After testing every setting maximizing them to their highest values is not very optimal, due to some of them not changing much in the end.
Lower end systems will end up having some pretty large performance issues but this is most likely not be the game's fault, and it's most likely a hardware issue. This game is far more graphically intensive than its predecessor, and as such it might have difficulties properly scaling over different hardware configurations. In the worst case the Texture Detail setting has to be set to High, but even then there's such a minor loss in performance, to the point where it actually doesn't really matter too much, unless the average framerate is really low. Oddly enough the level which perfomed the worst overall has been the base of operations itself, otherwise even at 30 FPS the game did behave pretty decently, while the framerate might not have been optimal there were no major input lag issues and the game was still playable, anything below 30 FPS was otherwise pretty rough to play with, during usual gameplay however even the camera distance itself affected the framerate, while this might not be a great solution, if the game is performing too badly try zooming in a little bit in order to gain a few extra frames in order to make the game slightly more bearable to play with.Ĭertain settings have a placebo like effect, mainly the Texture Detail and the Shadow Quality settings, it doesn't really matter what these two are set to, they won't improve or ruin the framerate in any way. Objects with edges over the fog of war will smoothly blend in with the smoke screen, the transparency values are automatically adjusted and improved by the SSAO setting. Most differences are very difficult to spot during gameplay, daylight areas will however look slightly better because of the darker lighting. The second setting also applies to objects such as rocks, trees and buildings. It does not affect areas currently in view by the player That's all there is to enabling and using the console in XCOM 2.The first setting applies a lighter ambient occlusion effect over any ground tiles or buildings located near the fog of war. If you're looking for commands to use with the console, check out our comprehensive list of all commands in the game by clicking the button below: If you were to replace with 5, the command would be giveactionpoints 5 - this would add 5 action points. In this command is an argument - it tells the command how many action points to add.
An example of a command with an argument is the giveactionpoints command. Sometimes commands require arguments, these are extra words or numbers you add to a command to tell it what to do. Using the console is pretty simple, simply type a console command into the console and hit ENTER to send it. You can close the console by pressing ESC, or the same key you opened it with. \ (backslash, opens small console in bottom of screen).' (single quote, works on UK keyboards).
The console in XCOM 2 can be opened by pressing one of the following keys on your keyboard (depends on keyboard layout):
If you have a shortcut on your desktop, or another location, you can instead add the launch option in the target field to that shortcut, and then the game will have the console enabled when you open it from that shortcut. Then launching XCOM 2 from the newly created shortcut will launch the game with the console enabled. In the properties menu add -allowconsole to the end of the target text box (with a space before), as is displayed in the below image:Īfter doing that, hit "Apply", and close out of the properties window. When in that folder, right click ModLauncherWPF.exe (it may display as just "ModLauncherWPF") and create a shortcut, see the below picture for help:Īfter creating the shortcut, right click the shortcut (not the original file) and click "Properties". First, you'll want to navigate to the location you installed the game to, which is probably at C:\Program Files\XCOM 2 or C:\Program Files (x86)\XCOM 2, then head to the following folder: Enabling the XCOM 2 console on non-Steam versions of the game is just as easy as doing it through Steam.
