[V25.0.0 - Double glass doors still a problem]

I can still see but not fire through the glass doors circled, though they can fire at me.  This makes this mission super frustrating. 

[Reclaim Teritorry you lost should be possible but to balance this..........]

I second this motion. 

 

[v4.9.1 - Abductor doors and wall issue]

The last one isn't a bug - the wall screens are scenery weak points. 

 

[[4.8.0 experimental - tactical] Glass door blocks the aim 100%]

Yeah this has been an issue for ages. Like since before even Milestone 1. Though now it seems that it doesn't affect MARS any more. Just soldiers. 

[V4.8.0 - CTD from Engineering.]

I was trying to build a quantum lab and the game became non-responsive, then CTD.

Thanks for the bug report! Strange, tried loading your save and it seemed to work fine on my end. Just to make sure, is this on 4.5 or 4.6?

If it's on 4.5, can you post the generated bug report file? When you relaunch a game after a crash, a prompt should come up to generate a bug report zip file. Would very much appreciate if you can drag and drop said file here

It was 4.6.0 but it didn't generate bug reports

 

[V4.5.0 (rolled-back) - Combat mission terrain issue]

Here is another example.  God knows what's going on here lol.  It looks like the teleport pad from level 2 is showing in level 1, but I can't make matey go up there. 

Also of note, this mission is really struggling and janky but there is no excessive use of system resources. 

[V4.5.0 (rolled-back) - Combat mission terrain issue]

The selected soldier can't move through the squares in front of him, and the route-planner takes him around as shown

[V4.5.0 (rolled-back) - Combat mission terrain issue]

If you look at the picture, the crosses mark some areas that I can't move troops onto.  There are a couple of others behaving the same (all inside the UFO).

Is this on 4.6.0 or 4.5.0?

We just discovered a bug with the save loading in 4.6.0, using older saves and fixing it now.

 

I think it's actually 4.6.0 (all my posts from today must be 4.6 ~I didn't realise it had been updated)

 

[Milestone 4.6.0 REVERTED! (Experimental)]

When will 4.5.0 be on the Steam server?  I just fired up the game and it's still 4.6.0

Ignore this - it updated shortly afterwards

[4.5.0 - CTD at the end of the first mission]

Actually, I can't load any of the save games at all....  They all crash on loading.

[4.5.0 - CTD at the end of the first mission]

This crash is repeatable btw.  Also, this crash happens if I CTRL-Shift-V end the game at the start of the savegame  attached, or even the first one. Something is really broken in this latest patch cos this must be the 3rd CTD bug by the end of the first mission. 

[4.5.0 - CTD at the end of the first mission]

auto_groundcombat_turn_6_start-11.json

CTD after completing the mission. There is no crash bugreport so I've attached the last savegame and logs

[4.5.0 - Loadout screen - CTD with lots of red text]

Note, there are no autosaves - the game had only just started. 

[4.5.0 - Loadout screen - CTD with lots of red text]

There were some visual errors (such as two weapons shown in the weapons slots) then I couldn't unload stuff from the backpack... when I tried it crashed to desktop

I can't load any save games.  They get to around 80/90% and CTD.

Did you mean to attach a picture showing which wall can be destroyed and which one can't?

Fixed

[4.5.0 - Can't blow through UFO wall]

Just a minor one, and not sure if actually a bug, but I can't blow through the wall shown, but can blow through the other one.  You used to be able to blow through both.

[V4.3.0 Aircraft screen - armour option has disappeared]

1 hour ago, Chris said:

 

Did you start this campaign in 4.0.0, or is it a fresh one? I tried to fix this bug in 4.1.0 or 4.2.0 but I'm not sure if the fix will have applied to existing campaigns.

If I start a fresh campaign the armour does seem to be available for the Angel in unlimited quantities.

I think I started it in 4.0.0 or 4.1.0.  I didn't bother restarting since the releases came in quite quickly and going straight back to the start is a bit of a PITA lol.

[Milestone 4 - Experimental Balance Thread]

@Chris I have 4 so far:

1. I swear the chance-to-hit with any of the stun weapons is WAY lower than it claims in-game. 
2. I'm convinced the training facility isn't working
3. The rescue mission reward of three crap soldiers isn't worth it. 
4. The ambush mission is a turkey-shoot. 

[V4.3.0 Aircraft screen - armour option has disappeared]

I've just built this phantom but the alloy armour (all armour in fact) has disappeared from the options.

[Armour penetration vs destruction]

OK so let's consider a worked example: 

Say a sectoid has HP 60 and Armour 30.  

A hit with a laser rifle has HP kinetic damage 40, armour penetration 0, destruction 8.

A hit with accelerated rifle has HP thermal damage 40, penetration 5, destruction 2.

To work out the final damage (assuming the shot is taken from the same spot and has an equal chance to hit):

1. what difference does kinetic vs thermal damage do (are there different stats per alien?)
2. in which order are the destruction and penetration calculations done?  i.e. the penetration damage is done first, then the remaining damage accounting for the armour, then the destruction.  In which case the accelerated rifle does more damage on the first hit, but lasers do less on the first hit, but then deal increasing damage on subsequent hits. 
3. Is there any other modifier that affects damage like where you hit them?

[Idea for tech tree & armour module]

For protection against alien energy weapons, can there be some sort of "Room temperature-stable, mouldable superconductor material" of some description that can create an armour module for troops, vehicles and planes that specifically reduces the effect of hits from energy weapons?
