XCOM General - /xcg/

this, there's no difference and the game already does it

>got used to play with lots of mods
>now i have to give up most of them for LW2

oh the pain

>Best helmet
>Actually will move the skyranger to evac troops
>Only xcom/x-com pilot to have to deal with alien controlled airspace
Reminder that Firebrand is the best x-com/xcom skyranger pilot period.

>the game already does it

how do i fix the camera stuck under the avenger glitch after a mission?

remove any of those avenger random button mods

>"Light" enemy activity
>4 squads all in range of eachother
>Trigger one trigger them all
I hate this fucking game

Exit game completely and reload the latest save, hopefully right before extract.

How do I fix squads being stuck "infiltrating" or "on mission" long after their missions have been completed in LW2? I've reinstalled the game and the mod, and LW2 is the only mod I'm using this time but I still get the issue on a fresh campaign.

>avenger random button
i dont have any

[Grazed] 1!

>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I just know its a avenger menu mod that causes that bug

>POINT BLANK, NO COVER DODGES

So can you not flashbang already disoriented enemies to remove their overwatch in LW2?

Not necessarily, I'm playing pure Long Wang and I'm getting the same bug non-stop. No other mods have ever even been installed.

Sounds like an oversight, but on the bright side it's virtually impossible for a disoriented overwatch to actually hit anything.

Some people are reporting that if you remove Anarchy's Children, it fixes the issue.

...

only terrorists support the xcom project. we should all fall in line with our alien friends

Completely exit the game and reload the latest save. If you don't actually exit you'll get it again.

I've just been making a manual save right before the mission ends to fix this shit when it happens, so you don't have to replay the final turn or anything.

...

>best helmet
i really want a mod that redoes that helmet to have a variety of variants including a battledamaged version

...

dont save, alt f4 on the spot and reload. so many people get this bug whey cant they fix it

you say that...

Where can i find the Long War 2 manual?

Fucking vorefags

At least it kind of makes sense for snakes. The human vorefags are far worse.

That's a nice op. I only lost one civie because of the shoot on activation mechanic. Technicals and Shinobis really shine when you get into those very claustrophobic close contact situations.

how human fit past snayyk humanoid collerbone and ribcage?

why humans so tiny, or maybe snayyk is big???

I've only beaten the base X2 game on veteran/ironman. Should I do a commander run before moving to LW2 or should I just jump right into it?

Sounds about right.

Bones could be a flexible cartilage.

Definitely get a commander campaign under your belt imo

Why would a mod that doesn't alter the .exe need a crack?

Long Dong has a check for a legitimate copy. Won't work if its not.

Straight into long war, bone dry with no protection. Embrace the suffering, this is XCOM.

That is what I would tell you, but actually wait a week or two for mod compatibility and bugfixes to catch up.

Has anyone made a Quake Guy character to be a Ranger?

yeah I'll probably go for a commander campaign for a few weeks then give lw a shot

How do I get rid of timers for LW2?

>virtually impossible
Being XCOM that means it's about 50/50, but that's still up from 100%.

LWOverhaul.ini in its mod folder

Thanks family, have a meme.

how hard do sectopods hit for? I've played 2 campaigns and theyre so scary i've never let one shoot at me

What are required ass mods? I already miranda squadmate and the Siege 6 armor and I can't go back to vanilla flat-assed female legs.
Pic unrelated I just like this squad.

well they can shoot twice and also have this giant death ray thing

>evacuate haven
>first turn 8enemies run at me
>2turns later 8 more warp in
>they kill all but one of the people I need to extract through fucking walls (why is this not fixed still)

>finally get everyone within dashing distance of the evac zone
>move first soldier onto it
>no option
>only the fucking resistance recruiters can evac there
>evac fucking leaves and signals they'll be coming back in 4 turns
>mfw
Ten people entered six came out alive, two being carried in crit. I fucking hate you firebrand you stupid cunt.

out of 10 people

Is it possible to do a "rescue resistance contacts" missions solo?

700h LW1
never playd Xcom2
about to start LW2 blind

what should I know?

Yes.

That you should play x com 2 vanilla.

Should intel and recruiting be your priorities in the beginning?

play xcom 2 vanilla you dummy

...

...

If it wasn't fetish related this would be a cool boss enemy. Imagine the tail taking up multiple spaces behind the main "unit" which is just the humanoid part of the snake.

They shoot twice and due to the nature of how they work will almost always hit you. They also tend to crit alot. At the end of their turn will usually use their last move setting up a cone-based death ray beam that will fire next turn. Get the fuck out of the way it is highly likely anyone caught in will be 1 shot.

