It's not supposed to crash your system m8, but if you have errors, that's bad.

Any specific cores?

Have you run memtest? See if you get errors on that, if so, go through every combination of RAM sticks in your system and see if there are any combinations that do not produce errors.

Also triple check your cpu voltage, memory voltage, and memory timings. I don't trust those goddamn "auto-(de-)overclocking" bios things to set them right.

>>151306928
okay thanks for the help. also i closed prime95 but as far as i can remember it was 8 first, then 6 and 5.

>>151308257
Can't hurt to run it multiple times and see if you get the same pattern of errors.

Hopefully it's memory. Otherwise you're in for a new upgrade of your motherboard and chip.

One other thing I thought of: go into your bios and monitor the voltage you're getting from your power supply to your chip and your memory. Make sure it's consistent. I've never seen a power supply fail but it could happen.

>>151316780

Yeah second wave remastered. On the one hand I really do like it to introduce more of a variety in your units so 2 grenadiers are never the same - even if you give them different abilities or they get a different GTS perk.

On the other hand endgame on that broken save I had rangers (LW) with something like 90-100 basic aim + 20 superior scope + 17-20 PCD whatever it's called.

I'll prob run with it again because it was really only GG no RE at the endgame and that always happens. Up until then it was tough but managable

Well my bad I was meaning to post

Try out epigenetics as well with second wave reborn.

Now, not even your enemies are the same.

I'm playing Xcom 2 with the longwar toolbox mod, plus aba, aba all the enemies, and LW perks and LW ayys. I've got squad size set to six base, eight max. I just bought the first squad size up, but once I deploy I can't use the 7th member of my squad. I can select them manually, but tab and shift skip over them. When I select them manually they have no move range displayed and can't move if I tell them to move to a tile I'm sure they can reach. Anybody else have this problem?

>>151318109

Thanks. And I'm more of a scrub so I've also scaled up the campaign as I play (Did the first campaign without any cheets). So I started off with no pod increase on 4 squaddies, went with it on 5-6 squaddies, went to pod+ on 7-8 squaddies.

>>151318257

I'll try that too, thanks.

>>151318280
Using the toolbox as well, no such problem.
I still have the values modified in game inis and the fix for the UI shitting itself with more than six members.
Try doing the same?

You do realize that when you trigger a pod, they always take cover in such a way that if you get too close you trigger another one, right?

Anyone else having X2 completely shit the bed. Everything was fine before I decided to get the LW alien pack and now all my game runs at 13fps and missions run in Piccolo Space.

/xcg/, I've recently been informed that the Cost Based Ability Colors mod for X2 is responsible for a great deal of slowdown on the geoscape. However, the mod is great and makes the tactical game far more enjoyable to play. Therefore, I come to you and ask if anyone here has a replacement mod that is worth having.

So, does /xcg/ have a replacement for Cost Based Ability Colors? Or, failing that, does anyone have a fix for it so that it doesn't ruin the geoscape?

Imported Bradford.
You can import him in your character pool and have him show up as a normal soldier to train as you wish.
Funnily enough, that means you can end up with double Bradford in that mission.

>>151344961
>Tomorrow I'll try to figure out if it's possible to have a squad full of Bradfords.
Probably. If you set your game to be Character Pool only soldiers and you start the game with nothing in the pool except Bradford, won't it just spawn him multiple times? Alternatively, you can import him into the pool more than once, so you can do it that way too.

>>151345989
I'm pretty sure it fills out the roster with random characters if you don't have enough premade ones in the pool.

>>151346961
Maybe creating a squad's worth of Bradfords with minor changes would do the trick.

>>151345989
>nothing in the pool except Brad
Doesn't work.
I use a pretty small pool of soldiers and among the initial batch of rookies there was a random soldier, plus a couple randoms available for recruiting.
This is with forced pool spawns, so unless someone figures out how to force multiple spawns for the same character, it won't work.
But yes, was thinking about importing it multiple times. Although props customization is restricted for him, I believe I saw options for Ink and Paint.
Need to give it a try, but giving him a tattoo or some other invisible or covered prop should make the engine think they're different characters, although they are visually the same.

I ran prime95 two more times and bluescreened once and crashed my computer the way i described earlier once. Errors in #6, 4, 8, and 2 in that order. 8 and 2 were actually 100 warnings and not errors. It didnt last long before my computer crashed. I tried running XCOM 2 again and it worked but everything was flashing blue pink and green. This happened to me once before when I was on the final mission, only a month or so after I built my computer this past December. Running memtest now, about 50% and no errors yet. One of my friends is concerned that my cpu melted something earlier when I was using the shitty stock fan that came with it. If that guy from earlier is still here, more help would be greatly appreciated.

