2K Community Coordinator DrCane has posted up some info on the 2KGames forums for the second XCOM: Enemy Unknown patch. Details below.

Thanks for all the feedback you guys have provided here in the XCOM forums. We here at 2k Games and Firaxis have been listening to your comments and are preparing a patch that will be releasing soon on all platforms. Exact date is TBD, but we will let you know as soon as we get word.

Here are a list of changes that will be included in the patch.

Major Fixes
• Abductor roof visibility problems resolved.
• Interception game hang issues resolved.
   - If two interceptors are sent after UFO.
   - If Skyranger is returning from combat after an Interceptor was already deployed.
• SHIV inaccessible issues resolved.
• AI Alien Activity Hang resolution.
• Multiplayer connectivity optimization.

Other Fixes
• Temple Ship optimization: All Soldiers properly spawn when restarting the mission after clearing the second room of Temple Ship.

Again, thanks for all the feedback and for being super patient as we prepare each patch for release. We are always monitoring the forums for issues and will post as soon as we get official updates.

Updated:
Adding my reply to the defeat screen issue here so its more visible. This is NOT confirmed to be fixed on the upcoming patch.

Defeat screen after beating game Firaxis is currently aware and researching this issue. We got a couple save files (thanks to you guys) on Oct 22nd that they're looking at. I'll let you guys know as soon as I hear anything about it.