>every longwar 2 mission ends with wave after wave of aliumns teleporting on top of you for 9 turns
...

its too boring i had to stop after a couple hours

youre supposed to evac

you get xp from missions more than enemies now

gl with lw2 if you found vanilla boring then retard lmao

your fault for not calling evac sooner dunkass

Being a cool boss and being fetish related aren't mutually exclusive.

Viper Queen when

I completed the mission and called in an evac after I realized the enemies were dead.

First a normal transport showed up with 4 soldiers and a drone.

Then 10+ aliumns would teleport 5 feet away from me.
I had to wait 9 turns before I could evac. Am I supposed to call for evac 8 turns before I complete the objective?

tbqh different guy but i found xcom 2 vanilla to feel like shit and so far long war 2 feels pretty decent

Feeling like "shit" and being "boring" are two different things.
Fundamentally LW2 is a lot slower and less action packed, which is great in its own way.

Hey guys I wanna play XCOM real bad especially now that Long War is out. HOWEVER it runs like dogshit for me, especially in the menus. It's playable but truly a struggle. Any advice on optimizing?

>Steam deleted all my mods and now is redownloading all of them
>trying to update mod to work for long dong 2
>can't even get it to build so i can test it
>now i have to wait for it to finish downloading hundreds of mods to even try again
>inb4 it deletes them all again for no reason

I'm fucking triggered.

yeah that's fair, so who knows if that fella will like LW2 but there certainly is at least some precedent for enjoying it when you found vanilla borderline unplayable.

>Am I supposed to call for evac 8 turns before I complete the objective?\
You're supposed to do it the same turn you're revealed. The only reason to not put down an evac site immediately is it breaks concealment.

why? Why not make firebrand arrive in 2 turns? Its silly.

>when the mission is on a small map

because it makes you have to plan ahead?

Do this:
steamcommunity.com/app/200510/discussions/0/846960628563773260
in XCOMEngine.ini in documents/my games/xcom2/xcomgame/config
Turn AO off or on Tile AO. Don't use MSAA. Turn of DoF not just because its a performance hit but because its a fucking cancer effect.

>when the enemy is swarming on a small map

It can, it depends on what you took on the mission, ADVENT's preparedness, and the threat level of the mission. Generally, the less you take and the lower their preparedness, the faster you can go. I've seen 1-turn evacs on Legend, it definitely shouldn't be taking you 9 turns.

She should have power over electricity, that way she'd be pretty electrifying.

Thanks senpai. I'll give it a go.

I'm supersized you're able to reply with the developer's cock so down your throat
Ah! Thanks for the info. Yes I didn't wait to infiltrate and I see how that would change a lot of factors.

Evac Timer is reduced by higher infiltration %
If you went in their balls deep to a Heavy enemy force its going to take forever.

>When you accidentally blow up the EVAC zone with a rocket and it gets moved across the map

How do I fix resistance HQ not appearing on the geoscape map? I can adjust resistance tasks through the menu, but I can't fly my Avenger there. Mousing over the radio mast symbol zooms the map to the arctic ocean, north of the Bering Strait, which I'm guessing is map origin or something.
It happened once, and I redid Gatecrasher, only to have it happen again. I can waste three days scanning for the black market, but after that, I can no longer pass time because there's nowhere for the Avenger to go.

>Ah! Thanks for the info. Yes I didn't wait to infiltrate and I see how that would change a lot of factors.
Don't fucking do that shit. Infiltration is basically the biggest thing you need to be doing. Always go with the smallest squad you can reasonably get away with (for certain missions, a two man team is best). Always infiltrate as much as you can. Don't think about it like normal X2, where you jam the A-Team every mission, LW2 is far more subtle and complex.

>I'm supersized

How do you do a mission with a 2 man group?

>Remember, this is a sneaking mission

Stealth and running a lot.

Basically, shinobi/specialist for hacks/jailbreaks and shinobi/sniper for kill the VIP missions. You use the shinobi to scout out pods and move around them while you use the specialist/sniper as a mission expert who does their thing. You toss an evac the turn you go loud/hack the objective and leg it the fuck out of there. If you killed an enemy, YOU DID IT WRONG.

Solid snaking and delaying tactics. Make sure you have 15+ mobility and only attempt it on Very light and below

I don't know, i can do the whole sneaking thing but by the end when you have to call in firebrand it just gets fucked, my 3 guys can't survive 3 pods of ayys shooting at them for 4 turns.

Titanfall ports have only 2 legs for the females, but they both have a nice ass.
