Alright, thanks !

Hi,
I understand the idea of a rush to beat the aliens, so it's a constant run forward to get techs etc.
And at the same time, i'd also much prefer to have time to actually play with my new toys. Current play on beta, i go straight to Laser as the Extended or Magnetic (damn can't remember the name...) weapons would be obsolete before i even equip my team. And also, have several valid choices, rather than tech1<tech2<tech3...
So i guess i'm part of the semi active "
Long War(i don't like Firaxis xcom games) / OXCE-Files / XCE-Division" crowd. -
Hi,
Do we know if games started with Milestone 5 Stable will be compatible with Milestone 6 and release ?

Brutal ! And so true...

They wished there were more optional "side missions".
This i understand is too time consuming for the state of the game, but i feel it's really missing. The game is too focused/linear, but that's me, i love long useless stuff like XDiv or OXCE-Files.
However in XDiv, one major flaw IMO is the different phases simply feel just the same, but with bigger numbers (damage, armor...). Reach Phase 2 ? Be weaker again and grow stronger. Reach Phase 3 ? Be weaker again and grow stronger. Reach Phase 4 ? Be weaker again and grow stronger...

Not sure about the new doors.
Maybe as they are heavy, techy, automaty, give them a state and a timer, they auto close after 3 turns, you cannot force-close them, and need 1 turn before reactivation is possible ? I mean, can open turn 1, stay open turn 2, autoclose end of turn 3, stay closed turn 4, can open turn 5 etc.

Let me know. If we can find the time, I'm happy to add options to disable the camera tracking during the player turn - I just need a list of what actions it does track, as we don't have time to go through the code and look it all up.
Hi,
I meant during player, and computer, and all, turns. I don't want to see my camera jumping anywhere, never.
Plus, i'd love to keep control over it, i'd like to pan and zoom and rotate freely, while the computer computes.

Hello,
I agree about the too weak soldiers (i always sort by Strength, then TU, everything else comes after).
However, i think there should be gapes with items weight, as if it's too smooth of a curve, it may feel too basically linear.
I'd have loved an inventory like OXCE-Files, the best games of all xcom related ones IMO, with many different armors, allowing for different pockets size and shape...

Hello,
QuoteThe "return camera to previous position after AI turn" is now a settings option, and is disabled by default.
Very good, Can you also add "camera never following action" ? I really dislike this in all similar games. I simply never want the camera to move unless i move it myself, even if it means i miss offscreen stuff.

@Tchey: That´s cheating and not allowed. Don´t make yourself problems with that. Use Game-Upgrade-Mods if you whish, but don´t get the highest penalty for that Cheating from the Publisher, Developers and much more the fair playing Community. Therefore you have the official Option with the Auto-Mode or you play manually.
What do you mean it’s not allowed ? It was a simple mod from Steam i think. I actually don’t remember exactly how it worked, but i remember i didn’t have to do the air combat part of the gameplay. Now you talk about the "auto" resolve, i’m not sure if it was auto, or auto-win, but i’m pretty certain i didn’t care i just sent a fighter to then engage on the ground. It’s possible i’m forging souvenir because it’s been a while and i play many games, but i don’t think so.
Also, in any solo offline games, if i can tune the gameplay more to my taste, i do, and i trust myself not to nag about cheating, balance, bug etc if things happen.

The new GUI looks nice.
However i never liked this part of the game and gameplay, so one of the first mod i’ll install will be "auto-win air combat" as i did in first Xenonauts.
-
Hello,
I agree with pretty much everything from the OP.
About air combats, i don’t like them, and i never liked them in any xcom-ish games.
In X1 i used a mod to auto-win, so i could focus on everything else but air combat.

Thanks, i’m now around end of january 1980, with my first Phase 2 (i guess, they are blue-ish and stronger) aliens (i play on NG-0. and 25% slower phases).
Excellent mod so far, thanks for doing it, beside some parts it’s "even better" than OpenXcom Xcom-Files mod.

