How to unlock the Immortal Commander achievement in XCOM 2 - Definitive Guide

**Comments have said this critical problem is now addressed, haven't personally tried another legendary run since I got the achieve when the problems were still there. Guess I'll leave this for posterity**

Not a solution but a warning of the inevitable limitations of A xbox1 Legendary difficulty run, I never had this game breaking problem with Commander difficulty.

When playing on Legendary it obviously takes longer to do research and avenger timers and you can eventually progress to a point when your save file become so large that you can only have about 20 saves and the mission loading times are a few minutes minimum.
You will then go through 2 stages:
1. Not long after noticing this you'll get back to the avenger and be unable to save or go the the geoscape because it glitches to Xbox home. This is a temporary problem because you'll be able to reload your last auto save from a mission wait for it to reload to the avenger then you can finally save again.
2. A few missions after this you cannot save or go to geoscape after a mission at all despite reloading the last auto save of your current mission.

Spent a lot of time putting off story missions by just doing the random facilities that pop up whenever the countdown for the avatar project went off. Got my team completely loaded out (shred storm cannons). Took a long time getting every continent and very very late game when I was finally ready to start finishing up the main story missions I got to a point where I could no longer save my game at the avenger or go to geoscape even after a reload of my last auto save for a mission. Tried reloading my few remaining old saves, skipping missions and just trying to finish the last few story missions to end the game quick but nothing allowed me to progress past whatever my next mission would be.

Reloaded my last geoscape save that actually allowed me to get to the geoscape and just let the avatar project finish. I got to 7/4/2036, 58 missions deep, 835 aliens killed, 48 hack rewards, 15 scientists, 17 engineers, built 14 radio relays as well as collected 12 294 supplies and 3 705 intel.

I realize I probably stretched the game pretty thin and I enjoyed doing it because I get to play more of this game I love before getting all achieves, but it also put a damper on things so I hope to help others from being off put by similar experiences.

On my 2nd legend run through (before the update and DLC) got to the "unable to save after a mission but able to reload n save" phase at 11/07/2035 . While keeping only five save files at max.

I also confirm that the game did this to me. I had to reload the previous mission and finish the last turn and wait through many long loading screens. Also the Xbox would crash if I went to the Bridge or tried to save. I just had to keep repeating this till it worked.

The achievement didn't unlock for me when I beat it on legendary yesterday. I tried reloading a save and still nothing. Any suggestions?

Just a note that I believe the bug is still happening. I am now in the middle of my Legendary playthrough, and until yesterday it has been fine (long mission loading times aside). After a very long and difficult mission yesterday though the exact thing described here happens - the game crashes once in Geoscape and trying to access the bride. This is with only two manual saves in addition to all the auto saves. :(

So I take it that I should turn off autosaving and just make manual saves, in general?

@TheBigBB Autosave may quit working, but it doesn't create any new problems, so there isn't anything gained by turning it off.

When I played a couple of weeks ago on Legend/Ironman, the Geoscape crashes got so bad, I thought I wouldn't be able to finish the game. I found that by proceeding as quickly as possible through the end of mission screens and hitting the Geoscape immediately, I was able to proceed. Then I could back out of the Geoscape and do my commander stuff and it wouldn't crash when I went to the Geoscape the next time. I don't know whether that's a fix-all workaround or whether I just got lucky.

Bit late to the topic mentioned above, but I sort of have a solution, my game crashed all the time, I learned that if I tuned off auto save before I finished a mission the game stoped crashing, this resulted in never being able save on the globe manually either.
This allowed me to turn auto save back on dur8ng missions only, I just completed my legendary play through reaserched everything and unlocked all bonuses, this was done on standard xcom 2 deluxe digital copy

Has anyone played this game on the Xbox One X? I was wondering if this is still an issue on that console.

Same thing just happened to me at the end of my Ironman run.

Edit: 4 hours later when I was playing another game it pops up, thankfully.

wow, this gets as buggy as hell.

Basically at this point, the AI don't even move during their turns anymore.

I just spent the last week getting this tough achievement. Other than 4-5 game crashes over 40+ hours, I didn't have any issues saving or loading. In the end, I had about 40 saves (1 save after every mission - interim saves during a mission and the auto saves were deleted after completing each mission to keep save files to a minimum).

I can confirm that towards the end, the game gets very glitchy. The save files get very large, so that you have to delete 5 old saves to make room for 1 new one. Auto-save often quits working. When you end a mission and endure the very long loading screen to return to the Avenger, 99% of the time, the game will hang the next time you go to the bridge. I recommend always doing a manual save as soon as you return to the Avenger, BEFORE you go to the bridge, otherwise you'll have to replay your last turn and wait through the long, long loading screen again. This problem has happened to me on other playthroughs, but it gets worse the longer the campaign goes on, and Legend is the longest campaign.

INFINITE TURN GLITCH
Works in base game only, it does not in War of The Choosen.

Achievement is quite easy with infinite turn glitch. This glitch works in standard and Ironman playthrough, on any difficulty.
To make it work you have to save game short before you finish last move of your last character after which normally enemy would have his turn and then load that save. You will still have your turn while enemy looses his.
Just be carefull with few exceptions, enemies who transforms from other forms or pop up can still make their move so watch out when you want to trigger them - this applies for Andromedons, Chryssalids and Faceless.

Using this glitch you can even go for all below achievements in same playthrough:

Legend is the hardest difficulty in the game. The tutorial is automatically disabled on this difficulty, enemies are stronger and have more health, plus resource costs are higher. In addition, the game is significantly longer. In order to unlock this trophy, you must play through the entire campaign on Legend. Changing the difficulty mid-game and then changing it back, will negate this trophy!
