Seriously 464mb for that?

It's an issue with a lot of games and engines. It's easier and safer to just replace a section instead of fiddiling around with dozens of file edits.

Game is refusing to end my turn after the new patch. Anyone else having this issue?

Seems random, but some missions it will freeze up after I move mechs the first turn, others will after several turns. Campaign mode, doing convoy killing missions so it may be a problem with enemies spawning in.

Played 4 missions no problem so i would suggest you check your installed game using steam client!.(verify instalation)

DEVS PLEASE READ THIS:............... Please do NOT make all of the missions TIMED.
They did that in XCOM2 and one of the most downloaded mods was "Remove Timer".

Find another way to add tension.

I want you to do very well so you will continue to support this great game, (and also revisit SR).

Time for another update to this thread ?

Hi devs. Just wondering if any future update is going to address the campaign, or character-driven elements specifically. I love your studio's past narratives. I was hoping to see the RPG aspect of the game buffed a little, but understand that it's mainly a combat engine. It just seems like the pilots are no different than any other mech-component, and was hoping to experience more of a human element.

Devs, not that you "care" but 4 rounds to escape and putting trees on the already nonsensical LZ? I had killed everything and my assault was running like mad- 1 SQUARE -from LZ because of said trees slowing the sprint down!!!
For 1 turn the other guy has the face to say "ok Iam stopping this" mission failed and no salvage... Almost as good as the mechs animations #sarcasm
Who had the great idea of: after a whole damn battle and zone control have 4 turns TO RUN (FROM NOTHING) OR LOSE EVERYTHING?!

Next time just eject the slow guy - no pilot injury and you get the mech back - head repairs are quick and cheap - also you win
