Players can also opt into the new “Zip Mode” option by pausing the game at any time and activating it under gameplay options. This patch introduces new fixes, balance tweaks, and several performance optimizations in the game that should improve framerates and in-game delays overall. If it doesn’t install automatically, restart Steam. Our Alec has given me "free reign to say I was a dumbo for whining yesterday" but no, I agree - it was silly for Firaxis to talk excitedly about DLC before the game was fixed.The first major patch for XCOM 2 is live! This patch will automatically install when starting the Steam client. While the majority of mods will operate in harmony with the patch, some mods may conflict with patch updates and will need to be updated to take advantage of the patch improvements." After the restart, the game will have initialized the patch to work with mods. "If you have mods enabled after installing the patch, launch it once, close the game, and launch it again. But if you're using mods, be aware of this: Firaxis have reworked Graze hits too.Īaand you'll also find bug fixes and crash fixes and exploit fixes and loads of other stuff. The Wet Work combat tactic, which boosts XP earned from kills, no longer applies retroactively so veterans won't get a big boost when you purchase the upgrade. On the balance side, Firaxis are making the Mimic Beacon - a hugely powerful item - less powerful by increasing the price of buying 'em and by making it so, when deployed, the mimics can't take cover and will always be hit when enemies shoot at them. You'll find plenty of tweaks aimed at improving performance, a combination of technical fixes and settings changes like reducing the resolution of high-resolution shadows. This 400MB download is "the first major patch", Firaxis say, and the patch notes make it look that way. If you are someone who had bigger problems. The new 'Zip Mode', which trims a lot of the dramatic pauses and delays in combat, sounds great. Even as one of the lucky folks who hasn't had many problems with XCOM 2 (I mean, aside from when I had the final mission turn into a colourful glitch-o-rama), I'm glad to see some of these changes. Firaxis have released a big ole patch for XCOM 2, aiming to improve everything from performance to balance.
