Xenonauts 2 News

• The random number generator seed is now randomised by default when you load a save, as the saved seed appeared to be confusing some players. Saved games will no longer play out exactly the same way every time when you load them, unless you manually deselect the "Reset Seed" checkbox in the bottom right of the Load Game screen (doing this is often important if you're testing to try and reproduce a bug).
  
• Fixed a crash at the end of Terror Sites and Landed UFO missions that would occur if the mission timed out while the dropship was in flight towards it (you can now just continue playing those saves).
  
• Fixed a crash that would occur if you were holding Shift while attempting to use a grenade or medikit.
  

• Reinforcements in the Cleaner missions now spawn less frequently - the initial wave of reinforcements still spawn at the same time as before, but now you have 5 turns before another wave of reinforcements spawn (previously this was 2 turns). This means fighting through the reinforcements to finish the mission should now potentially be possible.
  
• Fixed an error in the "Armour Destruction" tooltip that was making it unreadable.
  
• Removed any reference to "Closed Beta" from the game version to prevent confusion.
  

Xenonauts 2 is finally here, as the turn-based strategy game offers up a dose of classic XCOM in a Steam Early Access launch that appears to be doing very, very well. With a sale and a quick rise on the top seller chart, Xenonauts 2 is already looking a great success.

• Esc now skips the starting cinematic.
  
• The starting cinematic now correctly obeys the volume sliders.
  
• The Settings menu is now available in the tutorial.
  
• Fixed the game refusing to load at all if you had older saves from the demo or from old backer builds still in your save directories.
  
• Fixed a crash that could occur when using explosive weapons (e.g. the HEVY / grenades) beyond their maximum range.
  
• Fixed a crash that would occur if you added quotation marks (" ") to a soldier name and then tried to start a tactical combat mission.
  
• Fixed a crash when hiring new soldiers if you'd deleted the default Rifleman loadout.
  
• Fixed a crash that could occur if you built your first base in Greenland. As a temporary fix for various related issues which we can't address in a quick patch, you're no longer able to build a base on Greenland. These will be fixed properly in a future build, at which point you'll be able to build bases there again.
  
• Fixed an issue where players would lose all their manufactured soldier items if they lose an Abduction mission due to not opening enough of the containment tubes before the timer runs out.
