avoid xcom 2

[Teddy07]

Hello,

if anyone here thinks about buying xcom 2 then i would highly recommend to reconsider this decision. I am really pissed.

 

I bought xcom 2 yesterday because i thought the launch problems were now fixed but i was wrong. I was not even able to complete the tutorial without a crash called " pure virtual function being called while application was running" and couldnt even start the first mission when i skipped the tutorial. I just found out that a 26 page long discussion thread exist but no solution is in sight.

 

I tried everything but this is the only game which i was not able to run in my entire life as a pc gamer. I will now boycott this shit ass company until they fix this shit because they basically scammed me. I was looking forwar for Civ6 but not with me. Fuck this company.

It might not work for you, but it might still work for others. I myself had no issues with it. You can't just say "never ever buy this game! It's terrible, the company is terrible and you shouldn't buy it". A lot of people have enjoyed this game and will keep enjoying it. If the game doesn't work just refund it...

- this thread will be burried in forgottenness on this forum by tomorrow.

This is exactly what Steam refunds are for.

 

For my part, I have 155 hours in XCOM 2, but it's definitely got some technical issues. It still runs like hot garbage, often falling far under 60 FPS with a GTX 1070 at 1080p without even maxing the settings out. I don't recall it ever crashing on me, though.

Seems like a fairly common problem, though I haven't experienced it in the 100+ hours I've played.  But I haven't really played it since March and since then, a ton of DLC has been added to the game.  And the mods I used were mostly just voice packs and minor UI changes.

 

But yeah, just refund it.  XCom 2 has, unfortunately, been a bit of a letdown due to how unoptimized and buggy it was.

I bought the game in a local shop and they dont support refunding the game if it doesnt work

Ok i finally found the cause of the problem and i blame fucking Microsoft for it. I noticed that my virtual RAM usage was around 95% when xcom2 is running. I did a fresh windows 10 installation a month ago and windows capped the virtual RAM at 1 GB while the little box below recommends 2 GB.... So i switched to let windows handle the RAM size instead of a limit.

The funny thing is that my real RAM never went over ~70% usage.

 

I played multple hours since then without a crash.

 

I am just quoting you guys that you know it was my pcs fault

Bought it in Release Week, not a single Crash.

Ah cool, glad it's working.  I still hope they can optimize it more, but I'm kind of resigned to it being what it is now.  Thanks for the update!