So you crashed and bluescreened while running prime95? You are not alone in getting piccolo/daily dose syndrome in the final mission, but the fact that you're crashing indicates something more serious.

memtest is going to take a while, do you have 2x4gb sticks of RAM or 4x2gb sticks?

Tell us what voltages and timings you are running, your chip model, mobo model, RAM model, etc.

If you can be without a CPU for a few weeks (sorry!) and you're in warranty (they're usually 3 years or so), see if you can call up their tech support, tell them you've run prime95 and found errors but memtest found no errors. They will most likely issue you an RMA and exchange it for a new chip.

>>151360803
thanks. I'll do that as soon as possible. Really hope it isn't my motherboard. It would be cheaper to replace, but it would be hell to switch them out.

Does the Long Dong Ayy pack for XCOM2 improve alium AI at all, or should I look into an AI improvement mod as well?

>tfw your house randomly loses power for no reason but you have a UPS
feels fucking good, man.

>>151360932
Wait, you said you built in December, so you're definitely still in warranty, right?

Let's try this first. Disable the cores that you saw were causing errors in prime95 with this: http://solidlystated.com/software/how-to-disable-a-cpu-core/
Try running XCOM 2 again. Yeah, you'll probably have to turn your settings down a bit, but try to torture test it and see if you can get it to crash. General objective being to have as much information before you call your chip manufacturer support line up and say, 'hey, you gave me a shit chip'. Even if you were overclocking, there's no way a chip should fail inside a year unless you were running it at 100C or some shit.

>>151361825

Knowing nothing about how AI works in Xcom2, i'm going to take a wild guess and assume that the Long Dong ayys do have improved AI, but the mod probably doesn't change the AI of the vanilla Ayys.

>>151361869
I'll do that then thanks.

Pretty sure I'm still on warranty for my CPU but I don't think I even got a warranty for my motherboard. Really hope it's not my motherboard.

>>151361897
Yeah, that's probably a good assumption. Thanks, senpai.

>>151362128
>>151361897
I can't say for myself but one of my friends who is using the mod is pretty sure this is true.

So I ran another prime95 to see which cores were having problems, just to be sure exactly which ones to disable, and now it's been like 15 minutes and I still havent gotten any errors. The fan is getting pretty fucking loud though.

...did it fall off the back of a truck?

My friend had a nightmare build with random crashes similar to what you're describing. The chip manufacturer did conclude it was their problem and offered to replace it, but rather than be without a computer for 3 weeks he opted to replace the whole system, so we never conclusively determined what was the issue.

Haha, he just did search for his old CPU model that caused him so much trouble and it came up with users having all kinds of errors. Was supposed to be a 4Ghz ultimate chip, etc. etc. I think they cut some corners.

Oh shit. ...I just showed him the google search of your CPU and he started laughing hysterically. That's the chip that fucked him. Suspicion rising...

>>151362812

To add to this question, I pretty much just want an extra Advent soldier or two per pod. I just think it's a bit more immersive for there to be plenty of them accompanying various pods, even alien heavy ones. I love mowing down foot soldiers too. I think it would be good justification for increasing my squad size via the LW toolbox. Would this be possible by simply altering the DefaultMissions.ini? Again, I'm using the ayy pack.

>>151367803

I don't think IESS would "conflict" with the ayy pack, but i don't think it's being updated anymore, so you should look for an alternative.

There's an A Better Advent module that increases pod sizes, maybe that'll work.

So are there no shotgun upgrades in vanilla EW? I've researched almost everything so unless they're down some obscure branch of the tech tree I have no fucking idea.

>>151368325
vanilla EW?
i am pretty sure there is the "scatter laser" thats the laser version of the shotgun
and then there is the alloy cannon, which isnt really plasma but its the equivalent tier 3 shotgun

>>151368516
The alloy cannon's description made it sound like a MEC weapon. I'll have to check that out once I get the supplies, I'm a bit short on fragments from shotgunning wew other research to try and find the shotguns.

>>151368930
I dont understand how you could miss the scatter laser, it just comes with Precision Lasers and is there in engineering waiting to be built. Alloy Cannon is a separate research though

>>151368274
Yeah, I think I saw that, but aren't any ABA modules useless without the base ABA mod? Because I vastly prefer the ayy pack.

This is annoying, I didn't figure getting am extra measly advent or two per pod would be an issue.

How are you supposed to have fun on Legend?

