XCOM 2 SG - It Continues?

Lurkers, we need you!

Able bodied cannon fodder volunteers to join the Resistance. Enjoy your "Alien encounters" in a new way and earn medals!

Ooooh, medals? I love earning medals! I'm sure there's no chance I'll get horribly killed by a flaming plasma bolt to the face and/or an enormous pinkish blob-like shapeshifting monster, so sign me right up!

I'll play next. The next 2 weeks are going to be pretty busy for me and I have some free time today. Dunno if I can get a proper report done but I'll do my best. Will play tonight.

Having some problems loading the current save. I can download and open it just fine, but when I load it up it reverts to exactly where I left off after my last turnset (aka after the retaliation mission) which is a problem.

Can someone else download the save and see what happens? If this behavior is consistent with everyone (e.g. Jowy starts after Gatecrasher, Dreylin after 1st Guerrelia, Lewwyn VIP mission etc.) we may have an issue with the SG format and the game is somehow storing local content or something. If it's just me that has issues then I'm happy to be skipped for the time being. If it's consistently placed after the retaliation mission then maybe Jkaen uploaded the wrong save? Dunno what's going on tbh...

ok gone into the game, opened the save and resaved, try this one

[WarriorKnight]

Never mind, fixed it. Turns out that's what happens when you delete the save manually without doing so in-game, it morphed into my previous save data as I was loading the game. Copying it again after having the previous save gave me the option to load the current one.

Got a different issue now, although not as severe:

Thoughts? I can get into the game fine but it is ominous. Not exactly sure what it means to be totally honest...

Although thinking about my schedule, I shouldn't take the save right now. I didn't touch anything so anyone is free to play. I'll grab a spot late next week as life should have calmed down a bit by then.

I got the same message, didn't seem to matter

[Jowy]

whats the 'resistance warrior pack?' seems our save has it activated

This is what Jkaen said before. Looked into it, apparently it's some character customization DLC that only came if you pre-ordered the game. One of us probably had it enabled and it was added to the save file when they played. We'll probably be fine if we don't use those customization options right? And even then hopefully it would only lead to missing textures rather than crashes.

Ah, ok. No big deal then.

The new patch introduced a bunch of UI bugs. For example you might shoot at the wrong target (cycling seems to prevent this), you can sometimes only pick the left-most perk (try again in the HQ), the "make available" buttons in squad selection are broken and might overlap or just send you out to the world map if pressed (no fix?). Pretty annoying stuff.

Is it just me or does it seem to run even slower than before?
