Recently documented official fixes
The August 10 maintenance directive fixed several launch-build issues, including save data failing under some conditions, incorrectly displayed models, a Leader unable to leave the Office, and a quest objective count problem.
Earlier demo and Prologue updates addressed loading screens, crashes, UI behavior, item displays, tutorial flow, combat objectives, soldier skills, and other build-specific issues. Always match a fix to the date and build you are actually running.
Safe troubleshooting order
- Exit the game and Steam, then restart both before changing files.
- Install the latest official update and read its known-issue notes.
- Back up local saves before reinstalling or deleting configuration data.
- Use Steam's Verify integrity of game files action.
- Disable unofficial overlays or modifications temporarily and retry the same steps.
- Report the build, hardware, save context, expected result, actual result, and exact reproduction steps.
When not to use a random fix
- Do not download replacement executables or DLL files from an unknown guide.
- Do not delete saves because a post for an older demo build says to do so.
- Do not assume two similar symptoms share one cause.
- Do not present a player workaround as an official permanent correction.
