Fixed in 1.5

I currently play on two different devices. I have them both pointed to save/load from a dropbox folder. My laptop successfully saves and loads from this folder, but my desktop does not. I've started the launcher, gone into save game location, selected the folder, and hit okay. I save a game and it shows up in my documents. I start the launcher, change to a different folder, change back to the dropbox folder, hit okay, and it still saves in my documents. I already verified the game integrity through steam. At this point I'm considering an uninstall/reinstall. Anything I should send you guys or try before I do that?

How will this work with the v22 or whatever the last was before the official 1.0? Are you just going to update the legacy branch again?

I like this idea....but expand it into combat. Same as you recover alien craft, maybe they attempt to recover your planes? Figure out what you're doing so they can counter it. Then you can send in a team to recover the plane and fight off the aliens. That might even give a setup for a tug of war type battle where the objective is in the middle and whatever team holds it for X turns wins

I don't like the idea of the invulnerable escape etc. I do have one point though....you already have an emergency escape button. How about you press that button when you think your plane is in trouble and then it'll attempt to escape like you want. Depending on the situation it may or may not escape, which is realistic.

Is it possible or will it be possible to fly multiple charlies together? I would imagine this would be difficult to balance against and it would be rough on the UI but I would like to see something where I've got two dozen personnel sweeping the field. Just a thought

Already backed, looks awesome!

@solver points have been turned down, they probably haven't rebalanced the ratings to accomodate that fact. I noticed a build or two ago that you had disabled the basic training or whatever it was that let pvts get up to cpl or so. Why did this change, and is it going to change back? I liked it for when I lost a couple guys on a mission gone south

@ xanoxt, I would guess the save files are located in different places. find the desura/xenonauts/saves files and copy them to steam/commonapps/xenonauts/saves or something similar. OT: how do we opt-in to the experimental builds? Usually under properties there is a Betas tab you can look under and say yes to Betas but that tab doesn't exist for me. Is it just not enabled yet?

you have no idea how happy you've made me!!

I am okay with this situation because like Flashman suggested, you could add in text that says you're piecing together parts from the funding nations. Obviously the later tier planes will still need to take a while as you're presumably doing more/most of the manufacturing yourself, but for the lower tier(s) I have no issue with a plane only taking a couple days to put together since most of the stuff is pre-existing material from the funding nations.

I would absolutely love a steam key, I am not a fan of desura and my internet is spotty so I can never completely download a standalone before the system decides I've got a network error. Here's hoping they get the keys out quickly so I can move on from playing 18.3 lol

Agree with all three parts. Can't wait for full Steam ahead!

downloaded the premium fine, haven't battled enough to speak on the AI though.

ah, my apologies. When I heard issues with desura I figured it was getting the file to them in the first place, not how they distributed it through their client. I've only been using the standalones at this point so I thought it was desura in general that was causing the issue

yes and no. we're using standalone builds but they're still hosted by desura. I just have not been impressed by desura overall and am looking forward to the transition to steam.

any chance you could somehow host on steam but not have it for sale/visible yet? That way we could test to see if it was desura by checking it against steam builds as well?

I haven't been able to muster the airforce to take down a cruiser so I've been playing cat and mouse with one of the landing ones. I finally got a chinook there while it was landed and proceeded to have a long and arduous battle with the ship. Having finally killed all the hostiles, I found in the combat summary screen that I did not receive points for capturing the ship. I blinked at this, but figured it was a bug. However, upon return to the geoscape, the cruiser was still there, and flew off shortly afterwards. Is there a reason clearing the ground of the hostiles doesn't let me capture the cruiser when it's landed?

I can confirm, just had this occur. 18.3HF2, single enemy fighter vs single f17

For the two missions where you are sent to take care of a UFO that the local forces killed, both have no aliens on the ships. Also, the ships are marked as undamaged on the screen. Also on my first regular scout shot down, I got reaction shot'd through the door of the alien ship. are there gunnery ports or is that a glitch like when you could see through the door? Yes I verified the door was up, I could not go through and I had to trigger the door opening in order to proceed into the ship.

just got a fresh download from Desura. the two gimme missions have undamaged ufos but no crew

Desura downloader doesn't have v18 yet, you have to follow the link in OP and use the standalones

My 17.9 Desura takes a while to load as well. Occasionally if I hit play two or three times the loader will run. However, when it loads it immediately crashes. What data do you guys need from me for this?

The Buzzard scout armor has like engines or something attached to the shoulders. Does this have any actual effect in gameplay? Or is it just a lighter suit of armor? The xenopedia article for it wasn't done last time I checked. Anyone know if it does anything?

I like what OP is getting at but I don't think it's feasible. I would like to see the ability to traverse poles, but that opens up a whole can of worms to the point that I just don't think this is feasible.
