New Note: 2K has made an official statement on the subject: This thread is about performance problems, not crashes or failures to start. There have been multiple reports that switching to windowed mode and back to full screen improves performance. A fuller explanation has been provided by a user here: The quick fix is to disconnect it, but that obviously would generally remove your internet connection. Not entirely unique to XCOM 2, but some users experience unpleasant stuttering, intermitten freezing (or intermittent not-being-frozen), and that sort of thing, when they have a USB network adapter connected (usually a tethered cellphone or UB wi-fi). If you are experiencing problems and have the game installed on a different logical drive, try moving it, maybe?Īdditional suggestion from user: the game seems to run much more smoothly when started in debug mode from the SDK tools. Threads with much rule-breaking in are less likely to be merged, while those with helpful, constructive information are more likely to be merged.įor issues other than performance, please see another pinned thread, Īdditional note: some people have experienced an improvement by installing the game on the same logical drive as Steam. Other threads on this subject may be locked or merged here, at our discretion. Swearing is not allowed, and evading the language filter will not be tolerated. Slagging each other off is not acceptable and will not be tolerated. We ask that everyone remember the forum rules, and remain respectful in this thread. If you're below minimum specs, reports probably aren't that helpful.

It will be most helpful if you can report your specs (including OS), what changes to settings you've tried, and a description of the problems. Please use this thread to report your problems.

Turning off vsync in the game can also help if you want the framerate limitation, use adaptive vsync in the nvidia control panel (if you're on nvidia). Other people report changing from MSAA to FXAA being a big improvement. Myself, I had big problems until I turned down AO to Tile AO, turned off an effect or two, turned down a couple things. It looks like the game's autodetection may be a little bit optimistic when it selects settings for you. Many people have found they resolve if you turn down/off some of the graphics settings. It is clear that some (many?) users are experiencing performance issues with the game, some more severe than others.
