[V7.21.6 - Ground Combat / Game suddenly started crashing at 90% on load screen every time]

10 hours ago, TheAmazingRatboy said:

Description:
I was trying to load a saved game to pick up where I left off in a ground mission and the game crashes at 90% on the loading screen.

What Happened:
I was playing an alien abduction mission vs cleaners and some skittering 4-legged thing. The save games for the ground mission have suddenly stopped working. I can load the very start of the ground mission, but I can't load the last turn I was on. I can't load manual saves, nor can I load autosaves. I can load the geoscape save prior to the battle just fine, including the pre-battle autosave.

Further information:
I am playing a brand new game on version 7.21.6 so these are not old save files and they are not in the old directory (or, at least, they shouldn't be).
Please find attached logs, etc.
No mods are installed.
 

Thanks for the report! This is a known issue that should be fixed in a future patch

[[7.22.2 - Ground Combat] Hit calculation]

On 5/10/2026 at 7:21 AM, Shotcrete said:

I don't quite get how the hit calculation works, in the following example:

 

I would expect: (100+20+8) * 1.10 * 0.80 - 40 = 128 * 1.1 * 0.8 - 40 = 140.8 * 0.8 - 40 = 112.64 - 40 = 72.64 = 72, but it's 70.

Interesting, I'll bring this up with the rest of the team

This has happened three times in a row. Whenever I try picking up the Ballistic Rifle from a fallen squad mate. I have tried it with different squad members and get the same result.

[[7 - General] Can bypass ufo delegation cost by not returning to base]

On 5/9/2026 at 11:01 AM, Shotcrete said:

I'm playing extended mode, but I noticed Perun was able to do three ground assault missions of a certain UFO type without paying OP cost by sending the drop ship directly from one crash to another without returning to base.

Maybe it's not worth patching since it's rather difficult to pull off, especially if your squad is injured. Keep it in as an advanced tactic.

Yeah, probably not worth patching out as it is relatively minor but I'll bring this up with the team and see what they think

[[7.22.2 - Geoscape] Fusion rockets described as plasma rockets.]

On 5/9/2026 at 9:35 AM, Shotcrete said:

The vehicle research for fusion rockets is titled plasma rockets. I vaguely recall seeing this elsewhere too, maybe the aircraft fusion rockets? Also, it's comparing with conventional rockets instead of the upgraded Alenium rockets.

Thanks, we'll get it fixed

[[7.22.2 - Ground Combat] Smoke not spawning on water, around obstacles, or in air]

On 5/10/2026 at 9:09 AM, Shotcrete said:

No smoke in floorless space? My poor MARS is nicely visible if the Psyon steps forwards a few paces.

Ah well, in this case it is intended as it is empty space (same reason why smoke does not propagate on empty spaces on higher floors)

Yup, this will be updated on 7.22.3

Hah, yeah I guess we can replace the doors on these. Although the fix will have to be on a far future patch as replacing the doors will break all save games using that building type.

[[V7.21.6 - Ground Combat] - Soldiers starts running from starting point multiple times if their paths are crossing]

15 hours ago, vasiliev said:

When you want to move soldier and his path crosses other actively moving soldier, he will run to the destination and reset his position to starting point, after that he starts to run again

I was able to reproduce it and created short video. Here I have clicked 2 times onto destination because he didn't want to run. But before this incident I was able to click 3 times and he ran to the destination 3 times in a row. Pretty funny bug though

Thanks for the report! That is a bizarre one. Do you have a save that we can use so we can try reproducing this on our end?

[[V7.21.6 - Ground Combat] Dead guys still standing]

7 hours ago, Oldsmobile said:

I've run into this glitch twice.  A stunned soldier is revived, he stands up with zero time units.  End turn.  During enemy turn, enemy kills the newly-revived soldier.  The now-dead soldier remains standing.  In the screenshot below, the dead soldier is circled in green.  I can't select him.  (Actually, there are TWO upright dead soldiers on the same square because both were revived and killed over a few rounds of combat.  This glitch, HOWEVER, has happened with one soldier, so I don't think it's caused by simultaneous occupancy of one square.)

Question: When there were two soldiers simultaneously stunned on the same square.  I was able to use medikit on one soldier, but not on the other.  Is there a way to use medikit on the other soldier during the same turn?  When I tried to do it, the medikit would not apply to the second soldier.

The actual gameplay leading up to this problem was rather comical.  I was trying to save a stunned soldier and foolishly sent others to his aid.  Needless to say, it ended up with the whole squad dying.  Lesson learned: There is no shame in abandoning your comrade.

Thanks for the report! Do you happen to have a save for this mission that we can use to try to reproduce the bug?

Description: CTD when picking up a pistol from dead body.

What Happened: Shield troop was low on ammo, so I was grabbing another gun for its ammo from another shield troop that had died. Game lagged and when I clicked the close button the game crashed. The screenshot taken in bug report does not show any of the other stuff on the ground such as the shield, dead body, gas mask, etc. I was running with advanced options with extra aliens and this was towards the end of the terror mission. Specs, resolution, etc. in the bug report zip file.

I loaded an autosave of an UFO interception. It loaded into geoscape with my Gemini/Phantom/Phantom squadron tailing a cruiser with 2 defenders. I clicked on the squadron and then clicked "engage tailed UFO" which immediately crashed the game.
Repeated the same thing later that day and no crash happened

Can you try switching to 7.21.6 and see if it still crashes? It should be fixed by updating the game

[Can't sell items or save the game]

On 5/4/2026 at 3:36 AM, BCool said:

When I tried to sell items it didn't bring up a confirmation window and I couldn't complete the sale. I was able to exit the screen by hitting escape a few times. When I then try to save and quit (ironman save) again a confirmation window didn't show up, so I wasn't able to quit or save the game.  Edit (I was able to save and quit after I started a tactical mission)

Interesting, looks like I can't reproduce the bug on my end. Does it happen again if you load into an older save in your campaign? Or did it only happen once? I'll attach an older save below.
