off my machine.... Right off the top of my head, if you're getting a load error loading a save game, either a game file or the save is likely corrupted and the game can't finish and has recognised it. Can you load any other save? I'd keep the save and remove and reinstal...

Welp. It's a few days later. I went ahead and validated my game cache, nothing seemed to require updating though. Loaded up the mission again and insta-crashed a few seconds after loading. Finally decided to restart the mission entirely just in case that save was corrupted; got a few turns in and......

Good gods I've crashed eight times tonight on a single mission (data tap). It's like the more I try and push through the crashes, the more the game crashes. I seriously hope I've not somehow corrupted my save... I wish these crash reports told me anything informative. What do I even do with this inf...

Yeah, I suspect Kill Zone is a red herring and this is actually the bug regarding pod behavior when their pod leader is panicked in a concealment-breaking ambush. Any overwatch shot would have failed to go off.

I recall there being a bug where if you flamethrower-ambush a pod to break concealment and you panic the pod leader, the pod 'scampers' before the game registers that you broke concealment, and thus you don't get reaction fire on the pod because you're 'still concealed.' I also have this vague recol...

I appreciate the transparency, thanks! Keep doin' awesome things and keep us posted when there's something to post!

If you equip a skulljack the chances for override get very good.

Hi everyone! So I've been watching xwynns play legend as if he's playing on rookie difficulty and I'm not a fan of exploiting the game. I'm throwing it out there and wondering if there's a chance anyone would be able to throw together a mod to edit 1) LW2's burning to just having a massive debuff t...

That sounds hilarious and terrifying. Air-dropped heavy automated mechanized weapon platforms... good god.

All of my classes wear a primary color (which is also their weapon color) with a secondary color based on their specialization. For example, straight-up combat Rangers have a black secondary color, close-combat-oriented Rangers get an orange secondary color, and overwatch Rangers get a white seconda...

Ahem.

So I decided I wanted to heavily customize the AWC for my campaign. Why? For the hell of it. :lol: Alas, my current platform of choice is OS X, so I can't access the developer tools and write this as any kind of mod... though I'm sure if I did, I'd get backlash for it being wildly overpowered. Still...

With such a title it will probably have something to do with that "other" enemy even the Ethreals seem to fear. I don't think Firaxis will go TFTD thought, especially now that Phoenix Point is around the corner. It would probably make more sense to stay pure SciFi and leave the Chtulu-Sci...

Will LW2 be compatible with the now annouced expansion ? I think you're probably jumping, like, three sharks. There is no announced expansion, Firaxis isn't doing their announcement of whatever it is until the 12th, and I guarantee you if Pavonis knows anything about what the mysterious announcemen...

No, soldier liaisons add 5% to recruitment per soldier rank, officer has no effect on that. I'm not understanding the '5% (per rank)' part of that statement. So if you have a squaddie in a 0 rebel region, does that mean there's a 5% chance per Some Time Period to recruit someone (then further dice ...

First off, I want to preface this thread: this is perhaps somewhat of a rant, but I only do so in the interest of sparking a conversation. I'm not here to call names or shittalk Pavonis or Firaxis, and I hope no one takes this as an opportunity to do so themselves. Having said that... :? I don't thi...

So, is this the right understanding of the current Solace bug? That's approximately accurate, yes. The only thing I don't know for sure is what happens to the ability descriptions after the abilities are learned. Though it wouldn't surprise me if that's true, that the old Solace no longer has local...

No, both versions of the ability are available as of both 1.3 and 1.4. The only real way of knowing is to read the text of the ability in the training menu.

Which version of Solace caused this bug? You may know that currently Psi Ops still sometimes roll the old version of Solace (because the game still has it as a prerequisite for Bastion) despite there being a new version of the ability since the 1.3 patch.

I would like some of the useless grenade perks and Infighter to be removed, because they're stupid dead ends and you end up not caring about those soldiers' training But other then that I like the design as it is. Quick study has been a fun new twist XComLW_AWCPack.ini is your friend. You'll notice...

Some of your points can be done by editing INI files (ergo you can "do it yourself"). Not all of them, but many. I've been doing some of my own AWC tinkering, and once I have my 'preferred' setup working, I'll probably publish what I did on the forums. - I can't find an INI file that edits...

If Advent has a 30% chance to hit you, it means all their rolls in the 20-30 range are grazes. If you turn the graze band down, all those shots become full hits. So it's not at all surprising that you're taking more wounds. From what I understand, if ADVENT has a 30% chance to hit you, it means all...
