Thank you both for the replies. I forgot to mention in my OP that I do run the game in 1600x900 so I'll try to run in a lower resolution and see if I can get Windowed Mode to work. Would be just for the sake of experimenting though as I'd prefer to run in 1600x900 but good to see you both agree with me cause this confirms what I posted as a real problem and not just something on my end. Thanks again.

Unsure when this feature was first implemented and unsure if its been reported before but I did a search on the whole forum and couldn't see that anyone has yet reported it. First I'd like to say I have two monitors connected to one video card and usually have my web browser in one monitor and whatever games in the other, so if games allow for "Windowed Mode" then I can always move my cursor back and forth between monitors and games remain open. I noticed in Xenonauts the option on the initial game launcher for "Windowed Mode" but if I select it then launch the game then the game is not windowed because of a few reasons. First is it won't allow my cursor to move outside the game screen and there's no way for me to make it happen. So if I alt-tab then if the game was Windowed then it would remain open while I activated another window but Xenonauts automatically minimizes upon my alt-tab and I can't figure out how to make it remain open by me accessing any other window. Not a big deal but just letting you know.

This same thing happened to me. I walked into a barn that had stairs in it and I walked one of my guys to the bottom of the stairs and from there I couldn't figure out how to see the next level above him. I clicked the little buttons on my control panel where it should have allowed me to see the next higher level but clicking it didn't do anything. So trying to have my guy move "UP" the stairs only made him stay on the ground level and he actually moved into the stairs.. or his 'graphical presentation'? moved into the same space where the stairs were. I'm thinking the real problem is the game won't allow me to see the higher level so I can't designate a place for him to move to.

I just had the same thing happen again. I had (luckily) saved my game prior to my previous crash, so I loaded from there and went into another ground battle and once I landed I saved from there, then the ground assault went all the way to the end. Each time I'm only finding one alien on each ground attack (and they're always in the same location of the map?) so I went to where I knew it would be and once he was dead, then on the next "Hidden Movement" the game locked up and never recovered. I'll try a few more times from the last save I made (from where I landed) and hopefully I can get my next save to happen once I'm back to base. ** Update: I did try a few more times and the only way I can proceed in the game is to save often, but the over all game has now locked up several times and always during "Hidden Movement" and its making it very frustrating. If there's any suggestions anyone can offer then I'm cool with trying anything. Also, on a whole other topic but why do nearly all the smaller UFOs I destroy no matter where I shoot them down it says they all crash into the sea? Even if I'm clearly over what should be land they still fall into the sea.. sucks cause I wanna go investigate those guys. I'll look for another thread to post this on but it was fresh on my mind. I'll stop posting comments on this problem for now. With as many other people posting then I'm sure the devs are aware there's a significant problem.

I just now registered to your forum mainly to report that this just happened to me. I have the latest Xenonauts build (from Desura) and just now played through one ground mission where I shot down the UFO then proceeded to investigate the crash. All went well and I killed the alien, then recovered a plasma gun, some alloy and the alien body, then made it back to my base and set some scientists to study the alloys and the gun, then the next ground mission the UFO just landed on the ground so I sent my forces and upon landing they made it through one turn then on the 'hidden movement' there seemed to be alot of civilians running around cause I could hear their footsteps for maybe 1 or 2 minutes then the game just locked up and I never recovered it.... I'll look through the forum and see if there's any better ways I can offer support for bug testing or if anyone knows of any then please email or PM me.. Thanks.
