3. Open XcomEngine.ini
4. Search for the following and change their setting accordingly, if any of the settings already are as in this guide, just go to the next one on the list.
Find bUseTextureStreaming and make sure it says “bUseTextureStreaming=True”.
Find bUseBackgroundLevelStreaming and change it to “bUseBackgroundLevelStreaming=True”
Find “MipFadeInSpeed0” and change it to “MipFadeInSpeed0=0”
Find "MipFadeOutSpeed0" and change it to "MipFadeOutSpeed0=0"

Well, only in my personal opinion, they're stupid and ugly games that i don't play! Not on Window, neither on Linux.

I have the game, bought it for running on ubuntu 15.04, but the game closes suddenly always. Some times after just opened it, sometimes after 20 min. I have emailed to techland 3 times and the only answer i've got is: send me your logs and we will contact you.
