Cars and walls blow up, fire spreads and damages buildings I am really hoping these problems with the preview build get sorted out because, unlike the video above, that's the type of bug you can't laugh off. Once I stopped spinning, I was presented with a mission and everything completed after that was done-but I lost a couple of potentially vital game days and then still couldn't use that soldier in the mission. The research and building was 'paused' and my best soldier somehow had -7 days left in her recovery. I was 'spinning the globe', waiting for research to finish, a facility to build, and some soldiers to recover, when I noticed the globe spun past the deadline for all of them and kept on spinning. Update: And right after I write this article, I encountered a bug that really screwed with my gameplay experience.

Like I said, I haven’t seen anything game-breaking yet, but I hope Firaxis can squish some of these problems, because they are blemishes on what is otherwise a very polished experience. My soldier and the enemies are moving in slow motion, while a scared citizen and flapping birds are moving at full speed around them.īut there was a time when I couldn’t perform an action I wanted to (luckily just opening a door) because the button was unresponsive, and I found myself locked on the promotion screen once as well. My favorite part of the this video is actually the background action. Fortunately, the majority weren’t detrimental to gameplay, but awkward and jumpy animations were pretty commonplace-as seen in the GIF above where my Sharpshooter took a few seconds longer than expected to line-up his Overwatch shot. Granted, none of them were disastrous (and Firaxis does have another month to iron stuff out before launch) but I was surprised by the frequency with which I encountered bugs.

Can we see an xcom 2 demo
