I, too, am still getting the lock up upon killing the last alien. haven't tried just capping the UFO yet. Usually have to kill all the aliens before getting to the cockpit anyhow.

Apologies. I noticed my error shortly after I posted it. It was only a few posts down, no less. Feel like a goober. Even then, all I see are bugs on it after the first few turns, or in the middle of the mission, with improper AI coding as the culprit. This happens at the very end, after all aliens are dead, so would AI still be the reason? Or would it be from trying to load up the new info into the geoscape portion of the game? It seems like a great game so far, and I look forward to more of it. Provided I can get past the first 15 minutes of it. *Grin*

Pretty sure this is 8.5 anyhow. Just got the game a few days ago, and eager to see everything it has to offer. Went into do a ground mission to recover a crashed alien, fought my way all the way through with no troubles, but at the very end, after I kill the last alien, it freezes up on the "Hidden Movement" screen and refuses to do anything else. There's no progressions possible without recovering tech from ground missions, but I'm unable to proceed past a Ground Combat mission. I've started numerous new games (Had a few where I couldn't get into the spaceship to kill the last alien, due to the placement of the crashed ship), and each time I'm able to go all the way through, as soon as I kill the last alien, it freezes.