Imagine being XCOM in that shootout and having to be all like "damn, Sectoid, you fuckin' fine, all sexy with your tight body and horrific human-spliced monster face. I would totally shoot you, both my avatar and the real me." when all he really wants to do is crit another Outsider in his UFO. Like seriously imagine having to be XCOM and not only stand in that cover while Sectoid flaunts it's disgusting body in front of you, the favorable lighting barely concealing it's malnutrition and pink fleshy skin, and just stand there, mission after mission, missed shot after missed shot, while it perfected that psi-panic. Not only having to tolerate it's monstrous fucking visage but it's haughty attitude as everyone at Mission Control tells it it's STILL GOT IT and DAMN, Sectoid LOOKS LIKE *THAT*?? because they're not the ones who have to stand there and watch it's veiny fucking burn-victim face contort into types of grimaces you didn't even know existed before the invasion. You've been killing nothing but a healthy diet of Mutons and Heavy Floaters and later alleged inconvenient civilians for your ENTIRE CAMPAIGN coming straight out of the barracks in HQ. You've never even seen anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the sweat that's breaking out on it's slimy convex stomach as it sucks it in to writhe it suggestively at you, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to succumb to it's "mind control(for that is what it calls it, not bullshit)" mind control, the mind control it worked so hard for with the Ethereals in the previous experiments. And then Bradford tells you to "get in there and rescue those civilians", and you know you could kill every single ayy on the battlefield before the reinforcements could arrive, but you stand there and endure, because you're fucking XCOM. You're not going to lose all your willpower and chance to become a Psionic over this. Just flashbang it. Hide in full cover and flashbang it.

Yes, I threw this out a couple days ago. It seems that if you reload a save and take the same actions as the first time, results will be different.
Subsequent reloads of the same save will be identical to that second time.
Also, I thought this was limited to once per mission, but I tried a small test yesterday, and it seemed that it actually happens for every single save.
The reloads have a different set of rolls compared to the "original" turn.

Bradsquad anon here. Gave it a quick try now, using Ink and Paint technocally hidden props didn't work.
Good news is that apparently the game checks for names and/or nicknames.
I imported Brad eight or so times, edited each one so everyone had something different in their names, and lo and behold I have five Bradfords in Gatecrasher. They also still had their invisible tattoos, but I doubt it had any effect.

Alternative use A Better AI if you don't want ABA's enemy variants. I've been pretty impressed with it so far. Just keep in mind if you don't already play on Legend the mod removes all the limits on how many enemies can engage you at once that the lower difficulties have.

Overwatch bleeds into alot of places it shouldn't be, so people are pretty reactionary. For example siege vs. overwatch/blizzard talk took over the rb6 genearl for almost an entire thread. Also its a popular game. Also "normies."

Keep going though. Is it a single piece cosmetic?

I talked to the people at microcenter and they said I can just use their replacement plan to get a giftcard for the peice of the CPU I got, so tomorrow I'm gonna go get a new CPU I guess. A friend suggested the FX 6300 and I was a little skeptical because it's so similar to the FX 8350 but it seems like it has no problems, and with a little but of overclocking I could get it easily 4 ghz.

>>151383773
TUs rule. It's a perfect way to balance volume of fire and movement speed, since weapons always take a percentage chunk of your TUs while running around costs less and less compared to your TU pool

i.e. actions that take a set number of time always take that amount of time, but your soldier speeds up everything else reasonable like running around or reloading their gun

plasma pistols do 4

your HP doesn't start high enough or grow fast enough to make medkits useful. if a soldier ends a turn within view of an enemy, they will die.

>>151395073
plasma pistol is 3-5
LPR is 4-6
Rifles are 6-8

Soldiers will survive getting shot (or not) and or will need to be stabilized. People start to survive more often with carapace, and will often survive with titan armor. And then of course there is second heart.

A single medkit is rarely a bad idea and shouldn't gimp your squads killing potential.

This isn't right
THIS ISN'T RIGHT

>>151397512
Unfortunately not. But renaming additional copies to Johnny/Johan/etc allows the to spawn multiple times. After Gatecrasher you can just rename them to John, the game doesn't seem to shit itself or anything.

>>151397806
Yep, after this one.

>if a soldier has 4hp and gets hit for 4
Correct. It's also 33% chance they will survive. Adding in bleedout and crit chance puts you probably at about the same place.
>if a soldier ends a turn within view of an enemy, they will die.
Wrong. Health can matter. Aliens will miss. Medkits become more useful as the game progresses. Do you really on those factors? No. Medkits are just insurance items. In the majority of situations, especially later, having one will not change the killing power of squad.


