XCOM 2 was generally very well received when it released on 5th February, although that hasn’t stopped some users from running into crashes and performance issues, but hopefully this latest hotfix from 2K will put an end to it.
“We’re happy to report a hotfix for XCOM 2 is now available,” said a 2K representative on Steam. “This update will automatically install when starting the Steam client. If it doesn’t automatically, restart Steam.”
“This update fixes issues causing known crashes and includes some performance improvements. Saves affected by the crashes detailed below can be recovered and continued after installing the update.”
Here’s the patch notes:
- 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.</b>
2K promises that more patches will be coming soon. Let us know if this hotfix has sorted any problems you may have experienced on launch.
