Moving out of bug reports. OP, you're welcome to contribute to the existing thread on this in Elevated Bug Reports. We very much want a savegame where this is consistently reproducible so we can review the code where it's taking place.

Some mods can cause this to happen more often. Mods like Lifetime stats, Mod Config Menu (never had it happen to me) and a few others. I removed Lifetime stats and it seems to of stopped it. Its a memory leak issue. (Probably)

It's not a LW2 bug... I used to get this in vanilla as well, pretty much since launch day. The entire game was so buggy to begin with that it would have made a Bethesda coder cringe. It was also, IMHO, complete crap. I think I had less than 20 hours logged into it before the LW2 mod came out. It's pretty much the only reason I reinstalled it, and now I'm actually having fun.

If anything Pavonis' efforts have made it more somewhat more stable. At least now I can usually break out of these situations with a quick delete of the config folder and a reboot. Before LW mod it was goodbye savegame, time to start the whole mission over. What was once game breaking is now just a minor inconvenience. I call that a step up. :D

I believe this bug is due to a memory leak, I've had extremely high memory cost for XCOM2 whenever this happens.

Really more stable? I used to be able to run XCom 2 on high models/textures rather well, now on lowest settings its the only game that make my fan go so hard. It recently went into a higher mode than I've heard it go before until i turned off lw2.

The only other mods i have active are perfect info,
Overwatch all, evac all and one other of the approved mods... anyways lw specifically runs really bad for me.

Ive had this in vanilla a while back but havent seen it since then... I dont think there was a solution to it. A game reinstall might help, thats what i did last i had this (i think, dont remember, was some time ago)

Have also seen this with and without LW2.

In Evac missions I just made a habit of saving just before extracting the last soldier. On other mission I save once I feel the mission is close to its end.

I don't play ironman obviously.

Wow, totally opposite with me. Since LW2 everything is much faster.

I am still using Mod Config Menu and I haven't had the avenger bottom since I shut off lifetime stats. I think it might be ok? I just saw that others on the Reddits had issues with Mod Config.