>stop relying on rng. if it's not 100%, it's not worth it
Where do you get this assumption? Fact is by carapace and definitely titan, soldiers will survive getting hit. When having a medkit is the difference between making sure a high-ranking soldier doesn't bleedout, then yeah, your gonna want one. Secondary heart does make medkits work 100% of the time.

The game does exist beyond your first mission with 4hp rookies.

Also by Long War or even X2 they are even more useful, but that is a different point

>>151398118
Time for some close range

>>151398118
>unfortunately not
Huh, I wonder why. Still, it's good that the name thing works. May have to do a cheeki all-bradford campaign at some point.

And that's all.
Some were happy to see themselves in action, some were confused by the ordeal, one came back with PTSD, one is apparently orgasming.
Go figure.

You need a mod that changes Tygan and Shen into Bradford, so all can be Bradford. CentralCom when?

>>151398327
>Aliens will miss.
no

btw, 33% is not 100%. :)

I swear they programmed the AI of these things to break LOS

L/I was a mistake.
Jake was a mistake.
Please send help. ;_;

You messed up somewhere for this scenario to happen.

No idea, my guess is that the game ignores soldiers with the same name, regardless of actual appearance.
Then again Brad is special, so the fact that the tattoos don't actually appear on him due to being dressed might fuck with the game.
Hell if I know, the name changing method seems to work at least.
Also don't edit the nickname or it won't let you change it until they get the appropriate rank.

>>151398570
Shieeet, will look into it.

Going on my first retaliation mission, my only non injured soldier are 2 sharpshooters, a grenadier, and 2 rookies. Should I take both sharpshooters and only 1 rookie, or 1 sharpshooter and both rookies?

>>151399232
depends on if they're gunslingers or not

>>151399060
There was no way to flash him.
I could've tried to just run away, but I'm pretty sure lancers can sprint forever anyway.

>>151399232
I'd say one sharpshooter, unless you're confident you can position them well enough for both to have good shots every turn.

>>151396105
That movie was so great.

>>151398407
Holy fuck this is a reaction goldmine. I must create smug Bradfords.

Long War player here

What's the general consensus on XCOM2? Is it worth getting now that it's -40%? Should I wait until it's 10$ with DLC?

>>151401578
its shit

>>151401578

It's totally not worth it, never buy it, it's absolute nonredeemable shit.

>>151401578
I prefer XCOM 2 to EW and Long War. If you're unsure then just keep waiting for $20~25 with all DLCs though.

>>151401578
It's better than LW, but DEFINITELY not worth 50 fucking bux.

>>151401578
Just fucking buy Jake's game, okay? He did a good job.

>>151401578
they're taking you for a ruse
it's worth getting as soon as there's a sale, then modding until you can no longer recognize it

>>151401578
Definitely worth it. But if your expecting Long War, obviously your gonna be disappointed. Its a sequel to X1 EW and does some things different some better, some worse.

Modding support is great and continues to move forward. With mods you can build your own Long War experience, though there is not an official "long war" overhaul yet.

>>151402006

Don't listen to this guy, he is the one rusing you.

>>151401578
it's great and it's worth every penny, dlc's seem crappy though. Well, Shen's Last Gift looks allright but other than that I would probably wait for a deeper discount on them, your first playthrough is better off being vanilla anyway.

So what cool new things are in XCOM2? What is lacking from XCOM1? Can I still ram my huge thrusting MEC fist up a poor unsuspecting Sectoid's probehole?

They were thinking in one thing and only one thing: Butts.

>>151402718

A lot of things. Genetroopers, eggs and salt. Yes.

>>151402718
>So what cool new things are in XCOM2?
Customizaton, mods, specialists (support) are acutally good now. Sparks aren't as cool as MECs (yet) though some simple .ini editing or a mod fixes their fist to actually ragdoll ayys properly. Hopefully the next patch actually balances them as currently on Legendary and in modded campaigns they are subpar.

>>151402718
>So what cool new things are in XCOM2?
Mod support, that's pretty much all.
>What is lacking from XCOM1?
Fun and defining classes, Vahlen, Genemodding, Dr. Shen, ADVENT replaces most of the aliens.
>Can I still ram my huge thrusting MEC fist up a poor unsuspecting Sectoid's probehole?
There are SPARKs in one of the DLCs but their fisting attacks doesn't send enemies flying because fuck you.

>fisting
Yes, but it no longer sends ayys flying away.

>>151393139
It does enormous damage and is highly accurate. I like to put it on specialists and rookies.

Plus you can always put an extended mag and/or Autoloaders on it.
