Hello all, Attempted eery fix scenario out there and nothing. Verify Files also does nothing. When I click "play" the message goes "Updating Executable" then "play" returns to green... Any official position on a fix?

so i decided to play again but when i launch i just get that in steam. Any idea how to fix? Edit: so it seems that it has been solved as it works for me now and im assuming everyone else. Good work spreading awareness guys. Hopefully it means we can now not miss that 95% flank shot...

For those still looking for a way to resolve the endless "updating executable" what you need to do is install the game and let the game sit down for it to cool down. Whit your pc on. For a few hours / days. I am not in fact, joking, this the most reliable way to fix the issue that we have here.

Why can't I play XCOM now Firaxis/T2? Do you ever do any kind of integration testing *BEFORE* you roll out updates (to your stupid launcher) that break the software of your customers?

Why on earth would I say anything positive about games from devs that break what I've paid for? Go forth and give an honest review, people need to be warned. If they fix it, I'll change it. But I'm not giving any positivity to a company that breaks what I've paid for and then just ignores it....
