Meanwhile in Crash City

[Lyzak]

Good gods I've crashed eight times tonight on a single mission (data tap). It's like the more I try and push through the crashes, the more the game crashes. I seriously hope I've not somehow corrupted my save... I wish these crash reports told me anything informative.

What do I even do with this information...?

The error code points to NSURLErrorFileDoesNotExist:

And the trace log indicates various network activities.

Welp. It's a few days later. I went ahead and validated my game cache, nothing seemed to require updating though. Loaded up the mission again and insta-crashed a few seconds after loading. Finally decided to restart the mission entirely just in case that save was corrupted; got a few turns in and... wouldn't you know, crashed again.

I think enough is enough. I'm wiping all XCOM 2 files off my machine and I'll be back when these supposed 'performance updates' hit at the end of August with War of the Chosen. It's been fun, y'all.

Right off the top of my head, if you're getting a load error loading a save game, either a game file or the save is likely corrupted and the game can't finish and has recognised it. Can you load any other save?

I'd keep the save and remove and reinstall XCOM 2 and LW2. Then try loading the save. If you get the same error, it's likely the save is corrupted. Try any other save. Try making an new game, saving, and reloading it.

Saves loaded successfully, but crashed a variable amount of time later; sometimes a turn or two, other times after a few seconds of having loaded in. The crash reports yielded have varied dramatically (and I don't understand ANY of them), and my system gives me one crash report immediately after the crash, and a DIFFERENT crash report when I reopen ("Last time XCOM 2 quit unexpectedly, do you want to send a report?
