Hope this helps anyone who runs into the same problem. I'm sure I won't have any more freezes or crashes from this rock-solid, well-crafted and thoroughly debugged and tested game from this point forward. Posted on 26 November 17 at It fixed the problem. Perhaps report it on their official forum, we can only hope they'll do something about it! Vr EnglishWe still haven't had a patch and there is lots more optimisation to do. I don't know whether this is related, but I don't think I ever had this error until I installed the recent October Xbox One update that changed up the home screen. Things I've tried: - hard power off disconnect power for 1 minute - reset alternate MAC address - delete savegames and resync from cloud - delete WOTC and reinstall Since none of this works, I now get a guaranteed crash every time try to set up a covert op, among other things, making the game totally unplayable. That information is interesting, but in the end, useless to console players.

There's a lot of chatter about this bug from PC players who are saying its related to anti-virus settings on the folder where XCOM 2 stores photos. Apparently, when the game has trouble retrieving soldier photos, it sometimes catches the error and displays the 'img:' placeholder instead, but in other places, such as the covert op screen, it doesn't catch the error, and crashes instead. On my latest playthrough, I get it at the first covert op. I would give up on that playthrough and start another one, but I would see the 'img:' bug and start getting crashes even sooner. Once it did, I could never proceed past the crash no matter what I did. Once I started seeing this 'img:' I knew the game would crash soon. About two playthroughs ago, I noticed that some of the photos of the soldiers and VIPs weren't being displayed, but a placeholder with the text 'img:' against a tri-color background would appear in their place.Ī few of the many places this would appear was at the squad screen when a soldier was kiled, in the Memorial, and in the Photobooth making it utterly useless.
