[[v19 experimental hotfix1] aborting mission when saving]

I can't change the thread title but I'll try to conform to forum rules from now on.

[[v19 experimental - ground combat] soldier LoF blocked by open open door]

I've noticed the 0 chance to hit while shooting through an open door too. As soon as I step into the room the chance goes up to 70% (for snipers). It might be only a display issue since most of the time I hit the target despite the 0% chance.

[[v19 experimental hotfix1] aborting mission when saving]

Hi,

Saving game during a mission actually aborts the mission.

To reproduce do the following: click abort mission, chose no, then click save game, pick an existing savegame and confirm. At this point the mission is aborted.

To make the issue stop quit the game (exiting to geoscape is not enough) .

Another interesting thing, if after going to abort menu you save on a new slot everything goes as expected.

Sry, for some reason I didn't notice there is a forum section dedicated to experimental builds.

Thx for answers and moving my thread.

[Experimental Build V19 Hotfix1!]

As much as I understand the emotional value of the "hidden movement" screen for x-com fans, it is simply a terrible game mechanic.

It's intrusive, breaks game immersion, and most importantly it is completely useless; a simple box beneath the "alien turn" text that says "(hidden movement)" would work so much better.

I'd like this too. Just because it was in old x-com(s) doesn't mean it has a place in a remake. Music + instant deaths were the source of the tension.

[[v19 experimental] bugs]

Another thing I've noticed, when loading a savegame some (possibly all ) damaged or broken walls, floor tiles are intact.

Curiously a barrel I destoyed was still destroyed but the wall the aliens brought down while shooting my soldiers was now back up.

[[v19 experimental] bugs]

Hi guys I'm playing v19 experimental and encountered the following new bugs (at least i didn't read anything about them):

Medikits start with 1/50 charges, don't heal wounds and seem to heal only 1 hp or so. Does anyone know how to avoid or fix this ?

When trying to build a new airplane without an empty hangar there's an alert window that keeps popping up. The alert window informs me I don't have an empty hangar and keeps popping up after I click ok.

When trying to load a mission savegame during a mission the game crashes. Quiting the savegame then loading the savegame from geoscape seems to work.

Aliens in ufo keep shooting the ufo walls although they don't see my soldiers (and they never did)

[Is there a way to download development version on steam ?]

Well, not exactly on dev's computers. This post mentions an experimental version that might not be stable or balanced but is the latest thing.

However, Steam allows users to opt-in to different branches for a game that they own. We will allow users to opt-in to our Experimental branch, which will contain the newer releases that have more features but will be less stable. We can upload, patch and mess around with builds on that branch without ever affecting the stable branch. This is where we will go through the numerous iterations to reach V19 Stable.

This will be the best of both worlds - people who just want to play the game don't have to put up with crashes, and those who want to help us test can access the new features as soon as we release them.

The only disadvantage is that you will need to be on Steam to get access to the experimental builds...but there's no way around that, I'm afraid...

Hi,

I'd like to try the latest development version but I don't know how to download it using steam.

I tried right clicking the game and going in the properties menu but I couldn't find any beta or switch version option.