Hello,
I’m now in december 1979, loving it so far. Terror Attacks, Corvets, mechanized aliens... pain !
Can you simply confirm, or not, there is no need at all to gather manually all aliens, weapons etc, as long as i finish the mission i get them all automatically ?
I need to manually gather stuff only if i go back to the chinook and abandon the mission, right ?
Thanks

Ah actually my menu background is broken, but ingame seems playable anyway :

Updated, and it seems it’s all good, thanks a lot for the help, i tried a lot before asking here.

Thanks, i’ll try that !
It seems you have 46 listed mods, i have 38. It’s a fresh install with nothing else but X-Division. Is it "normal" ?

Hello,
I’m playing OpenXcom with the -Files mod, it’s awesome, but i can’t stop thinking about Xenonauts, as i loved it back years ago...
I see this mod looks greatly great, so i want to play it now...
I’m trying to install this mod under Linux PC, and i have issue i couldn’t find answer.
Based on what i understand, i’ve installed from Steam the beta Community, and launched the game via Proton, as they dropped Linux for the last updates.
No issue there, i can play Community via Proton, it runs quite well.
Then i download and try the exe from the 3 .zip. (i unzip, then launch the installation exe with WINE. I tried without unzipping first but WINE as trouble running from inside, it seems)
I point to my install folder, and it starts to install files, in my case to
Z:\home\tchey\.local\share\Steam\steamapps\common\Xenonauts
As there is a hidden folder (.local), i write the path manually, and i also change / to \ but then the installer seems to run as intended.
Then it goes boom :
It considers it done, but "obviously" if i play, it’s the base Community version (but it does run, no crash).
I also tried to manually copy/paste the Assets folder, it took a while, and at the it doesn’t work neither, it’s Community ingame.
Could you help me ? Anyway to install the mod without an installer, just files to place in correct folders ?
Thanks for reading

Alright, it's completely understandable. When you port it, i'm sure you will find plenty of players to test it prior to release, included myself, as it's like this for so many games, and other stuff actually, related to Linux.

Any chance to have access to this on Linux ? GoG Galaxy is still not avalaible to Linux despite almost 9000 demands on GoG suggestions http://www.gog.com/wishlist/galaxy/release_the_gog_galaxy_client_for_linux
If not, well, i will wait... I loved X1 i with to be part of X2 but it seems i can't. Yet ? Anyway, from here, away from actual playtest, the progress look good so far, cheers !

You think i can use 0.33 RC1 ? Or i will face doom again ? It's instable ok, but is it supposed to be playable at least ?

I've installed enonauts from Steam, then installed the mods in correct order. I didn't update nothing after that. However i've been stupid as i've deleted all the game and saves and mods, because after 3 days of trying, i failed to play my game again.
I could load all the saved game, and play, until i saved again : crash. I tried with loading autosave, manual save on geoscape, manual save on battlescape, and a previous save too, all the same. I can play without any trouble, until i try to save, or until autosave.

Hello,
Not sure if it's related to XCE or another mod, but i have a deadly bug.
I played for one ingame month, then a few days after, the game crashed to desktop. OK. I tried again, all good. I saved. Crashed. Now, everytime the game tries to save, autosave, or manual save, geo or battle scape, crash to desktop.
I tried to desactivate other mods, but it's not helping. Reboot computer, same.
I had these mods :
Fire in the hole
Fire in the hole no smoke
Skitso's Oppressive UI
Skitso's Sounds of Pain
X:CE Balance Adjustments
X:CE Settings
X:CE Base Mod
I played on Steam, and i've deleted all data, to start again.

Hi,
I'd like to try it, but i can't pass the captcha. I tried like 10 times and i fail or i can't read the letters well... Any other place to download it ?
Thanks

In current state (5.25x) i think it's a nice linear short-ish tactical game, and some balance could do good anyway.
I hope with time and mods, it can grow to challenge X-Division and OXCE-Files, my two favorites of the genre, even as of 2025 standards, because i do love the roots.
