WotC - Overwatch infinite slow motion bug

[ragsu]

Hello!
Noticed in couple of playthroughs overwatch shot doing an infinite slow motion. No ways to go around it except load an earlier save. The most this has happened for me is when I have skirmisher doing a double overwatch shot with Waylay skill. Anyone else getting this? The bug has ruined 2 of my Iron Man campaigns already so I will not play IM again...

Thanks Dragon, I'll give it a try.
(Good to know)

- I also have an ironman game running and have had this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ bug several times in the actual game.
- Right now this is my second ironman game, cause my first one had a crash once, that has totally destroyed the savegame. No repair possible.
- Since than I'm doing manual "savegame copies" of "SaveData Folder". (I really really suggest this to every ironman player)

Unfortunatley I've made a "bad copy" of the savegame now:
- My soldiers are in perfect overwatch position and I was pulling the "Viper King"
- Unfortunately in this save my sniper already was on overwatch (no change possible)
- And now my sniper is causing this bug everytime (maybe I could explode him in order to loose overwatch; but that would'nt be a good option and probably a bad start for ViperKing fiht => THANK YOU 2K!!!)

I have to go back now to an older Savegame. All my palytime of the last 2 hours was for nothing.

XCOM is actually a very good game. But these Bugs are so heavy, I haven't had such heavy bugs in any other game since the past 10 years. Bugs are normal, but not such heavy ones!

I thought it died, but it came up apparently with the latest patch? ;(

Ive used the mod 'less overwatch lockups' for the past couple of runs and it truely seemed like I didnt get many of those anymore. But I havent played since january so I dont know if things have changed with that mod.

Yes, I've been using that mod, and I didn't have problems for hundreds of hours. However, it seems to have been resurrected with the new Firaxis patch that changed the launcher. So I am wondering if people are having the same issues since the patch. Another thing is that it occurred only during the Gatekeeper mission. So perhaps the problem is unique to that buggy mission?

There was no patch, just the launcher. None of the game files were modified. Use Windows' search to check your own install.

In the Chimera Squad patch notes it was very clearly called the "2K launcher"
