Turn down some settings? :p

Get 60fps at 1440 on a single 970 by removing MSAA, DOF and SSAO

Ill get them back on when SLI profile appears :D

Where the game is turn based you don't really need 60fps.

I am quite happy playing the game @2160p maxed on a single card.:)
 
Mine's bugged now :/

Some of those items on floor to pick up i walked into zone and it normally picks up automatically but didn't, theres a 'search' icon at bottom that does nothing, char has no moves left and i cant proceed *crys*

Oh I have played a fair bit of Enemy Within on a laptop that barely gets 25fps :p on minimum but I'd still rather turn AA down from 8xMSAA than sit on 19fps at 4K :p
 
Getting bored now tbh. Deaths are much cheaper than the previous game. It just isn't fun when the game can suddenly decide to wipe a few of your squad out of nowhere.
 
As soon as there's a mod to stop dropped items expiring, I'm installing it. It's like their whole design philosophy was "Make people rush!"

It was. So that people didn't overwatch camp.

I dislike the Avatar mechanic more than anything else, i spent my first game tidying up africa and the game just throws investigation after investigation at you.
I did the blacksite, which is super easy which reduced the Avatar, then the random dark event happened that boosted the avatar progress by 2.......

Eventually i decided to see what happens with it, got to the clock countdown, opened up western europe got the message from bradford that i can do the blacksite there....but could i? no...game wouldn't let me click it on.

Yay!

Tbh, I am a bit too.

I talked about Rise of the Tombraider the other day and how it just made me want to binge play it and how many other games I own havent given me that feeling. Xcom 2 is proving to be a game of that ilk, its not pulling me in.

Now...I am going to say something which will no doubt result in me getting a tumult of angry yelling but........

It feels like an Xcom 1 Mod to me rather than a whole new title.

*braces himself for anger*

I was so looking forward to Xcom2, really really looking forward to it. Maybe I was looking forward to it too much but currently, I am a little disappointed.
 
Finding the same stumbling block as others most likely. That Avatar clock ticks up very quick. By the time I realised what was going on, tried to branch out to the regions with the bases to reduce the clock. But of course you need to up your resistance comms network, which meant digging away to make space.

As a result about 10 hours of playing, kept same save going but been tethering on edge of losing fluctuating between 1-3 steps from losing. Fun times :D
 
You could try changing the difficultly to rookie when back at base. Should slow down the Avatar progress & make other things cheaper and builds faster.

Just remember to change it back before a mission. Might affect achievements though.

And if anyone has a PS4 controller, Input Mapper works a treat if you want to use the controller instead of a keyboard+mouse.

Spend 5min mapping the in-game keys to the controller & you're off n running.
 
People moaned about the UI and controls in the last game, but there's no reason they couldn't easily have integrated XBOX controller support in to this as it hasn't changed much at all.

Playing it with the steam controller makes doing anything twice as long as it should.

By the way - Anyone having problems with things seemingly taking ages - Verify your game files on steam. I unlocked on VPN early and loads of stuff wasn't working. It downloaded 2 files (11mb) and fixed all the problems I had.
 
Enjoying it so far, but finding some things damn frustrating.
Just had a mission where I left my entire squad in overwatch in good positions. Fire a shot with my sniper and graze one of the Snake things, it heads towards my crew. They all overwatch and miss.... It then poisons and binds one of my stronger guys, then another guy runs half way across the map with a stun stick and kills one of my guys.

Was a serious wtf moment! No way of countering something like that!
