On the balance side, Firaxis are making the Mimic Beacon - a hugely powerful item - less powerful by increasing the price of buying 'em and by making it so, when deployed, the mimics can't take cover and will always be hit when enemies shoot at them. You'll find plenty of tweaks aimed at improving performance, a combination of technical fixes and settings changes like reducing the resolution of high-resolution shadows. This 400MB download is "the first major patch", Firaxis say, and the patch notes make it look that way. If you are someone who had bigger problems. The new 'Zip Mode', which trims a lot of the dramatic pauses and delays in combat, sounds great. Even as one of the lucky folks who hasn't had many problems with XCOM 2 (I mean, aside from when I had the final mission turn into a colourful glitch-o-rama), I'm glad to see some of these changes. Firaxis have released a big ole patch for XCOM 2, aiming to improve everything from performance to balance.
