Firaxis and 2K aren't giving anything away about what the problem is or when a fix will land, though they do tell us that they're "aware some players have experienced performance issues" and that they're looking into it. It's a damn shame, crossing the line from ultimately meaningless visual sacrifices into actively annoying slowness. Reader dear, I do hope you're treated to this too.I'm far from alone, as a glance at the Steam forums, official boards or Reddit will very quickly reveal. I like how you can see tiny bits of the engine's workings in glitches, but it's like studying a watch's cogs after someone's smashed it with a hammer. Thanks, Pip.īetween this heat and Pip's topographical map aura, I do enjoy how some of these glitches look like geography homework.

Here's what happens when PsyPip turns up to the party.įirst, it's all fun and games and disco lights. I think that's maybe what happened to some low-lying fog. Shooting wildly into colourhell.Īnd I really like this. My crack sniper could still somehow nail shots. Honestly, given the premise of the final mission, for a few minutes I half-thought all this glitching out was intentional.

I liked when everything would take on a colourful tinge. (Click on all these to see bigger versions, obvs.) Oh, and also the whole level briefly went blue, yellow, and white. Glitches, eh?įor more on XCOM 2, visit our XCOM 2 guide hub.Įverywhere Pip went (that's her invisible in the middle), she was surrounded by swirling patterns - her calming Solace aura gone wildly out of control. These glitches are the finest I've ever had, beating out even my days with an optimistically mega-overclocked Voodoo3.Ĭome see the damage Pip's psychic powers cause by clicking the arrow above that screenshot to advance, an arrow which will magically shift to below screens from here on. I've no idea what made XCOM 2 do this - my laptop wasn't even running hot enough to max out its fans. I know at least one person who had the same thing happen in the same place, though they - for reasons I'll never understand - fixed it by reloading their save a few times. I'll cross my fingers and hope you get to see all this too on your run.

Look away if you don't want to see where it's set or what happens. Given that this all happened on the final mission, spoilers obviously follow. These bugs are great! I wish I'd had them all along! What are you all complaining about? Sheesh! Here, I snapped a gallery of screens for those of you unlucky enough to not see this bug. Then the end neared and everything glitched out into a psychedelic wonderland, flashing and morphing through loads of different types of graphics glitches. I finished XCOM 2 last night and had, up until the final mission, evaded the troubles some suffer.
