I have one guy with a laser shotgun with a clip in his bergen. However, he doesn't have the option to reload his weapon. auto_groundcombat_turn_3_start-159.json

I think a "healing grenade" is too far fetched and sounds a bit naff lol

I'm talking higher like 70-90%. I have had 4 or five troops take a shit load of shots (like 10 in total) with >60% chance of hitting, from well within range (even standing a few squares away) and they have all missed. In this situation I get super pissed off and just Ctrl+Shift+K the bastard in a pique of rage.

Now I have played a bit more of this playthrough, I'm gonna say the early missions are FAR too hard. I just did one of the cleaner dockyard missions and it was HARD, even with cheating and on "Soldier" difficultly!! The MIB dudes were well overpowered and there was loads of the blighters. And that was before the cleaners turned up.

I agree with Skitso; that early in the game when your troops are useless, it's a bit tough especially for newbies. Not sure if it's a bug but I swear even when there is a good chance to hit they miss nearly all the time. I know it's probabilistic but something seems off

CTD from geoscape without warning. There isn't a save immediately beforehand so maybe the issue is in the logs (I was building a gauss pistol I think, or maybe a shotgun, and was researching a live mentarch). There is a save from a few days before the crash which may or may not be useful. After this save and the gauss being unlocked, I started making a load of gauss weapons and started researching the mentarch. auto_strategy_after_combat-92.json output.log

I just close them immediately and turn them off. Something kinda weird did happen this playthrough though; I can't remember exactly what, but two opened at around the same time and I couldn't close the first one for a while.

@Chris given that over a certain number of troops, the training rate goes down, could we turn off those troops who won't benefit any more so that the junior ones can be brought on quicker?

So I have attached a save where I have two phantoms and an angel with alloy plating in Africa and N America. I have tried every possible combo of laser lance/accelerated cannon and alenium missles/torpedos, and yet two fighters and a destroyer (which shouldn't be too hard) swat them away like flies. Like, totalled... every time. I always use auto-mode because I hate the minigame (personal preference, so no shade being thrown). I mean, maybe losing one and heavily damaging the others might be acceptable, but either the phantom needs upgrading, they need to pack more of a punch, or the UFOs at that level are too overpowered. user_take_yer_pic-11.json

I haven't been able to develop any sort of stun weapon yet (you can usually develop them really early on). Has the tech tree changed??

After arriving, the loading screen stops at 90%. I am able to reload the save immediately before the mission (that says "How should we proceed?") which does stop for a while at 90 % but does eventually continue. Therefore the save may not be any use, but the logs may have something in there. output.log auto_strategy_before_combat-17.json

I didn't get a CTD, but did get a load of red text. I have attached the last save of the combat mission. auto_groundcombat_turn_2_end-31.json

^This!

I've noticed this a few times in the latest iteration of the game and assumed it was a feature of the game (albeit an annoying one lol).

It's still showing V27.5 It'ss t

There doesn't seem to be an update on Steam? It's still V27.5

CTD from geoscape, repeatable. Just keep going forward at full speed and it will always crash a few days from this save. Also, can you take a look at the stores? I have too much stuff but when I sell things (alloys and alenium) even selling 10 of them only sheds 1 unit of stores. The numbers don't make sense. user_about_to_crash-25.json

I don't have recent ones I'm afraid. I've attached a few for you to play with user_day_211_manual_save-22.json user_day_168_manual_save-16.json user_day_125_manual_save-11.json auto_strategy_before_intercept-141.json auto_strategy_before_intercept-136.json

I think the air battle balance is WAY off at the moment. I can send up three Phantoms armed with fusion torpedos and missiles (with maybe a gauss cannon thrown in) up against a single medium UFO and they usually lose miserably. I have never won against the three UFO Interceptors or wherever there is a main UFO with an escort. This happens whether I auto-resolve (my preference as I don't like the minigame) or try the minigame where I come off even worse.

See pic - I can't read the info about the Alenium missile

So, the healing rate of the phantom really needs looking at again. It is, what, 5% a day? It's quicker to build a new one!!

@Chris I'm still getting memory leaks even in the latest hotfix...

Or you were premature....

I'm sure you wanted save examples of this? Alien is dead but on loading is giving all "come at me, bro" vibes user_day_87_crash_site_manual_save-6.json

A win's a win!
