It's not supposed to crash your system m8, but if you have errors, that's bad.

Any specific cores?

Have you run memtest? See if you get errors on that, if so, go through every combination of RAM sticks in your system and see if there are any combinations that do not produce errors.

Also triple check your cpu voltage, memory voltage, and memory timings. I don't trust those goddamn "auto-(de-)overclocking" bios things to set them right.

okay thanks for the help. also i closed prime95 but as far as i can remember it was 8 first, then 6 and 5.

Can't hurt to run it multiple times and see if you get the same pattern of errors.

Hopefully it's memory. Otherwise you're in for a new upgrade of your motherboard and chip.

>Bradford will never be femdomed by sneks
>C-Close Range!

I want the cuckolds to leave

I really hope it's memory. I put most of my budget into the motherboard and cpu.

I'll run prime95 again and memtest later tonight. Thanks again for the help.

I've got a 92% slash that might save a life, but, if it misses, the ranger is ded as fuck.
Do I take it?

>92%
if it fails then jake hates you, whatever

Thanks for the pic user. Have some OC.

you miss 100% of the shots you don't take

It worked.

The ranger still died because she blew up the cover with the slash.

Saved.

Best of luck. Hope it's not something big either.

One other thing I thought of: go into your bios and monitor the voltage you're getting from your power supply to your chip and your memory. Make sure it's consistent. I've never seen a power supply fail but it could happen.

Another god damn bloodbath

i...i think i'm done with xcom for the day. first i get train fucked and now this garbage.

I feel you

That's XCOM baby!

They didn't bother to give you a repair estimate on the SPARK? wtf?

>protecting relays after andros are introduced
>ever
I mean, I do feel sorry but it's kinda your fault.

I-I did it lads
I got through the first month of Legend with only 2 casualties
I can feel the RNG deciding to buttfuck me in the bussy again, please send help ;_;

>two bobs in one mission

scandalous

i hadn't had any andros before and wasn't expecting them at all. i heard the sectopod moving around but didn't know there was an andro until i got to the relay. i knew i was fucked the second i saw it.

Are you using cheats? Andros should appear a month or two before seeing the first sectopod.

it was the first time i had seen a sectopod on this playthrough too. only stuff i'm using is QOL and the long war mods.

Post Blacksites!

I've had sectopods appear before andros in vanilla before now. Sometimes RNG just decides to have non spawn even when they could and puts a sectopod in at the earliest possible moment.

nice

Seems I've misplaced my Blacksite pic.
Can I post comfy snek instead?

only if you post some real comfy snek

Are there any mods that add a clothing set that make your soldiers like they walked off the set of some modern war film?

...

Heartwarming, that.

So comfy!
She's so relaxed you could almost mistake her for dead.

Rate

Shitty toaster /10

is that kai leng

I think not created equal was a mistake to use as now that I am T3 armor and T3 weapons I feel unstoppables even with better advent pods + and shit.

Are you using Second Wave reborn or whatever?

Oh wait, right I forgot my savegame got corrupted so now I have to start over GG.

Yeah second wave remastered. On the one hand I really do like it to introduce more of a variety in your units so 2 grenadiers are never the same - even if you give them different abilities or they get a different GTS perk.

On the other hand endgame on that broken save I had rangers (LW) with something like 90-100 basic aim + 20 superior scope + 17-20 PCD whatever it's called.

I'll prob run with it again because it was really only GG no RE at the endgame and that always happens. Up until then it was tough but managable

>Savegame works again

Neat. Does ABA work with the new LW aliens?

This is a message to all you autists out there: live your dreams and you too can be on the national news.

>Up until then it was tough but managable
Really? I tried it once, but squaddies with 8 health and 70% flanking crit were a major turn-off.
Either way, I want to suggest using LW Toolbox for its second wave options, but I'm sure Lump isn't planning on fixing the damn Shaken bug.

Yes, get All The Enemies.

Well my bad I was meaning to post

Try out epigenetics as well with second wave reborn.

Now, not even your enemies are the same.

