Xcom 2 July 2017 Patch Download
Why does XCOM 2 lag, how to fix DOWNLOAD PATCH FIX xcom 2 - Anyone who is at least a little familiar. Long War 2 only works with Patch 7 of the retail copy of XCOM 2. This patch is downloaded automatically when you connect to Steam. Select the vanilla version of XCOM2 in the launcher to continue playing Long War 2. Update November 2017: After discussions with 2K Games, we're disappointed to report that Pavonis Interactive will not be.
XCOM 2 on PC has been updated today to enable controller support. Aside from making it possible to play with a controller, it also allows for you to take a first-person stroll around the Avenger, your headquarters in the game.
Steam should automatically download the new update, referred to by Firaxis as Patch 7. The unlocked camera is not enabled by default; you'll instead need to either install the game's mod tools or enable the in-game console. You can do this by accessing the Properties menu of the game in Steam (by right-clicking it in your library), choosing Set Launch Options, and entering '-allowconsole' without the quotation marks.
With that done, open up the game and hit the ~ or keys to bring up the console. From there, enter the command 'toggledebugcamera' without the quotation marks and hit enter. You can then use your controller to fly around the Avenger, exploring things that otherwise could not be seen. This includes photographs located in soldiers' bunk beds, as you can see in the video above.
It's unclear why a controller is required for this. (Steam Controllers are not supported for this feature.) Today's patch only officially adds support for Xbox One and Xbox 360 controllers, though you might be able to get others working. You can see what the controller layouts for playing look like in the images below.
More detailed instructions for enabling the first-person view can be seen on XCOM's website. Choosing to install the mod tools (rather than enabling the console) is a slightly more involved process, but it's what Firaxis recommends because it 'gives players access to all of the in-game assets and debugging tools used by the devs.' This includes the ability to use things like Tactical Quick Launch, which is described as 'a skirmish mode where players can create their own missions, try new soldier loadouts, and fight any combination of enemies.'
The update does make some other changes, which you can check out in the patch notes below.

TROUBLESHOOTING:
If you are have problems with the mod, you should first exit the game and REGENERATE YOUR INI files by deleting all files in DocumentsMy GamesXCOM2XComGameConfig. These will be recreated on your next game start.
If that does not resolve your issues, you may need to verify XCOM2 back to its vanilla state in Steam before activating this and other mods.
Some issues may be due to mod conflicts. If the above steps don't fix your problem, remove all other mods and see if it persists.
An additional temporary workaround to crashes when starting a new campaign is to move all of your old save files out of DocumentsMy GamesXCOM2XComGameSaveData. (We still want bug reports if these kind of crashes happen.)
KNOWN ISSUES
- Long War 2 doesn't support controllers. We don't have plans to add this.
- Our custom cutscenes may not have translated audio or subtitles in non-English installs.
