I keep that thing on me; and by "thing" I mean turn-based tactics roster. 1/3 of list here.

Earlier you migth have seen a post saying how the recent 12tb steam2 leak contained files for xcom EU, wich reportedly had beta assets for scrapped maps, cutscenes, and maybe a chance of having eu get custom modded maps, sadly, this cannot be done, i will skip the technical details, but the way the files are packaged requires any "version" of them also to have the previous ones, but theres a gap in the leak, and the very first version uploaded to steams database is missing, without it, all the data in there migth as well be empty, we can only read the metadata with the names saying what it could be. If anyone has information about this or how to circumvent it, please share it. Otherwise, we won't be able to check that data.

Hey there guys, I'm looking for some XCOM like games that I could try to play on low end laptop. I have 13th gen Intel processor but no dedicated graphics card.

Games I know of and tried and what issue I have with it on my pc

XCOM EW - runs smoothly, but keeps crashing every 15 or so minutes for lack of video memory

XCOM 2 WOTC - can't run it on more than 20 fps

XCOM CS - haven't tried that but don't even feel like trying it

Xenonauts - same as XCOM EW

Xenonauts 2 - haven't tried that yet actually

Phoenix point - that one actually runs completely smooth and fine

Are there any more interesting games like that that I could try to see if my laptop can run them? Thanks for some recommendations in advance.

This is a follow-up to my previous post about the recent steam leaks.

So here’s what we’re faced with. We have confirmed files exist, but we don’t have a way to get to them. The extractor relies on both .blobs and .dats, and we’re missing the initial root .dat, which was the original first dev build of the game. Essentially, we have a list of all the changes made to the original files, but don’t have the original files.

So here’s what I’m starting to look for now:

1. Any way in hell to get that .dat for version 0. If we get that, we have all the files available to us

2. If not, there is another way. Press release builds of the game were a thing, even fitting the initial time frame of a lot of the content that was removed. I’m gunning for as early as possible here, Waterworks and Office Park were out of the game files by the 10th of March, and we currently have no idea when OilRefinery or Science Labs got canned, but wins are wins at this point. More importantly as well are the UDK files which could lead to us finally getting something close to a map editor after all these years.

So I’m asking the community now, if you have contacts in the journalism world, if you have any lead on a way to obtain one of these press builds, please let me know.

The modding community is counting on you, Godspeed.

So it's my first time playing through Enemy Within, and every sniper soldier that I have ends up underperforming terribly. The only use I have found for them is headshotting an uncovered target (no one is ever out of cover), and even then they either can't shoot or have reduced hit chance because of the snap shot debuff. Is there something I'm missing? They also don't really feel like they can shoot any farther than the other guns.

95% chance my ass

Because they get opacity when I hover over them it just seems like they are trying to tell me I can easily destroy them and take a vantage point up there.

The class is ghost, its modded in but to be honest the only skill i used was conceal which the reaper has so you could probably do this non modded (yk besides the whole long war thing)

So 1st time playing ( late to the party I know )
I’m about 10 hrs in and I got complete edition and wanted a vanilla run before I did wotc
Basically when it asked me if I wanted integrate dlc I said yes thinking of the literal definition of that word to later discover that’s more for replaying the game … got owned by alien hunters but my other missions have been fine difficulty wise… also apparently optimized the build of avenger wrong as I went in blind but have now seen a few videos on the subject…should I cut my loses ? Just restart vanilla with non intergraded dlc
