X-COM XCOM 2 + War of the Chosen Expansion Thread

Oh yeah and the loading times on my 1.4 Ghz processor are... really, really, really slow. Like, two minutes a pop.
It's not a memory issue 'cause I got a solid 8 GB; you just need a better processor than that is all.

(What? I am not buying a new computer until the old one breaks. I don't care about FPS. TBH I am impressed this thing is still working; it's been running every single day since five years ago, and I never shut it down. And it's a notebook.)

Do you have it on an Ssd drive? I read that game really works better on one.

Meanwhile, I'm still working on some dark VIPs.

Maybe it is time to start playing the game. The character creator is damn fun. I wish there were more faces though.

I'm waiting for the:

Then you can play.

Here he is:

Can I play now? hehe

Most impressive, good sir. He's even smiling in a way that doesn't give him the time to bleed.
SimsCom 2 :D

I don't think they were even invented when my ancient laptop was made.

I'm thinking of getting a nice ~1500$-2000$ one to replace it. Can't take a desktop 'cause I am moving out of the country fairly soon + need a notebook for work.

Still, honestly, I am impressed the game is playable on a computer manufactured in 2009...

 

[ArchAngel]

I got a i5 750 (1st gen i5), I hope the game will not run like crap :D

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

I have an I3
Apparently I reach minimal requirements

 

[Jimmious]

I'm playing with a Quad Core and have no issues at all. I think the game is indeed gpu intensive , for whatever reason.

 

[Monocause]

Yo guys, can't play right now but I've read on the net that one of the things that seem to cause a performance issue is that for some reason X-Com 2 process is set to 'below normal' priority by default and setting it to high helps a lot with performance in many places. Can someone check it out and see if that's not BS?

 

[Zetor]

IIRC it only switches to below normal when you alt-tab out, which is actually not a bad thing (though it does make it so that alt-tabbing during long loads may be counterproductive).

Put Zombra in your game.

Gameplay aside, I am disgusted by how lazy the developers became regarding software optimization. Reading stuff like https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/44adc5/xcom_2_pc_performance_review/ makes me lose all hope for the future. I mean, this is a freaking turn based, PC exclusive game, not a piece of art for chrissake.

I will wait things out. No way I'm upgrading my GTX 670 i5 which is perfectly fine for my gaming habits.

 

[Matalarata]

Trucks exploding, killing half a squad. Sectoids reanimating assholes just under my butt. Panicked soldiers running towards the enemy screaming.
Glorious

 

[MediantSamuel]

Only played about four missions so far; very much enjoying it.

Hopefully it doesn't crumble after 1337 hours. :D

 

[FuriousGamer87]

The shitty long ass loading time for every little thing is making me hesitate to play this game for long period of time which I do for the first one.
On the plus side, I got free time to gamedev.

 

[Jasede]

Honestly?

I want to play this game so bad that I decided to buy a new computer.
On my credit card. Won't ship for 3 weeks though. (The price I pay for a good deal.)

I really am turning American...!

:mrpresident:

Where to? What site to use?

 

[Daedalos]

Firaxis really did a piss poor job with the optimization.

Wtf lol.

Yep. Getting about 45 to 50 ish fps on max when I'm actually in a mission but it likes to jump around a lot on the Skyranger "loading screens". I'm sure the base runs at shit fps too.

Also loading takes ages despite the fact I installed the game onto a new SSD.

 

[Heresiarch]

Holy shit I got utterly destroyed in the first two missions.

The performance is absolutely horrible though. The stuttering is simply unbearable. In fact, normally I won't mind stuttering in games (too much)...but this is the kind of game that is already making me while playing normally so the extra stuttering really makes me want to smash the monitor.

I think I'll wait for a couple of patches.

This file share is free and doesnt req. Registration as far as i can see,

For example, there are many others.

It's 2016
Shitty Optimization is Vogue atm, haven't you heard?
Seriously, wtf if with modern developers optimizing their shit? Do they really think no one would notice their laziness?

 

[PhantasmaNL]

On my very mediocre system, at least gpu wise, gtx760 it does well after i decreased shadow to only static or something, quality med, rest is med, textures is high, fxaa. Only stutters a little during mission load.

Completed the intro, ill think ill restart on legend. Not sure about ironman, mostly since i fear the corrupt save game monster.
