XCOM: Enemy Unknown Patch

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 wonder if they patched out the bug where the death cam shows your trooper losing their hair when they're blown off their feet and die? Not sure if it is a Nvidia thing or the game... but it is funny. They get hit so hard they're killed and their hair is knocked off the top of their heads. It reappears again in a few seconds but it still takes away from the full effect of you losing a soldier you're attached too.

edit: Has anyone else had the patch screw up their saved games? The game no-longer knows what order the patches are suppose to be in. I know it was just past midnight when I finally had to stop from saying just one more mission. So this evening I just tried to boot the game, had to let it patch, and came here to see the nightly news. After I noticed the patch had been finished I booted up the game and noticed the save it loaded was not the mission I was on when I finally threw in the towel this morning....
