Hey how do I skip animations!

Speeding up animations is something that we have (and still) look into, but it’s not as straight-forward as it may seem.

In the Firaxis XCOM, as soon as you click to confirm an action, the game has already rolled all of the dice and already knows all the outcomes. It knows if you unit is going to be spotted, spot something else, activate a pod or trigger an overwatch. Much like taking a shot, the outcome is known before you even click to fire. The animations are purely cosmetic, and can be speed up or skipped with no effect on

In case you missed it… There are a few threads on this topic… In short, there seem to be some technical constraints for this.
