Some guy was shitposting about how shit Xcom2 was and how much better EU was compared to it.

So he got counter shitposted with people responding to him saying that Xcom2 was good game and that he didn't have arguments.

Well, in my opinion, that you didn't ask for, overall Xcom2 is better than EU, sure the strategy layer is more dumbed down, but that's the only thing it does worse than EU. Everything else is better.

And either way, it's one thing to criticize the game(which has always been done in these threads) is an entirely different thing to shitpost for 8 hours about how it's unforgivably shit and everyone is wrong for having fun with it.

Some missions, like VIP rescue, are usually really tight on the clock though. You just don't know what kind of bullshit you're going to run into so the best bet is to go as fast as possible.

>>144900076
Blacksite or just ADVENT facilities? Either way the answer is always.

>>144900178
That has not been my experience. Often when I dash often as possible and blue move every turn while trying to clear pods I barely make it to evac in time.

I couldn't really imagine slowing down for a turn because unpredictable mishaps could lead to the entire squad being left behind.
You telling me to play faster by playing slower then i already play.

If you aren't using this mod

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=618077830

Then you're literally playing the game wrong(as Jake intended).

>>144901020
>not using a mod that adjusts the timers so that you can only make it to the EVAC by dashing every soldier every turn

>>144900394
Depends on the rescue, ones where you start with the VIP are alright, ones where you don't are normally really tight.

>>144900461
For standard "kill all" Guerilla ops you should have at least a 3 turn buffer, pushing up next to something thats about to explode will simply slow you down. For straight to Evac missions you should also have the buffer, for pick up the VIP missions running tight is about right

>>144901020
True concealment is dumb, Advent know you're there.

Guys
>kill an enemy pod

?????

>>144901342
Nice idea.

>>144901020
>https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=618077830
Its a cool mod but makes balance tricky for a vanilla campaign.

>>144901172
>pushing up next to something thats about to explode
Who said anything about that? The original anon declared they took cover behind a car, and I am responding to the statement "never take cover behind a car." Its certainly something to consider, but perfect missions are often not a thing. I'm glad your missions run so smoothly.

>>144901342
But why

>>144901342
I would prefer EU/EW/LW style nodes you can hit to get more time, maybe a portable radar truck for evac timers or a network box for data data download ones.

>>144901569
I presume thats what you meant by slowing down, sure some missions will go tits up but you should still never take cover behind an in tact car.

>>144901172

>True concealment is dumb, Advent know you're there.

I think it achieves the perfect balance between timers and not having timers, the other alternative i could think of is increasing the timers but that feels more like cheating to me.

>>144901797
>Wanting EW bomb missions back

Are you insane?

>>144902192
If you're struggling with timers its the best mod to use as its the least cheaty one but its still dumb imho.

I liked bomb defusal missions unless it was the meat warehouse/rainy street map in LW, fuck that so hard, but ideally they'd just be one or two nodes rather than EW style where you have to hit most of the nodes

I tried a longer campaign one on the workshop but enemies progressed too slow, your main squad ended being gods without much effort on your part if you survived a few hours.

Preferably one that plays nice with A Better ADVENT and other enemy mods.

I prefer to one-shot codexes with a sniper rifle

Why the assault rifle? If they're just going to be using their pistol at medium-short ranges anyways, might as well have the sniper for targets beyond pistol range.

Dude who was asking about "Kill Zone" being broken here:

Someone asked to see my mod list a day or two ago. Sorry I didn't deliver at the time, got hammered at work and passed out when I got home.

Here are the mods I'm currently running. I tried adding the Killzone Unleashed mod to see if that helped, but they're missing just as much as ever.
I'm now at 114 missed shots with Kill Zone.

I've tried it with half a dozen snipers so it's not just one team member that's having an issue. They're missing shots that have every accuracy mod I know of - high ground, class skills, tracer rounds, superior Aim PCS etc. - on flanked targets.

>>144933497

Shit anon thats rough, literally 20 minutes ago I had a sniper kill 6 ayys in a double pod activation with kill zone so there's definitely something breaking your game.

>>144933497
Have you tried the pasta fix?

Having problems? Try going to My Games/XCOM2/XComGame/Config and deleting everything inside (if you have the uniform manager mod, then delete everything except XComUniforms.ini). Now verify your cache.

If you still have issues look for mods that might be in conflict (the alternative launcher in the OP should show any conflicts).

Still having problems? Wanna try a longshot? Make a backup of your saves, character pool, and uniforms (if you have them/care). Then delete My Games/XCOM2. This is something of a long shot, but it has worked in the past.

>>144933497
When exactly did you start noticing the issue? (date, time, region)

>>144936802
No, so far I've only tracked the shots/misses and tried adding the Kill Zone Unleashed mod to see if that made any difference.

