XCOM 2
Long War 2
Comprehensive Bug Report Thread (Release)
For the convenience of the developers, and to avoid excessive clogging up of the discussions, if you have had any bugs/issues at or around initial launch time, please drop a comment describing what happened in this thread.

As for what inspired this thread, I encountered a glitch where, if a soldier was mind controlled by an enemy and then stunned (in my case, the arc thrower), and the mind controller was killed so control was taken back, the soldier can move And sprint freely, but cannot take any other sort of actions, including (but not limited to: attacking, using items, hacking, interacting with doors, or extracting, leading him to be guaranteed to be captured, since he's considered 'active' again and unable to be picked up/carried.

Can not proceed further in th campaign as soon as the black market comes up I click buy and it crashes.
Research based on having corpses becomes difficult when every mission you do does not allow you to gain corpses as loot. Currently stuck on needing an advent officer corpse to advance the game. The ability to carry dead bodies into evac would solve this problem in a theme consistent manner.

Edit: Ok, so I just hadn't made it far enough along. Once the Advent presence inscreased a couple levels I started seeing more missions that didn't involve extracting from the area, allowing me to loot those bodies. I still think it would be nifty to be able to carry the occasional corpse to the extraction point to help resource acquisition and research.

KlarkMorrigan has kindly suggested some mods that do just what I describe a little further into the thread here. I'm gonna give them a try. Thanks Klark.

On occasion after clearing a mission, in the squad stats screen, The screen cuts out to some random part of the avenger base management screen (e.g. in my case, the struts at the bottom of the craft), and the post-mission squad status screen never loads. I am given the option to save my game/quit, but thats all I can do. The squad/mission completion screens never load.

If I save my game manually, quit XCOM2, then try to reload the save I made, the game save sits on the loading screen and never finishes loading.

After the third mission on 2 different campaigns, the camera got stuck on the bottom of the avenger and you cannot go to geoscape or anything but you can hit esc and load saves... havent tried to verify files yet so i'll give that a try!

This is the problem I describe above. Happened on my third mission as well.
Experienced an issue with alien hunters DLC enabled. Scan the site where Big Sky crashed. If you don't visit the armory to unveil the new weapons (and let the new weapons get unveiled during the infiltration squad selection screen), the game will refuse to cycle through the remaining new weapons (e.g. powered shadowkeeper and frost grenade). You'll have an empty squad selection screen, and none of the buttons will respond.

Visiting the armory after the initial scan for the DLC, or at a minimum, BEFORE you prep an infiltration squad, is a work-around to this issue.

I've had this issue occasionally (very rarely) before LW2. I could only bypass it by loading tactical auto-saves prior to finishing the mission.

The Extract Corpses mod allows you to do exactly that (plus Fulton Balloons) and is compatible with LW2. I use it alongside the LOS Preview Ability (compatible) and the Update Carried Units (not tested) mods.

I just encountered a strange bug on a "recover the data cache" mission I've never had in the base game and can only assume it is somehow related to LW2. The objective spawned beyond the boundaries of the map and was impossible to reach.

Luckily I had a Specialist on my team, and was able to hack to cache from a distance.

My game crashes randomy. I did all the common fixes, nothing worked.

In my game i encountered a bug where all enemies were frozen in place. When my squad revealed the enemies wouldn't do anything and just stood there. I am currently running Gotcha Flank Preview, Numeric health display, and Evac all

Edit: If anyone has this same problem, validating local files fixed it for me!

I'm having the same bug as HelpComputer and KlarkMorrigan has described.

I can't get back to proper working without quitting out of XCOM and then loading the tactical save before the problem, but currently that seems to resolve it consistently.(That means: Hope to hell you have a save right before mission end --> quit to desktop --> start XCOM 2 again --> load save --> cross your fingers and hope it's resolved.) I'm running
  • Grimy's Loot
  • Grimy's Loot Alien Rulers Xpac
  • Mod Everything
  • Commanders Choice
  • Lifetime Stats
  • Mod Config Menu
  • Gotcha (flank preview evolved)
  • Perfect Information
  • Additional Icons
  • TacticalUI Killcounter
  • Restored Avenger Navigation
  • [LW2] Katana Pack Reloaded
  • Weapon Upgrades expanded
  • It's just a scratch V2
  • No Rank Up Throttling
  • LW2 Tactical Suppressors
  • Long War 2 (of course)
and some others, but since it seems it might not be a mod conflict specifically that creates this behaviour I won't bother to write down the rest. Anyways, A great thank you to the studio formerly known as Long War Studios.

I'm not really that bothered by this bug, but I figured I should report what I could.

Started a new game and got through the first mission. After going to the Black Market, I have no HQ on the map to fly to. Meaning I can't do any scans for Intel or anything. It was there previously when I played.

I've disabled all my mods but LW2, restared a game, same result.

Occasionally, soldiers just don't return to base after a successful infiltration mission. Even if one gets the rewards for it and promotes the soldiers, their status remains "infiltrating"

Suppression sometimes doesn't work. Aliens can just run through it without having any reaction fire, while also clearing their penalties. Additionally sometimes when an alien dashes away, Suppression doesn't trigger until the alien has gone 2-3 tiles.
