Xcom 2 has been patched by Firaxis, with the update including several performance enhancing features, and the removal of some bugs.
The update also means that those unfortunate players who were unable to progress past certain points will now be able to do so. The various tweaks and fixes are detailed below.
Community manager Dave Hinkle explained the patch over on Steam, writing: "We will continue our patch support over the coming months with additional fixes and performance updates. It is important to the team that we address the issues below as soon as possible so fans can get back to enjoying the game."
We reviewed Xcom 2 (and loved it) and while doing so didn't encounter any of the more severe issues that have affected some players, although we did note that it lacked a layer of polish and could have done with further optimisation.
Player is unable to progress to scan in the Geoscape after completing the Resistance Communications research via Tutorial - This will fix previously affected saves.
Unable to load saves with a Chryssalid Cocoon - This will fix the issue, and for previously affected saves.
Adjustments were made to Texture Streaming to assist with periodic frame spikes.
Using the preview voice button for a modded voice pack will no longer crash the game when in the armory.
Removed 8x MSAA from default Max settings.
