lol, thats not great! The good thing about grenades are how they're guaranteed to hit. I'm not going to risk using Psi lance if I might miss, it's bad enough with the dodge mechanic (looking at you Codex).

Anyone know of an issue with infinite loading? I started a council mission and it wouldn't load. Now when I load the game it just stays at the load screen.

One dude earlier had a crash when starting the game and renaming his My Games/XCOM 2 folder fixed it. Might also work for you.
I think it's related to a cache or save thing, but haven't experienced it myself.
One thing, don't delete the My Games/XCOM 2 folder in case you want to restore anything.

It's gonna happen isn't it.....someones gonna mod out the vipers with snake girls huh
We have this..anything can happen now...
Also the games performance seems to be degrading for me...and it's starting to mess with my fun time with this awesome game.
Will prolly wait for a patch ;_;

I am beginning to think that it does have to do with the save. Do you know how to change the directory where it stores this information though? It defaulted to my HDD and I would like to move it to the SSD where the game is actually installed to.
It took me like 5 minutes just to load the geoscape/avenger and it took like 2 minutes just to get to the loading screen for the next mission and another 3-5 to get to the map itself.
Last night everything was running more or less smoothly although I did notice a little bit of delay.

I just took stress damage.
Probably some ini thing. The dude that renamed it could still access his saves, oddly enough.

Steam cloud must have redownloaded them then.

Oh, derp. That's a good explanation.
Even still, his crashing went away anyways which points to something else in the My Games/XCOM 2 folder being the culprit.

See artist Plague-of-Gripes.
If it's in steam, I'm under the impression you just uncheck its box.

It ended up working big time. Thanks for the suggestion. I copied and renamed the folder and just ran xcom. It redownloaded my saves automatically.
I did, however, have to copy/paste my character pool.... not sure how that worked out.
But most importantly the load time... of everything... even just starting the game has immensely increased.
I still am interested in moving the save game location but right now I'm just gonna play.
Fuck! this game really does not want me to play it.
Finally enjoying it and played for 3+ hours straight in a new campaign.
Came back after dinner and there are no saved games to load. WTF!
EDIT: thank god for one drive.
Checked my cloud storage and all my saves were in the trash bin with a deleted time of the exact moment I started the game again. Really weird.

So, avenger defense mission. Sent my girl, shadow behind enemy lines. At least 5 enemies shot her. All missed. She destroyed the alien thing and came back unharmed. I couldn't believe.
Same mission. Sniper, killzone set. Andromedon and archon crossed his sights. Both executed, one shoted, dead. Unbelievable.

Interesting. I wonder if everyone having loading problems would benefit from renaming the My Documents/XCOM 2 folder.
If you're willing, is there any file in there that stands out as especially large and/or numerous (old folder vs. new folder)? Might go a way in helping nail down what the heck it is causing the problem.
Aim and fire it? Yes; that's the whole point of it!
All grenade launchers really do is increase the radius and range of grenade throws.

Check if all mods are still enabled. Also changing the language settings prevent you from loading a savegame that was created in a different language (just in case you changed something).
Edit:
That edit...

I'm snowballing boys, snowballing. Legendary is still tense as always but if you can just get past the beginning things really start to snap into place. Getting the squad size upgrade first and some decent weapon attachments makes all the difference.
We're on to something here
Are you playing on Steel Man?

So, what do you think would be a fair balance for removing enemy dodge with a mod? Removing the aim bonus on veteran and commander? More health? Things do already feel a bit tanky on commander.
You're an awful person.
But yes, you can selectively disable DLC packages in Steam. Right-click the game, go to Properties, then the DLC tab and uncheck the Resistance Warrior Pack.
This will probably remove a few customization options along with the Guile hair and the survivor.

In the logs folder there were 16 backup launch logs...
Now there are none. That seems to be the only real difference between the two folders.
Is there any penalty for blowing off a Council mission?
"Commander, we'd like you go fight Andromedons and Sectopods to extract a VIP. You'll get a Scientist and a handful of Intel for it!"
I could do that, or I could grab the Supply Drop and get outfitted with all Plasma weapons and go blow up an alien facility, setting the Avatar Project back a tick. And get the Power Armor research done, which is just about to happen. So, any negative consequences of telling the gravely voiced man "Yeah... no."?

Having had no persistent issues, I have four backups and one primary log seemingly from my last session, plus a 97 MB crash log folder presumably due to my one CTD. The differences aren't too odd, I guess.
Thanks for the comparison!
The C/I run is going pretty well, but I decided to play it alongside a friend. So, I started a L/I run concurrently. I thought I was doing pretty decent but the last couple missions have been rough to say the least lol.
The dark event that increases recruit costs by 100% is going on now too so it's $80 per recruit right now -_-

Grenades man. Experimental grenades are the shit. Just get some aliens together and start whaling on them with flashbangs and whatever flavour of damaging grenades. Been consistantly having two+ grendeiers on squad because of it.
Acid grenades are a personal favourite. Especially when you hit aliens on top of a building and they start falling through the ceiling.

that final room is kind of ridiculous. i guess they made it so that there's a very real chance of losing some of your squad members at the final hour.
still, i succeeded thanks to an extremelylucky skillful shot from my executioner sniper on a full hp avatar, who sadly gave his life in defence of earth

I ran into some bugs as well. I restarted the game and then had little issue afterwards. The bugs were just visual glitches and pretty bad. Likely because of
the amount of enemy spawns.
Thanks. Just tried it on a big pod and looks like EMP's hit all of the following enemies:
MECs
Andromedon Shells
Sectopods
Codexes (Or are they Codices? Firaxis pls)
Gatekeepers
Andromedon Shells
Sectopods
Codexes (Or are they Codices? Firaxis pls)
Gatekeepers
My issue is I have
2 avatars left to kill but they're not appearing anywhere in this big area. I just killed the first one and now I sent a guy out to sprint to every corner and I can't find anyone else!
How many turns has it been since you've killed the first one? The avatars don't spawn all at once.
