Dresarian

Also soldier training button text is hashed "#####" appears to function still, just has the text missing.

I tested on a GTX670 and my ancient ATI laptop and can get all the previously demonstrated graphical artifacts to occur. Howeve I am using standalone, I'm curious if the Desura update will be different.

Was playing on the laptop on the couch next to the wife last night when SHE noticed I was wincing every time I took incoming fire from unseen enemies. I didn't notice until she pointed it out and I had a pretty good laugh. Only other game that ever made me do that was the original X-COM. Well done, and thank you, Goldhawk.

Definitely not hyper-realistic but at least now you can get away with a gamble now and then. I went up against 2 Sebilians last night and only 3 troopers had shots, 2 riflemen and a machine gunner. The riflemen were deployed in front of and two the sides (think 2 squares diagonal separation) from the gunner, with one Sebilian directly ahead of the LMG. It had happened by accident, moving one of the riflemen revealed both ETs and triggered reaction fire. I was able to cut one down with bursts from the riflemen and took a gamble with the LMG. Worked out, ET was suppressed and next turn my riflemen were able to drop the survivor. Last build I played (which was quite a while ago) I had stopped bringing LMGs with because that same situation would have just got both my riflemen hosed. Was definitely a white-knuckler though.

Um, guys? I kept jamming my credit card into the machine and now it's jammed in the SSD slot. Still nothing... In all seriousness I just can't wait to get home tonight and give it a go. I waded through 4 crash sights with the invisible interior bug this weekend until I found out about the hot fixes. Amazing how effective blindly hosing the ship down with machine gun fire and converging grenades on the "suppressed" icon can be. Heard 18.4 was on the way after I powered up my brain and headed to the forums and figured I'd just wait it out.

So So So glad this hit Beta. I've held off updating since last year for this. Was going to force myself to wait for release, but couldn't do it. =)

YF-12!!!! Holy crap I was just thinking that would be the perfect stopgap application of existing Cold War tech for this game.

Mmmmm... Gonna revert back to a ten year-old before family and friends things kick off and I can't be at the computer. I plan to: 1. Fire up PS3 2. Insert Independence Day Blu-Ray 3. Start XCOM or Xenonauts on laptop. 4. If movie ends before it's time to leave, fire up X-Files on Netflix. I'm gonna party like it's 1996. I know. <--- Nerd. Had the Independence Day soundtrack playing on iTunes while I fought off the alien hordes tonight. Put me in a mood.

Thanks! Worked like a charm. Just testing it out here.

That would actually look pretty cool. Energy weapons with Picatinny rails and Eotech style optics. Laser rifle with an underslung M203, perhaps? =)
