The 2K Games Forums have a list of the changes in a new patch for XCOM: Enemy Unknown that's now available to update the newly released installment in the counter-UFO strategy series (thanks Scott). Here's word on what this does:
We wanted to let you know the details for the PC update for XCOM: Enemy Unknown that went live today (10/11/12). I've included the notes on this patch below:
- Various visibility/hiding optimizations
- Multiplayer text chat support (press J to activate)
- Mouse button 4/5 will switch soldiers in the Barracks
- ESC hides the movement grid, if you do not want to commit to a move while it is activated
- Squad Sight ability optimization
- Fixed issue when equipping two grenades with Deep Pockets.
- Fixed Rapid Fire sometimes consuming too much ammo.
- SHIVs that are damaged will no longer become unusable.
- Fixed some hangs/soft crashes in tactical combat.
- Replaced software cursor with the operating system cursor to reduce lag and framerate dependence.
- Fixed rendering bug which causes some soldier’s hair to appear as if it is rendering on top of environment fog.
- 1080p movies are now used at all times on the PC.

I've had aliens hit me when they had no LOS, I was hidden on the same side of the door as they were (Ie, the door faces north, the alien is to the East of the door, one level up and hiding behind an air conditioning vent and I'm hiding on the East side of said door. NO WAY he can see me, OR hit me, I'm under full cover, and they fire and do four damage.)
LoS in this game is seriously, seriously, seriously fucking BROKEN. Basically it doesn't really matter what kind of cover you have. If you're in range of an alien's gun, it will fire at you and most times it WILL hit you.
This turns it into not so much a game of tactics, as a game of health management. I'm actually getting kind of irritated with it, especially since that kind of bullshit puts my guy back in the hospital for 10 days.
I also completed a mission and never got a "Continue" button, and the whole thing was basically just stuck. I had to end task the game. And then I had to replay the whole fucking thing. So now I'm just going to save right before finishing one, because that was really irritating.
I'm enjoying the game, but I play it for two hours or so, and then I get tired of the bullshit alien hits and I go back to playing Guild Wars 2. I don't mind the difficulty and I don't mind losing, but I do mind losing because an alien can fire THROUGH an air conditioning vent and through a fucking wall at a soldier he can't see, and put that soldier in the hospital for 2 weeks.
