Can you turn off the planet getting nuked campaign timer?
I really want to get the game, but games that force campaign timers upon really are a mood killer for me (XCOM2 after that one DLC or mechanicus for example).

I'm fine with liker timers on a secondary objective, where there's a reward for having to rush it, but I hate having a timer just for the sake of having timer and adding a sense of urgency.. for no reason..

There is a setting to reduce it, yes. Can't turn it off, but you can make it so you don't feel that xcom 2 pressure.

If you're gonna try to be a smartass you might whana actually be smart and check when the question was asked; mere hours after launch.

There were no mods yet at the time.

It literally activates at the end of mission 5?

Hmm... not for me... maybe it's bugged and I got lucky? :D

Just got my countdown timer and kinda bummed about it. I intended to return to previous locations and mop up the bits I'd missed but now I gotta focus solely on the current mission and the one after.
I do hope they remove it.

You cant run out of time without trying really hard even on nightmare. you would need to just skip days for no reason. I kinda feel they missed the mark with this they could of given the player 10 days not over 20.

I'm down in the auxiliary mines looking for Morrow and Cassandra and I'm still not getting a countdown.

It's just listing the planet infection level.

to be honst, this must be fixed! without knowing how many missions till left...how this timer helps anything? There are 1-2-3-4-5 "Lets find the daugther" missions before finally we can take care about the bombardment, or escpaing or what ever...we dont know upfront. So ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ the whole game and making it impossible to solve is a big NOGO! And if there is no fix, i want my money back! ;) no im not joking!

I'm not sure...

I've been going back to base like 5-7 times on each mission since it's supposed to show up (mission 5 IIRC) and I just finished the last mission.

It seems the countdown just didn't start.

There is now an option to disable the timer, but it must be done at the start of a new campaign, you can set it to disabled when using the "custom" difficulty, sadly no way of disabling it mid campaign.
