MisterBibs posted:It's certainly possible, but my memory is "Same glitch, different direction in difficulty" rather than listening to the grognards. Could be wrong. Nope, Zereth is correct. Difficulty actually works properly in TFTD, the devs just overcompensated because literally no one knew about the EU bug.

For the rest of the mission she was stuck in the grabbed animation and would just teleport around the map when moved and any action done by her would cause the game to freeze for 10 to 15 seconds.

Bladestorm nothing, Rangers in general just do loving weird poo poo. I recently had a ranger savagely stab an ADVENT Stun Lancer to death, which caused a car several blocks away to spontaneously explode. The next round, the Ranger got winged for one or two points of damage, causing her to instantly panic and run screaming for cover, despite the fact that she was a seasoned Colonel in power armour. e: I forgot to mention that she subsequently took it upon herself to loving annihilate a nearby ADVENT Officer with a massive shotgun critical, during the enemy turn, while still hyperventilating and babbling to herself in incoherent terror.

XCOM 2 chat? I had an annoying one. I like to put friends, family and co-workers in my XCOM games. XCOM 2 has the character creator, which is loving fantastic because it lets you make all the custom people you want, and then organically adds them into the recruit/reward lists while you play the campaign so you can gather an army of people you know. (Alternatively you can still just customise individual soldiers as you wish) Side Note: The character creator isn't perfect, as it will happily let me choose voices and armour types, and faces and accessories, but totally disregards whatever you chose for personality and armour colour/pattern. That you'll still have to change yourself once you have them in your base. So I'd moved my own personal avatar and my best friend up onto a roof to provide elevated support to the rest of the squad who was on the ground, moving to evac. An ADVENT mech reaction fired at me, hitting my for half my health and destroyed the roof (our ground) making us both fall 2 stories to the ground, taking fall damage. This made me drop to 1 health, and made my friend drop 2 health points (from full) due to the fall. I then watched helplessly as each action made by the rest of my squad (who had not yet done anything) completed - followed by the camera cutting away to my friend and removing another 2 health points. After moving and overwatching 3 other squad members, with each member resulting in my friend losing 2 health for each other members 1 action point used, he died. Meanwhile, my single HP character stood right next to him and shrugged off the fall like it ain't no thang. Another time during a resistance raid, I had a high level soldier up on a balcony get hit in one turn by a couple of lucky shots, bringing him to 3 health. I had 5 other full health squad members, so I figured he could just sit in overwatch at that location for the rest of the mission, safe and sound. 2 turns later he randomly and for no reason fell through the floor and died on impact. EDIT: This is especially annoying because your soldiers will happily drop from 3 stories up to the ground when ordered to move, but falling one floor will gently caress you right up. princecoo has a new favorite as of 05:01 on Feb 21, 2016 |

XCOM 2 bugs come in both odd and loving infuriating varieties. I just had the game decide that I was just flat out going to miss all overwatch shots from that point forward. Went through an entire mission missing every single one (even near point blank shotgun blasts which required model glitching to show). I just chalked it up to bad luck cause, hey,  . Next mission starts and same thing starts happening, now I get suspicious and create a new save to test it. Reload few times, trying different placements, combinations, and nothing works. Restart the game and sure enough overwatch starts resolving normally again like nothing was ever wrong.I'm beginning to suspect that something might be borked with the RNG itself which would really suck, though such a thing wouldn't be without precedent (RNGs can be surprisingly hard to code).

Might have been so that the balcony he was on was on fire. I know the game isn't the best at signaling which exact tile is on fire or how long until it breaks and I've had soldiers stand next to burning boxes acting as full cover and only become burning once they moved from that location. Fire is generally pretty weird, as it also likes to not show up anymore once you load your save during a mission.

How did XCOM2 end up so busted? I played a bitch-ton of XCOM from it's initial release in 2012 all the way through to last year, and never saw anything close to the amount of glitches posted on just these last 2 pages. From what I've played of XCOM2 so far, it doesn't seem to be so advanced from its predecessor that I'd expect all this wacky poo poo to be cropping up, especially since it wasn't designed for multi-platform this time around, and was delayed from a launch date from late last year.

Also XCOM 1 was busted as hell. Enemies teleporting around was an ongoing problem for ages, the game crashing meant that doing ironman was basically a fool's errand, and tons of other things.

Yeah enemy unknown was horribly buggy too. Which is forgivable, it's a real time game made in an engine notoriously bad at raytracing which accounts for all the line of sight and visual direction bugs you see. If XCOM was a turn based game made in an engine designed for shooters such as, say, Unreal, then it would be a different story.

Copper Vein posted:How did XCOM2 end up so busted? I remember that one of the thing they said when making either XCOM or EW was "We can't make procedurally generated maps, you won't believe how buggy that poo poo gets". Come XCOM 2 with procedurally generated maps (to a degree) and it's still buggy as heck, the fact that Ranges melee attacks destroy completely arbitraty pieces of terrain is due to precisely that. I guess time constrains were harsh even with the delay. Well the inevitable first expansion pack will surely adress a lot of these issues, just like Enemy Within did for the last game.

I guess a lot of it has to do with the fact that there isn't ready solutions for 3d grid-based turn-based games with destructible procedurally generated environment and pretty unique cover system (a guy behind a cover can see and be seen as if he also was in the square next to him). A bigger and more talented squad of programmers surely would have done better job, but it's probably much trickier than your standard FPS.

Hopefully with the increased modding support the game will eventually be more stable than XCOM:EU/EW was.

Speaking of XCOM, I was playing the Slingshot dlc and this happened. The Muton airdropped onto one of my squaddies and ended up standing directly on top of him. Thankfully, there's no Goomba stomp.