>>144936923
>date, time, region

In game? Fuck if I know. IRL, three days ago.

>>144937163
>In game? Fuck if I know. IRL, three days ago.
Ha, yeah I meant in real life. Honestly looking that that list, Killzone Unleashed looks the most suspicious. Released recently, almost no feedback, and updated recently on June 7th as well.

Though I would have to think you may have thought of that already, but just in case...

question, whats the mod that makes it so during vip missions you dont have a timer but you have to leave before advent overruns you?

>>144937532
You mean Guerilla War? It does that for almost every mission.

>>144937596
alright thanks i will be checking it out

>>144937448
I tried using it to see if it made any changes to the issues I was already having. I missed something like 72 shots before trying it with that mod. So I'm pretty sure that's not the problem.

>>144938649
Try verifying your cache to see if that fixes it. If it doesn't I recommend following the fix pasta. I found that it fixes about 95% of problems.

>>144933497
>>144933646
Hey anon, I'm the guy who asked!

1) First of all, having that many unused mods is known to cause issues if you've ever had them active at any point, better to manually unsubscribe via steam. XCOM2 is funny like that, it keeps them "kind of" on. I don't THINK that's what's causing your issue specifically, but do it for good measure.

2) After that definitely do the fix-everything pasta this guy suggested >>144936802, I don't know how many times it's saved my ass.

3) I think you said you installed Killzone Unleashed after you started encountering the issue, but do some testing without it if you got it before those misses started popping up.

4) I looked all over your modlist for any other mods which could in some way impact Killzone, but didn't find any except AWC Cost & Other Fixes, but it's a long shot that that would be the cause.

5) After trying all these, if it still doesn't work try it on a new campaign and see if it is any different.

What you should also do if nothing at all works and you just want to test is create a sniper with 999 aim or something then let him have a go, see if he still misses.

also why did 4chan rip for three hours?

>>144957457

>>144957457
Thanks for the tips. Right now I'm working on >>144955761 and trying to figure out why the Workshop is such a bitch to work with when trying to create and organize lists.

>>144957760
You could character pool 'em all if they're on Tier 1 armor, otherwise it's going to be a bit of a bitch. Once you've saved them all, go into your character pool and save them into a single importable pool. Then go to (usually) this directory depending on where you put your documents C:\Users\your-username\Documents\My Games\XCOM2\XComGame\CharacterPool\Importable\ and back your importable pool up.

Reinstall and there you go. I'm not even sure you have to do this, as character pools seem to be kept when you uninstall via Steam. Same with saves.

>>144957962
Will give it a shot, thanks again. They're using armor from a variety of mods and all.

I think I may have fucked my game, geoscape lag and deleting config didn't do anything o fix it.

>>144958190
No biggie, a lot of /xcg/ have broken their games so many times that by now troubleshooting XCOM2 is second nature.

Consensus is that geoscape lag is caused by certain conflicting mods, so uninstalling all of your redundant/unused ones is probably your best bet.

Also, I just realized that it's definitely worth trying it without EU Aim Rolls with the Killzone thing. It's a long shot, but hey.

>>144958451
Good point, that might have done it because I installed that part way through my game and only noticed it being an issue then. I hope not, because I love that mod.

>>144958451
PS: If I uninstall XCOM2, should I just delete all my folders? If I uninstall via Steam, will it remember what mods I was subscribed to?

>>144959083
The uninstall process should be to first do it via right clicking and choosing delete local content from steam library, then removing any leftovers in [steam dir]/steamapps/common/xcom2

It will remember all your subscriptions, tested it. Trying that theory out was a nervous moment.

>>144959239
I sure hope you didn't take that risk on my behalf lol

>>144959635
Actually did it earlier when I was having a super-weird issue causing crashes out of nowhere, so I did a pure reinstall and all my subscriptions were still there.

Just in case anybody else has ever had spooky crashes with zero information in any crash log and no discernible error message beyond "application has crashed", after two months it turned out it was my CPU overclock the whole time. XCOM2 didn't agree with it.

Not crashing, pausing, or in any way being impaired, simply switches from XCOM to desktop. It's like the game has decided I've played enough and alt-tabbing out for me.

It's fine, until the later game UNLESS you are doing well. If you are struggling, or just doing alright, you get enough landed larges to bring that elerium in, but if you are doing well then you get fucked.

Not that guy but how do you do this?

>>144980104
You do actually save all the mod files - if you're quick enough in starting the reinstall, anyway. That's what happened for me. If you want to be extra sure find \steamapps\workshop\content\268500 and back up the contents. After reinstalling just drop the contents of your backup folder back in that directory.

I'm not telling anybody to not post Overwatch/XCOM2 crossover ideas, that shit is quality posting. I'm saying "I played a match as D.va and this happened" is off-topic and I don't want it to swallow this general.
