Finally got a soldier high enough to get the 5th squad member. That first VIP mission really hosed me up having to leave 3 motherfuckers behind being my highest soldiers at the time. Only the recruit got out. I really dont see snipers being good when you almost have to always be moving on legendary.

None of my saves are still there when I reload the game, and none of the settings changes stick. I have no folder for the game in the "My Games" folder. At one point I had set the default user files location to a different hard drive than C. Does anyone know how I could sort of point the game at the right folder?

Calling in sick for work tomorrow for this but I ended up getting a bit of playing time in tonight anyway: Also is anybody getting some FPS issues? I can more or less max out Witcher 3 and get close to 60 fps, but I try and max out this and get stuck with 30 or worse. Maybe this isn't quite as optimized.

Pwnstar posted:I added some more dumb poo poo if you so desire~ Thanks. These are great. I couldn't figure out how to get DefaultNameList.ini to work for adding dumb names, but it turns out that you have to go into XComGame.int and scroll all the way down to where the names are all categorized and enter new ones in there. I really hope I'm missing something with the DefaultNameList.ini because that is way too tedious to do for a joke this late at night. Maybe the namelist generator website will be updated for Xcom2 by tomorrow.

How are people finding squadsight this time around? In xcom 1 it was kind of godlike when you knew the map well enough to put your sniper up the best perch, has procedural generation, the faster pace or the pistol tree made that a much riskier proposition?

Having played the first three missions I can barely go on, after having played Long War beforehand this just feels like a regression in just about every way. Having to go back to tiny micro-squads, no red fog, no random rookie stats and manual class selection, hidden perk trees (that one is especially retarded), stupid panic mechanics, lovely Firaxis class balance, etc. is just painful. Customization gives you more options for props now but they also removed a bunch of non-English languages and the whole concealment mechanic seems like a gimmick more than anything, like it just lets you get off one nice engagement where you open up with an overwatch trap and that's it. I'm seriously tempted to just drop the game and wait for mods to fix all the Firaxis poo poo and turn this game into something playable, kinda like Long War turned the first game into what it should have been to begin with (except for the part where it made everything tedious and grindy). On that note, is there anywhere I can look up all the skill trees? Because I refuse to promote my guys until I have at least a rough idea for an overall build and seriously gently caress hidden skill trees.

im loving the game so far. i was worried the focus on timed missions would suck and make it hard to enjoy but i actually really love the way they're implemented. also some  events that happened to me today- missed a point blank shot at 95% on a lancer who then knocked the soldier unconscious and i forgot to bring a specialist that can revive them - managed to land an overwatch sniper shot on a pectoid from all the way across the map with a ~1% chance to hit -  also there's some FPS issues but nothing unplayable so far.

Do created characters just randomly show up when you scan for new rookies or whatever? Because I'm not seeing any show up, am I just doing something wrong or do I have to rely on luck of the draw to get my friends killed?

They show up as rookies, soldiers in the black market and HQ, and possibly as VIP targets if you checked that option.

Yeah my successful hit rate is running at about half of what it's displaying on average. I realize half the thread is going to call me a whiny gently caress for this, but seriously, something is UP with the hit percentages. I used all my grenades (of which I have 5, since one of my early promotions was a grenadier), and I set up flank shots and even go for one-hex attacks. My AAR listings like the above are LESS THAN HALF of my listed accuracies, which are about 74-84% since they're flanking shots. My Status Black AARs show me at 30-38% hit rates. I even had someone watching my stream, so I have a loving witness. He swore off buying the game after watching this nonsense. Yeah, yeah, and poo poo, but such close range attacks aren't even OG XCOM style. Even if you missed, the bullet trajectory would often hit in OG XCOM regardless of your 'miss'. This is some straight bullshit. I definitely feel like weapons need some close tweaking on close ranges right now. It is absolutely absurd that my rookie could flat miss and do no damage when DIRECTLY NEXT to an ADVENT trooper. Not even OG XCOM did this, so you can't defend this mechanic. If literally any other game pulled this, people would hate on it, for good reason.I was seriously hyped but right now I am super disgusted with the game. I honestly do not know what I am supposed to do. I've rerolled an early mission a half dozen times at this point because my soldiers seemingly cannot hit the broad side of a loving barn, and enemies outnumber and will suicide rush me because they apparently sense that my soldiers cannot hit the broad side of a loving barn.

Faceless are dicks. One trounced over to my soldiers, transformed, moved again, and then did the AOE attack (seems like way too many actions for one enemy turn, but maybe it falls under the melee rules and transforming is free). This somehow caused a nearby van to blow and kill two soldiers, one at full rookie-default HP. They had just gotten promotions, too...

drat they made Lancers the chrysalid equivalent in this one, huh. You basically have to beat at least one turn of full retreat to fight them (without flashbangs and the like), since they get a full dash attack and getting hit by one seems to cause panic in the rest of the party a lot of the time. I'm on Normal and I've basically hit a wall because Lancers are owning my poo poo. I'm way behind the curve

Coolguye posted:Yeah my successful hit rate is running at about half of what it's displaying on average. Do you have the tutorial enabled? On the first two or three missions I was getting something similar to this, with infuriating bullshit misses and a collection of really inopportune moments like two sectoids mind controlling two rookies in one turn, but after those everything seemed to go back to normal. I get the distinct impression that, whether it's 'under the hood' or not the game basically forces you to experience near squad wipes?  Now I'm about a dozen missions in, loving life because the doom clock doesn't start until after you're through the tutorial and getting some cool poo poo researched while I'm kickin' it in East Africa.

^^^I dunno, I had a near squad wipe during the second tutorial mission, the power core recovery, where I lost everyone but a single rookie who spec'd into Sharpshooter, then the next two missions I had after that I've gotten through with wounded but no casualties. Again though, I'm on Veteran so ymmv.Coolguye posted:Yeah my successful hit rate is running at about half of what it's displaying on average. What difficulty are you on? I'm starting out on Veteran which I don't know if there's behind the scenes RNG fuckery like EU/EW had on Normal to compensate but everything's seemed to be working as expected for me so far...I've had characters whiff on 60-70% shots and make clutch 40%< shots, nothing to the degree of what you're describing.

Dumb idiot question. How the hell do I tell what a soldier's (or enemy for that matter) status is? "Oh, that Advent captain or whatever marked me? Okay what does that do aside from put a glowing icon over the rookie... Uh..." EDIT: Aside from mousing over the tiny little red arrow by the name on the corner of the screen, while I'm at it? I was avoiding that because of how often that means I edge a bit too far and swing my camera way off base  (and was used to 'mouse over for other stats' from highlighting the much larger name itself).

I went ahead and made the first public XCOM mod. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=616324092&result=8 ACORG-47, the Corgi based firearm. Literally just took the gun example and threw in a rigged corgi model. I actually wanted to replace the Gremlin, but that proved to be an absolutely nightmare. There is zero scripting documentation, only a few PDFs outlining basic art pipelines and gameplay systems. It's annoying. Well at least people seem to be enjoying the ACORG.
