That could also work, but Will would want to make modifications. A teleportation room, definitely; maybe some kind of locomotion; defenses and extradimensional spaces ideally...

The choice I had for my Sergeant Sniper was either Suppression, {which might have been awesome with the Plama Sniping Rifle}, or Rapid Reaction, {a second reaction shot if on Overwatch and the first hits}.  I don't know if I'd play with training roulette next time, but it certainly has been fun.

btw: I chose Rapid Reaction.
I bet the choice for Corporal was tough...
Snap shot is more useful in EW since they reduced the penalty down. Now you can offset it by adding a scope, and I've got a SS sniper who's actually very useful on maps without a whole lot of long sightlines.
He's using the Training Roulette. If I'm not mistaken, that's Run and Gun. It might be useful if one of the future advancements is Snapshot, but you can't determine that ahead of time now can you?

Hm. It doesn't seem any different from what I have on my tablet - but I hadn't played the Base Assault mission on my tablet yet either, so I might run into the issue as well.
I've no idea if it'll be any help whatsoever, but see if setting AllowD3D11 and AllowOpenGL to true will change anything. OGL sometimes tends to run better.
Also, try lowering the resolution, just for that mission. Like, literally push the resolution as low as it'll go, and play through the mission, then if it works out, put it back where it was. Cutting down on the amount of stuff the GPU has to draw might bypass the issue.
Resolution seems to be as low as it will go, by default.
I'll try allowing the other things. What do those options do, anyways?

<How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.>
<...That's your question.>

<it could be managed.>
<Good. What kind of resources would be needed?>

Magic Girl Base.

And yes, its normal name is just Magic Base. Kinda like how for a while the Justice League's abbreviation was the JLA.

<Hey, Yuri, I just had an idea. How hard would it be to make a teleportation circle? Oh, and Selina, could I invest your money some?>
<It depends on the resources available and how long you'd like it to last...>
<Negotiable, and permanent if possible.>

<It's your turn Bethany...>
<Ummmmmmm...Will, Truth or Dare.>
<Truth.>

Yuri is tapped on the shoulder.
"Glad you slept. Need help?"
((... how in the name of Shis'm Caes did Will get to France?))
Goddammit, we keep going to other continents. When Will actually gets the money to make that Magic Base thing, he's going to have entire rooms of teleportation circles.

Maybe including a big one for outsiders to use. Kinda like an airport terminal.

Actually, why should that be in the MGB?

Whatever happened to Angel's parents, anyways?

Cado, did that enchanty guy take an interest in them by any chance?

I'd first try to fiddle around with config files before you go and download any programs.

Firstly, what is your graphics card?
Um...is that like the video card you instructed me to figure out? That would be an Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000.

Second, if you navigate to your user documents folder, there in the folder My Games/XCOM - Enemy Unknown/XComGame/Config, there is a file XComEngine.ini . Towards the bottom of that file is a swath of general engine settings, under the header "[SystemSettings]" (search for it). Copy that settings block and paste it here, I'll try to see what you can change for the better.

Wait, did a night pass? Yuri slept, and then woke up?

Can she make a cell phone charger?

Grate nodded at Jim's explanation, although he had more or less guessed at most of the important stuff from his rant.

<Yeah... er... how about... Where are you from?>
If you can't tell, Tobias is now in a REALLY AWKWARD SPOT.
<Boston.>
<Shocker.>
