[[7.0.0 - ground combat] - crash to desktop after completing first UFO crash site mission of campaign]

Description

Crash to desktop after completing first UFO crash site mission of campaign

What Happened

1. Was playing first UFO crash site mission of campaign (a scout UFO crashed in farm biome)
2. Won mission by alternate victory condition (taking and holding UFO for 3 turns)
3. Game displayed "mission complete" banner then crashed to desktop

Further Information

Symptom is similar to the crash experienced when completing soldier recovery mission. Interesting that a similar crash can occur in other ground combat mission types, not just the special soldier recovery mission.

 

Please see attached bug report zip generated from this crash.

edit: same as observed for soldier recovery mission, attempting to load any of the autosaves for this mission also causes the game to crash when the loading bar reaches 90%

Thanks, we'll look into it and get it fixed asap

Description

minor - text readability- cleaner SMG tooltip text for hit bonus wraps awkwardly

What happened

Noticed while playing first ATLAS base mission of campaign. The cleaner SMG has a "2.5%" hit bonus, the extra two characters of the ".5" bonus combined with the new point blank info seems to make the text description wrap & partly overlap the lines of text above & below.

 

 

 

Other information:

The hit bonus text layout for the standard xenonauts ballistic menu (pistol, rifle, shotgun, machine gun) do not have this issue.

resolution: 2560x1440

Thanks, we'll get this fixed

[[7.0.0 Experimental] Heavy armor tooltip error]

On 2/14/2026 at 2:56 PM, Skitso said:

Effect ,9x -> should probably be 0.9x
 

Also, description fails to mention reduced accuracy. (Adding additional armour increases the protection offered at the cost of increased weight and reduced accuracy)

Also, the accuracy penalty isn't shown as a red segment in the accuracy skill bar as in earlier builds.

Thanks, we'll get it fixed

[[MS7 experimental] Minor text issue]

On 2/15/2026 at 1:51 PM, Skitso said:

Two issues:

1. As the infiltrators are introduced at the beginning of the game, the objective update states that the doomsday will now be increasing daily. It's actually been increasing +1 per day from the beginning.
2. Infiltrators increase Doomsday by +0.5 per day, not +1. 

 

Thanks, we'll look into this

 Wrong color debris (brown) Other container colors are correct.

This is nice, thanks for taking the time to take a screenshot of everything (and categorizing per bioe). This helps me quite a ton! And as always, thanks for the report!

Hello,

I have issue, that when I try start the game it allways crash during loading.

Thanks for the report! You might need to manually delete the entire game, I'll outline the steps below.

- Once the install directory is located, uninstall the game in Steam.
- Once game is uninstalled, delete the xenonauts 2 folder
- Go to Documents/My Games
- Delete the Xenonauts 2 folder
- Once everything above is deleted, reinstall Xenonauts 2

[Weird audio cut off on linux]

17 hours ago, tolmeister said:

Hi devs I ran into a weird bug, here are the details:

Platform: Linux (Pop!_OS 22.04 / Ubuntu 22.04 base)
Proton version: Experimental (also tested with GE-Proton 8-30 and Proton 9.0)
Game version: Latest (as of Feb 2026)
Hardware: AMD Ryzen APU + discrete AMD GPU (no NVIDIA)Bug description:
During alien base assault missions, all audio cuts out completely after entering the mission map / loading the tactical layer. In-game sound disappears instantly.
System audio (YouTube, Spotify, browser tabs, desktop notifications) also stops entirely.
Sound does not resume until the game is fully exited (alt-tab or minimize doesn't help).
After exiting to desktop, audio returns immediately (no need to restart anything).

Reproduction steps: Start a new or existing campaign.
Trigger an alien base assault mission (the bug seems exclusive to base missions — regular ground combat and geoscape audio work fine).
Load into the tactical mission map.
Audio cuts out within seconds (both game and system-wide).
Exit game → audio instantly returns.

Happens 100% of the time on alien base missions.
No crash, no error popup — game continues normally (just silent).
PipeWire is the sound server (default on Pop!_OS).
Workaround: Run systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse wireplumber in terminal mid-mission to restore sound without exiting game.
Not happening on geoscape, regular missions, or non-base tactical fights.

This command restores my youtube audio: systemctl --user restart pipewire pipewire-pulse wireplumber 

Thanks for the report! Can you send us a bug report when this happens again? Pressing F11 will prompt the game to generate a bug report, which should give us some idea as to what's going on.

Thanks for the report! Your comment describing the bug happening after loading the save has allowed us to reproduce a case for the unpathable pegasus walls. It looks like the walls become pathable when you load an existing gc save. We'll look into it and figure out what's going on, thanks again!

Apologies, the version is actually 6.31.1. The combat was newly generated in 6.31.1. The bug could not be duplicated today on a port tileset.

[[6.31.1 - Air Combat] Crash on intercepting a UFO that wasn't revealed on radar]

On 2/2/2026 at 1:59 PM, PeterRibbit said:

I sent an interceptor from Base 1 to a squadron (2 interceptors) that was seen on radar at Base 2. In transit the signal was lost but I told the interceptor to maintain course. When it got to the approx. intercept point, it intercepted and destroyed the squadron before a dialog was generated about the squadron being detected. After the squadron was destroyed the "ufo detected" window appeared and I clicked "launch interceptors" thinking it was a separate UFO. The game crashed, presumably since the detected squadron was already destroyed and I told it to send planes to fight it (again).

Crash reports attached, presumably the report generated twice but uploading for completeness.

Soldiers can see, run, and shoot through Pegasus walls. Also external floor features seem to carry in through the floor. This is on an arctic map type, I'll keep you updated on if it carries over to the other map types.

In the original first game the Lightning had the same problem with unintended exit points, so it's fun to see a faithful recreation.

Hello there, thanks for the bug report! Just to make sure, was the ground combat mission here newly generated in 6.30.1? We made a few changes on the pegasus a few patches back to fix a bug that will cause an issue if you loaded a save from an older version of the game.

[[6.31.1 - Ground Combat] Smoke grenade behavior inconsistent]

7 hours ago, PeterRibbit said:

I had a soldier throw a smoke grenade over a hill in a desert map, to land on the edge of the hill at a low % but on detonating it didn't generate any smoke at all. I reloaded and confirmed it wasn't a flashbang or other kind of grenade. I haven't been able to replicate that bug, but I did find another oddity while testing:

Smoke grenades thrown to level 2 product smoke only on level 2, while smoke grenades thrown to level 1 will produce smoke on neighboring level 2 areas as well. While this might be intended behavior (smoke rises?), it may also be a bug.

To replicate this, have a soldier throw a smoke grenade onto a patch of elevated ground and also onto a patch of low ground near the elevated ground. The smoke grenade on elevated ground will only generate smoke on elevated ground (left), while the smoke grenade on low ground will have its full effect (right).

Thanks for the bug report! The first issue (smoke grenade thrown not generating smoke) is an issue that we've also encountered on testing last week, we're working towards figuring out what's causing said bug.  For the other bug (smoke not propagating to lower levels when thrown on higher elevation), I'll have to double check with the team as I'm not sure whether this is intended behaviour or not.
