So viewing a few more of Eurogamer’s YouTube videos on XCOM2 I found that there is an easy solution to survive the insane and ultra long load sequence after a completed mission.
Just click CAPS LOCK on!
It’s really that simple and it has really helped me from tearing my keyboard apart while waiting for the load to be over – though one could argue it is NOT a load sequence if it can be skipped by pressing a key. But if that is the case – what the heck is it then.
Word of advice – find the right timing to click Caps Lock! I found that clicking it at the wrong time leads to the full sequence running. I click when the zoom in sequence has reached the point where you have 2 soldiers on both sides of the screen.
I guess CAPS LOCK is king sometimes?
