Vortex ♀ Pixalation is aware, but did not want to do anything about it at this time, as is their right.

Works perfectly with the Idle Suppression ! Though I recommend this guide if you are having frame/crash problems.

Thank you!

This is a really cool mod which makes guns feel like they have more power, However I had to disable it recently because I think I found that this mod has frequent crashes with idle supression from all the particles being made everyone shooting eachother. Just want to let everyone out there know. And vortex great mod

indeeed it seems to just break the game in a bizzare lock up, I don't if it is a specific matinee but if it is I suspect it is an Advent one, as from my personal expirence it always occurs on Advent actions, however I suspect it is just the camera it self as matinees aren't played except for the activation cutscenes in missions, and a few other cases

There was none, of course.

In any case, yes, I definitely agree that the action camera's viewpoint is seemingly the trigger of whatever it is that causes the issue. It may well be just a single specific "matinee" (I think that's what they call the variations on the cinematic camera in the .ini files?) that causes all of this.

What I don't get, honestly, is it's always the burning flames sound that accompanies the white screen, and that sound has nothing to do with whether or not flames are involved in the current battle, in my experience.

no worries, was just clarfiying, I never assumed any ill intent :3

@Vortex - Ah, mistaken assumption. Apologies.

Thanks for clarifying Patrick, I appreciate it, however one thing, I am a lady just to let you know :D

thanks for that info btw never knew what that nonsense was at all, I believe it only seens to occur with the action camera on

(Sorry for the double post)

But, again, I believe that was just the mod author's best guess. It seems to be a fairly hard-to-pin down bug. (I was convinced it was Cinematic Rapid-Fire myself, but I uninstalled and still have had that glitch.)

As Vortex has said, he's gotten it with an un-modded game (I never have). Perhaps the camera mods (and others?) just make the glitch way more likely.

@Soulmancer -

Are you using any camera mods? According to (if I recall correctly) the author of the "Updated Improved Camera - WOTC" mod, this is an engine bug that can pop up with any camera mod that goes to 45 degree increments.

His suggestion was to mitigate ending your turns at the 45 degree angles (that is - end your turns at default camera angles), and it seems to work well enough in my experience to vastly decrease the "white screen + fire sounds" bug.

I have seen that myself, but I got it without any mods before, in any case it can be fixed by reloading

Any chance this could be causing the tactical screen to go pure white randomly? Seems to occasional ocurr after a large explosion causing a reload.

No no no worries, I have no hard feelings against you it was a dumb mistake on my part please do not think I am hurt :D

Well it seems I am wrong. Looks like a patch in Windows 10 is screwing things up with my pc. It seems to be causing problems with Xcom 2 in conjunction with graphic drivers. It`s a complicated issue which is still not fully fixed yet. However, I have managed to reduce the effects by going into my config in Windows Powershell and changing parameters. After this I think i`ll go back to Windows 7. I`ve reinstalled the mod and it seems ok now.

My apologies for blaming your mod. Yours is the first- and last i`ll blame.

I would`ve responded sooner but I`m over in the UK, so sleep.
Please don`t worry. I understand, the internet and comments section can be a hostile place. People don`t know how to be polite. Thankyou for understanding.

I`m still looking at the issue and testing. Will get back to you.

Also doesn’t help that I am human and make dumb mistakes, just I’ve seen so many people literally troll posting that this mod literally destroys computers and other such nonsense

Sometimes I incorrectly assume people are trolling because I've seen some nasty people on this Workshop I hope you understand

For posterity and honesty I won't delete, sorry for being hostile I deal with a lot of rude people, I deeply apologize, I legitmately thought you were trolling or some such nonsense, I hope you forgive me, It isn't your fault, however my mod couldn't be causing issues with the game closed :)

I am not intentionally doing so and I have never done so with any mod before. In fact I find it pretty incredible myself, but I can can only go by what i`ve observed so far. As Sherlock Holmes said whatever is left no matter how implausible it must be the cause (to paraphrase).

Perhaps it`s not your mod- perhaps it`s a combination of things, but believe me i`ve been trying everything from new graphic drivers,changing all my pc settings, even going into the BIOS and changing that. I`ve reinstalled Xcom 2 twice and re-added the mods, taking some mods out and so far it`s calmed down when I removed this one. It may not be your mod but all my pc problems have started from when I put this one, plus a couple of others in. I have never had these problems before then.

I`m still testing. I will update if I find it is not your Mod and apologise.

That's litterally impossible and completely unbelievible that this mod would effect anything at all when the game isn't not running, I will be deleting your comment after you reply to this one as to not scare people away from my mods, this mod doesn't do anything the game wasn't intended to, in fact everytime you break a wall the game calls on the exact same physics that run on the CPU, most games you likely play have CPU run objects, so please do not slander like this, however I do not believe you were intentionally doing so

I think this mod is causing some serious crashes on my pc. The game will crash mid battle (like in the middle of an explosion) then the PC will crash and actually RESTART itself!
This has been going on for days causing all kinds of weird lockups even when not playing the game.

I took off this mod and all seems ok so far. I just read below something about it `running off the cpu`? So i`m pretty concerned this mod is at serious fault. However, it could be in conjunction with a couple of other mods, but haven`t figured out what they are yet. Anyway, without your mod so far, so good.

I am glad you like it

Thank you! Using this on my system and haven't noticed any performance hit or additional stuttering (i7-6700K@4.6 GHz, GTX 1070).

@BlueRaja: Well, on the non-lite-version of this mod, Insperatus commented that it does work without WotC... :x

"It technically doesn't need WOTC, but I have not tested it on standard Xcom 2, if you try it tell me what happens "
- In my testing, any mod that's compiled with the new SDK will not work with the legacy version, even if there are no WotC-specific changes. The reverse is not true - legacy mods will still work in WotC (assuming no code-changes are required)

@Vortex, geez great job Firaxis

They run on the CPU, which is why they PhysX in Xcom 2 drains the FPS so badly

@Vortex Okay, thanks for that info. I set "bDisablePhysXHardwareSupport=False" and the game crashes in the squad select screen if you have a reaper (their long coat goes crazy and gets all stretched out, followed shortly after bya hard crash). So ya, the game is broken if you enable PhysXHardware which seems really odd to me. Does that mean all PhysX effects are not using the the built-in support that the Nvidia GPU has?

Ah, I see. thank you!

you have to make an ini file, a new one doesn't matter what it is called, drop it where the WOTC
.exe is

Hey, just going to ask regarding your reshade. Your instruction on where to put your profile feels vague to me. Can you explain further on where to put it? Just drop it the Win64 folder? Make it into an ini file?

That setting is broken and actually prevents PhysX from spawning, although, last time I tested it was when X2 came out, pre WOTC

@Votex , do you recommend editing XComEngine.ini for nvidia cards since the default is...

bDisablePhysXHardwareSupport=True

Follow my guide in the discussion above

Anywhere I could get it? Is it a mod lol.

My own

What reshade?

not really it is a shader injector

is reshade a mod?

eh, just curious.

eh no, it only does what is listed, I'd suggest the Standard version, it is better

so... does this leave bloody patches when an ADVENT trooper is smashed into a wall by a SPARK? ;)

I have a reshade on

How does your game look so bright and have such realistic colors like that?