I'm playing Xcom 2 with the longwar toolbox mod, plus aba, aba all the enemies, and LW perks and LW ayys. I've got squad size set to six base, eight max. I just bought the first squad size up, but once I deploy I can't use the 7th member of my squad. I can select them manually, but tab and shift skip over them. When I select them manually they have no move range displayed and can't move if I tell them to move to a tile I'm sure they can reach. Anybody else have this problem?

Thanks. And I'm more of a scrub so I've also scaled up the campaign as I play (Did the first campaign without any cheets). So I started off with no pod increase on 4 squaddies, went with it on 5-6 squaddies, went to pod+ on 7-8 squaddies.

I'll try that too, thanks.

Using the toolbox as well, no such problem.
I still have the values modified in game inis and the fix for the UI shitting itself with more than six members.
Try doing the same?

Try clearing your xcom config folder in my documents and restart the game to repopulate it.

So, just like delete everything out of the config folder? I'm a fucking retard, please spoonfeed me.

>LW Mecs as SPARKs mod
>classes don't get Shredder

Well that's pretty disappointing.

What other classes in there are good? I want to make a third SPARK. First one was a standard one and second one is a Goliath, who I'm feeling a bit underwhelmed with as I didn't really get a chance to test his tanking and his offensive is balls.

you know for as much as long war and x2 sometimes kick my dick in i can't help but fucking love these games.

C:\Documents\My Games\XCOM2\XComGame\Config
Delete the whole folder

launch the game

it will say "Unable to determine which mods were enabled"

enable your mods and click play

Gotcha, thanks.

I thought all SPARK weapons had shredder by default.

Can't go wrong with a Jaeger.

>concealed insertion
>spot double muton + codex pod
>move soldier in position behind heavy cover
>"smells familiar"

I... what?

You ain't ever smell an ambush before son? I know Jake has.

JAEGER IS NUUUUTS

Also, the Valk is pretty ok. Light 'em Up is always solid to have.

SNEK

YES

Full Jetpack Tech mod when?

Whoah whoah user, don't be too hasty

Pokemon in XCOM when

I'm happy, but at the same time the reminder that there's no variation of free aim, even against only cover, saddened me. Wonder how difficult it would be to have such a mod

...

>tfw you trigger another pod every time you go for a flank

>Destroying snek's rock and tree
Behead XSCUM.

No, behead ADVENT and the Elders!

No shit?
You do realize that when you trigger a pod, they always take cover in such a way that if you get too close you trigger another one, right?
Use a scout, you can clearly see that they "retreat" toward another squad.

Of course it's Australia.

We've been fighting Chryssalids for decades. All the aliens did was make them bigger.

god damn it

tome for him to spent some time in the AWC

Think those should stack. That's... a lot of defense. Could be a lot worse (where's Dense Smoke user?). Also, I rolled Squadsight from AWC recently. On a Sharpshooter. Talk about fucking useless. That soldier was so shit, he died in combat. Fucking Advent Prime Battle Captains, being bullshit.

time
god damn it

>Using cheats to change your hidden ability
SHAME.

>implying retraining is cheating

you cant change the hidden ability with the AWC
unless you mod it to
but he can retrain him and pick any other perk but tac sense at Major to avoid having repeats

Had the same thing happen. My assault picked Aggression, and later on the AWC gave him Aggression. Sadly it didn't stack, oh what could've been...

Anyone else having X2 completely shit the bed. Everything was fine before I decided to get the LW alien pack and now all my game runs at 13fps and missions run in Piccolo Space.

/xcg/, I've recently been informed that the Cost Based Ability Colors mod for X2 is responsible for a great deal of slowdown on the geoscape. However, the mod is great and makes the tactical game far more enjoyable to play. Therefore, I come to you and ask if anyone here has a replacement mod that is worth having.

So, does /xcg/ have a replacement for Cost Based Ability Colors? Or, failing that, does anyone have a fix for it so that it doesn't ruin the geoscape?

Bradford is based. He doesn't even need silly arm gadgets, he just materializes missiles from his arm whenever he needs to.

Snek sucks
