....there's a type of UFO squadron in the midgame that is impossible to take down without daisy-chained attacks by two full squadrons in sequence. And, even if you manage to do this obscenely difficult feat...
You say this alot, but I can down a 3 interceptor flight with 3 15 armor gauss phantoms reliably... 1v1 a Gauss phantom will beat an interceptor, split the engagement into 3 1v1s and it's simple.
Killing 3 of them with 2 5/15 Guass armor phantoms is... harder... but can be done. I suspect you are not dodging their missiles and that is what is causing you problems. Granted.. the game doesn't really tell you they have missiles, but they do.

anybody else noticed this? I'm getting a 50% accuracy with shotguns at point blank range, it's annoying when two guys unload 4 shots at point blank and hit nothing.

I think datacores in general are not triggering research at the moment.
-
not sure I have it anymore
. I believe it was the industrial map you get with carrier spawns, -
I've removed the actual items. The research projects should now unlock when you recover the datacore from the Landing Ship / Cruiser etc (i.e when you finish a mission where you capture one). Are they not unlocking correctly?
They don't seem to be, I downed >20 and never got it.
I also have downed carriers in the same game and only gotten fusion reactor tech (at least I assume that's what it is, the research box is ####), no tube launchers or armor from it either.
The trend seems to be that datacores in general are either not triggering research properly or they're somehow getting destroyed... the aliens seem very trigger happy in their own ships this build (trying to shoot through the walls)
-
Had a look through the files, and the armour item doesn't give the topic anymore, but it should be opening from taking the ship.
that is a negative for me. Unless I am not "securing" the ship in the games opinion by not visually clearing the 2nd floor, which never happens because all the aliens are on the 1st floor and bumrush you the second you come in range.
took a look through the files, apparently I am supposed to get alien launch tubes from the carrier? that didn't drop either.
-
That's not right, you should get the topic from just capturing a Landing Ship + (Cruiser + for alloy hardening). Did you get alloys from the ships?
Yup, got alloys from all the ships, even getting money from armor off of the cruisers, but zero research.
Also not getting any armor off of the carrier, but that may not have armor normally, idk.
-
Hmm not sure what I have done wrong but I applied hotfix 2 (launcher says V18.3 HOTFIX 2) started a new game, researched lasers made a precision rifle and still have no ammo to put into it.
the hotfix to fix it didn't fix it.
workaround is in this thread: http://www.goldhawkinteractive.com/forums/showthread.php/4769-v18-3-HF2-Geoscape-Still-no-laser-ammo-on-research
-
So directional thrusters are still not dropping, I've done ~20 landing ships and cruisers, no joy.
Also cruisers aren't unlocking alien armor research anymore, is that intentional or a bug?
-
Had a Andron carrier with 2 androns stuck inside the walls.
-
Was the alien alloy hardening drop removed from cruisers? I don't seem to get them.
Also I have never gotten directional thrusters to drop either, over the course of some 20+ landing ship/cruiser kills.
-
Just to clarify, this is a new game. And I did another new game after just to check to see if it fixed itself, it didn't.
-
As far as I understand, you need to start a new game.
Because the infinite ammo appears when you complete the research about laser weapons. If you did it before the fix, no ammo for you.
I did, brand new game. Still nothin
-
Chris, I'm still not getting any laser ammo with hotfix 2.
-
I'm still getting an empty box on laser research.

The manufactures.XML
In game the price shows as 750k now, but for whatever reason some part of the game still seems to believe it's 7.5mil
-
just out of curiosity does anybody know how to mod the price so we can get a workaround going? I tried simply editing the 1 line in the manufature.xml file but it doesn't work, game just deducts 750k and then tells me construction is paused due to financial issues.
-
basically any time I am getting an alien base it will disappear if any save is loaded after it has been discovered.
So like --> alien base found, game crashes, I reload from save after alien base is discovered, no alien base on geoscape.
-
I've tried simply changing the xml file, which does change the price that is reflected in-game... but then I get the message that XXX is paused due to financial resources and nothing happens.
fwiw I'm simply trying to fix the marauder costing 7.5mil (instead of 750k), after my xml change to the price the game will subtract 750k money but will pop up the above error... I figure I'm missing some edit somewhere.
-
pretty sure this is a typo and that it was supposed to be 750k
-
so far with the re-install I have had no incidents with the bug
-
I'll re-install I see if it crops up again
-
yup, normal smoke is causing a CTD
-
seems like the game is consistently CTD-ing whenever a sebillian gets stunned by smoke.

Dude, I took out a flight of 3 interceptors with 2 5 armor phantoms.. which you should definitely have long before they show up. I think I have 6-7 phantoms up at that point of the run.
You need to chill out a bit, judging from your posts I played completely differently than you in terms of tech progression and my panic levels are stable. What you see at day 166 in those screenshots is where it stayed in the run because I had the air war won, UFOs couldn't run up panic anymore. It's just not as broken as you think.
FWIW @Chris I would note missiles as a whole seem woefully underpowered compared to X1, but I withhold judgement as the game makes it very clear an air war pass is coming.
