They made the game more easy in this patch

[Lula O Honesto]

Now lv 9 agents (the BEST IN THE WORLD) fall even in low tier traps like poison darts.

Nice game ballancing,the kids will love playing hard mode while sleeping

I discovered what is happening, the zalika quest that the FOJ are using chips do bypass traps is having the opposite effect, instead of disabling the traps they are failing to almost every trap.

Having a buggy copy of a game is not really possible on a service like steam, as all games are identical. This was just the roll of the dice, do not worry.

In my game, level 9 interrogators out of 9 traps with darts disabled 9 traps.

well if something goes wrong with the install, or something with the files it can cause issues. so yea, some people do end up with 'buggy copies'. There's a fix in steam for things like this that may fix it.
Verifying game files
But EG2 is known to have some bugs in it in general, especially around launches/updates.

it's some weird thing in my zalika campaign,the "Brainframe" story

I still have lvl 9 soldiers killing half my hitmen. I still see them disabling most of my traps. The only good thing I noticed is the changes to temp. I had to sell half my heaters because my base was literally cooking.

Unfortunately, even now there is no balance. They greatly changed the mechanics of traps, unlike the first part of the game. The problem is that the agent will fall into one or another trap depends on the level of the trap. But I think that the grading of the traps is wrong. The highest level traps are venus and the dog, I think this is not correct, it devalues all the other traps. High-level traps should be traps that drain agents' minds, and then I would use low-level traps to kill agents.

Only in this order of trap levels will it be possible to use all the traps, and not just one at the end of the game.

In my next playthrough i will try, no minion upgrades, no câmeras and traps and only stun guns.

Trying to balance myself, because agents suck

How are solders killing half of your hitman's? Here they kill 2 mercs and die

Try doing it by only researching the required items and no extra research or don't go beyond tier 2 research. Like you will need Stairs and intel.

Im playing on hard. My mercs, hitmen and martial artists all have 100 stats. When soldiers show up, if I dont send in a tanky henchmen, they drop like flies.

Except for the martial artists, everyone has guns. Various. Machine guns, freeze pistols, rocket launchers. It could be my base lay out. My entrances could be too narrow.
