Today I learned Psi with Fortress is immune to gatekeeper beams. Must troll every gatekeeper from now on!

Well that fix grenades being unusable too?
I said that glitch. Not all of the thousands.
...that is actually pretty crazy. I've already learned to provoke the Andromedons to always grenade my Fortress-ed Psi-Ops by putting them relatively close to each other and spreading out the others if I need to make some priority choices on what to take out first.
That is true. I remember my last playthrough I had a bit of trouble once I was inside the site, because I ran out of flashbangs and grenades. Granted, I was still pretty low level so I teched up to both Predator Armor and Mag weapons and retried it.
Then Mutons appeared :3 Mag weapons took them down fairly easily though.

So, something strange happened during the last mission.
The enemies coming out of the portals were not moving/shooting. It was a cakewalk.

So I'm stuck on a mission where I need to defend an asset from destruction because I can't help but go for my optional objective to
. It seems impossible to kill the
and complete the objective... Should I just do the mission without the skulljack and do that afterward on an easier mission? I typically do everything right away but this time it's rly hard to do.

The funny thing about this is that I was legit about to fix this and then I found this fix.
I'm actually curious at what the line was. IDK how to see code in XCOM 2's mods.
Yeah. Wait for a mission without a timer.

Enemies getting knocked unconscious by Berserker Blind Rage apparently crashes the game's AI. They don't do anything until you kill the unconscious unit.

23 hours in playing on Ironman and I believe I ran into a game breaking bug. I was (late game spoilers)
when I deployed my squad the screen shows a flickering "Alien Activity" icon and nothing happens. I let it sit for a while and nothing progressed. I restarted the game and I get the same error. Since this is IRONMAN I have no backup save. So I'm fucked.
Video games these days are a joke. I can't remember the last game that didn't launch a complete mess.

This first mission on legendary Ironman is driving me insane
The highest hit chance you can possibly get is 85% at point blank, flanked range. The regular flanked is about 78%. Out of the last 30 chances ive missed 25 (yes I counted)
All i want to do is get a good start rolling but its all dependent on this first mission...

Wait, WHAT.
Saturation Fire has been the bane of my Grenadiers this whole time? I've been thinking for so long that I fucked up positioning somewhere or there was a visual bug with fire I wasn't noticing but...
Firaxis, I've given you a free pass for all the other stuff, but something like this is ELEMENTARY.
They must have thought it was obvious. I mean, Saturation FIRE clearly is supposed to saturate your troops with fire, right?
Nothing beats shooting the floor out from under yourself during overwatch.

You guys think there's a patch coming soon? I mean this game has a ton of issues, and yet I was still enjoying it quite a bit.
Now that I ran into a game breaking bug and don't have a backup save I'm not sure what to do.

top men are working on it, top men.
sorry about your iron man save. I can only offer this advice which I have learned through the ages: honestman until other people discover whether or not iron man glitches won't completely fuck you up the arse
I do recall that the early hotfix solved the Chryssalid cocoon issue and it fixed saves that were stuck on that, so your run may not be a total loss, but whether whatever issue you're experiencing is tagged and/or a patch comes out in a timely fashion is a non-100% shot in XCOM 2 (ehehehe)
If you're partial to that campaign, you could make a backup of the save, but I'd just start over at this point.

Yeah starting over wouldn't be the WORST thing in the world. I could correct mistakes I made along the way.
I would go the Honestman (great name) route like Jintor suggested.

That moment when it is your first time in the final boss that you decided to go Ironman anyway and two on your squad die while you literally have no idea if you have to start the game all over again from the beginning if you fail this.
Nah.
If you fail it lets you either restart the mission or load a save at the beggining of your last turn.

Good to know, I thought I would have to clean the room out of every enemy too.

I'm trying to get the "beat the game before July" achievement, but I think an unfortunate Alien cypher (all intel costs doubled) dark event just fucked my chances.

Capnbub added gas masks.
Time to add the MGS Foxhound members to the character pool!
Amazing
Gameplay mods I am rolling:
More enemies.
Grenades that don't snap to the tiles.
Map packs.
No aim assist.
Quick start, which lets you skip the gatecrasher mission, because I have done that enough times for a lifetime already.
I think I'll start a commander playthorugh soon with those mods and will be streaming it.
Edit: Stream is up. Never streamed anything before in my life. Please be excited.

I'm only running more enemies mod and the mod that shows health as a number. I edited the ini files to start with 5 soldiers and that only took changing 2 numbers (one to start with 5 and 1 to make the mission selection screen show up to 7 slots).
I cut out the other mods because I think they were slowing down my load times, although I am not sure. Sometimes the game loads really slow, but 95% of the time it loads quite fast. Maybe after they patch I'll start loading up more mods.

Wait WHAT?
Losing an ironman run on the final mission due to the wrong person getting killed would make me throw the PC out of the window. And then burn it. And then give up all technology.
I got 25 installed on my Legendary run.
wow, i'm a killer

It was the same thing with XCOM EU iirc.
It's also true for the avenger defense mission btw. But when I chose to restart, my soldiers had lost abilities it seemed. And the UI wasn't showing them on the bottom left. So I ended up just starting a new run anyway.

Well, the way I see it, xcom is about the sum of its parts. You can fail individual missions and, of course, lose individual soldiers, but game over only really come when enough of those losses pile up.
The last mission exists too much out of this enviroment. I lost my special sunshine in the final fight due to a sequence of vipers continually pulling him back into horrible positions.
It's something I am ok losing a mission to, not the entire game.

Finishing up my ironman legend playthrough. Maybe I was bitching a bit too much about the early/mid game. Granted it was hard but I had much more fun then now (everything is teched up, best equip available, enough soldiers ranked up etc.). You can still lose if you're playing 'careless' but generally missions are too easy now and feel meaningless.

I'm on the final mission with 3 psi,
the commander's avatar, 2 andromedons and a gatekeeper, raising zombies as he goes. I think I've more units than the Advent and we're waltzing through with ease.
You were the MVP in my Commander/Ironman game, at least until Johancruijff and Sblargh were fully developed as Psi Gods.
Close to 90 kills as long-range Sharpshooter before the last mission, and a good chunk of the almost
60 aliens
You died in the second mission of the current Legendary run.
