Daohor, if you leave the 'unlimited resources' option ON when on the research or engineering screens, it gets squidgy. Just turn 'unlimited resources' off before leaving the grey market, and all will be well.

Hi CH,

First off, thanks for the awesome trainers.

Having issues with the editor lately. It was working fine the last few days. But just today, after an update from Steam (it was a steam update, not an XCOM update), both the editor and the game seem to crash.

Not sure what is wrong. Both crashes after I alt-tab out from the game to the editor.

Is it a "Framework" issue even though I have the latest version?

Please advise. Many thanks.

Maybe something with Steam's overlay (If you use it.) or the games stability with alt-tabbing in general, you could perhaps try setting the game to windowed mode just to see if that works better.
(Also for me when using both a trainer and editor it works best if I activate them with the game one at a time.)

Thanks for the suggestion. Went to try.

Except now the problem is I get a black screen when changing to borderless windows or a normal windows mode.

This can't be a Graphics card issue, can it?

I seem to find more issues with my com now... haha

The best way I have found is to set the game to fullscreen with a borderless window option. All my Valve games tend to run with -sw -noborder -w 1980 -h 1080 in the launch parameters. This only works on game that run on the steam engine but can be also done for other games if you fiddle about with the settings .ini files.

X-Com actually has this option to set the game FullScreen Window and then lock mouse to window. It is under Settings > Graphics >. You can then just tap the windows key and use the trainer/editor, a lot easier.

I'm running all games in window mode and for using an editor i suggest to do the same. Because you probably need to alt tab more often than using a trainer.

Thanks for all the advice guys

[Edit] Well, it still crashes on windowed mode. Sigh. But at least this time I get to play for an hour or so, with and without editor being switched on. It could be my system. Nothing to do with the editor. Thanks again.

When toggling the intro movies it asks for the steam folder, do you mean the game folder in the steam directory, or a certain file?

I would love to not have to wait through the intro but when I attempt to use the no intro movie option and choose the "steam folder" the editor acts kind of wonky and the intro still plays.

I DO LOVE the unlimited resources though.
