Anybody else getting crashes when loading autosaves? I get a black screen with only my soldiers' health bars visible and then it just dies.

When I launch a new game the ADVENT icon pops up on my screen and then the game crashes. Any ideas?

Oh poo poo, the aliens discovered the ultimate weapon.

I play on the 2nd difficulty level because I'm a huge pussy, and I'm still getting my rear end whipped on the retaliation missions. With the 1 civie death per turn, you get 7 turns to kill all the aliens, and that just doesn't seem to be enough.

On the plus side though, the penalty for failing them isn't poo poo anymore. Oh no, I have to make contact with the region again. I'm set back all of 5 days.

Apparently saving with a burrowed Chryssalid will make it impossible to load the save. The more you know.

Is it just me, or is Bradford a little cross-eyed?

Really, I could do without MECs over again. A big, clunky dude in over-engineered power armor is fun, but fits in much less with a covert resistance movement and fast-paced missions. Now, upgrading people like with MELD, but instead with implanted electronics... that I could find interesting.

New class is a houndmaster with a cyborg dog.

Ok I tried everything I could think of, I still can't get the key mappings to persist across sessions :( I can't believe this is still a problem in a 2016 game that uses Unreal Engine.

Anyway, I'm about to start a new campaign with the DLCs. Never did that before. Is there something I should know?

The alien rulers are very hard.

Beagle seems ... troubled? I dunno, glad he can afford to ditch stuff he doesn't like doing though.

This is one of the most bullshit with a capital hosed things I've ever seen. Three Avatar pips in less than a day?

Haha, did that dude lose an 83-hour long war 2 campaign in like 2 minutes on the strategic layer?

My god, the latest Beagle video where he spends 6 turns on a 14-turn timer taking 10% shots whittling down a muton in full cover while his twitch chat melts down calling him an idiot is loving hilarious.

Was he right? Did he have 6 turns to spare somehow?

Yeah, easily

yeah, he was totally right to do it too. what a crazy modlist.

I like this "skills on weapons" thing he's got going to make it more like OG xcom. That squad wipe was a loving disaster though. It seems like the Chosen really amplify his choice to double the pod sizes.

Based on that mission and the Blacksite he either needs more aoe, more rookies, or stronger perks, tbh. The Advent MECs were merciless

I'm not positive, but I think he's using a mod that makes the composition of the pods harder, so you get fewer cannon fodder guys. It fucks him super hard in the video today because he's facing pods that aren't only doubled in size, they're mostly MECs and berzerkers and poo poo.

Will beagle eventually release the modlist? Anyone know?

I think it's more than a modlist. He tweaks like how much armor certain aliens get and stuff like that

The Beagle campaign is a blast. He's got these mods tuned in to the point where it seems just barely not impossible. Barely.

Been playing EW Long War for the first time, and I just hit what I think was my first "trap" UFO. Pretty sure I'm still in early game (maybe late early game), but it had 2 cyberdisks in one pod, a mechtoid (1st of the campaign), and a berserker (1st of the game).

I think the worst part of it though is all the pods charging you when they hear a fight. Does that become a fixture later or is it just trap UFO behavior?

Did any of you try Lamplighter's League? I think it had a kind of rough launch if I remember correctly, but then I never heard a word about it again.

Thank you, that was the game I have been trying to think of when this X-Com-like conversation started. I remember watching a couple of streams of it last year, and it looked pretty cool, but apparently, it's been out for months and zilch.
