[[25.1b] Mission type null on first cleaner mission]

user_day_4_manual_save-3.json

As per title really, the mission type shows as simply "null", save attached and screenshot confirmation. This is the first ever mission popping up.

[[v24.7] Small image "bleed" on ultrawide (3440x1440) post-combat loading screen]

1 hour ago, Chris said:

Yeah, that's the issue then. The expected screen size at 1440p would be 3413px wide, so there's an extra 27px of empty space that allows the bleed. The black background should fix it though.

Ah mystery solved! Yeah, it's not exactly 21:9, though that's also the most common ultrawide resolution, as this is where it really shines (smaller ones at that aspect ratio just don't bring joy as much).

Will check all the screens with the next patch.

[[V24.7] CTD on loading screen after mission (cannot reproduce sadly)]

19 hours ago, Chris said:

Thanks. Unfortunately as this is from the default branch rather than the Experimental branch, there's no info in the crash dump. Hopefully it'll turn up again at some point during V25 though and we can get it fixed!

Should be experimental, maybe I uploaded the wrong logfiles. Will have a look.

[[v24.7] Small image "bleed" on ultrawide (3440x1440) post-combat loading screen]

I am on 3440x1440 resolution.

 

If there is anything I can do to help debug, let me know!

[[V24.7] Squadron stuck hovering over base]

This is an odd one, I have my squadron of 2 interceptors stuck over my base.

I cannot make them land, or intercept, or anything, they just hang there for almost a month now. Attaching save.

[[v24.7] C4 grenade explosion way too loud]

My sound settings:

 

Everything seems to sound well, but throwing c4 grenades is extremely loud, I guess they may be ignoring the sound settings, or at least the sound effects volume

[[V24.7] CTD on loading screen after mission (cannot reproduce sadly)]

If you load the attached save and kill the last alien with the LMG soldier near it, it has once caused a CTD during the loading screen after. I tried few more times, couldn't reproduce it.crash.dmp

 

Attaching the crash dump, error and output log.output_log.txt Hope it helps!auto_groundcombat_turn_5_start-9.json

[[v24.7] Small image "bleed" on ultrawide (3440x1440) post-combat loading screen]

Heya,

 

Just a small issue, check the at post-combat loading screen you can see that there is a bit of "bleed" from the world map on the sides .

 

Btw I love how all the art is ultrawide friendly, not just going the easy way of black borders <3. It looks amazing!

[[V21.1 Ground combat] Engine noises are not in ambient sounds]

I have ambient sounds completly turned off, just want to hear combat, but those little truckies on screenshot still make a lot of noise, so I guess they are lumped with the sound effects category, which doesn't seem right. Screen of sound settings attached too, and pointing camera directly over those trucks causes the engine noise level to be deafening.

 

[Feature suggestion: Dropship storage]

17 minutes ago, Alienkiller said:

Yeah, Puciek, thats true. Haven´t noticed that since I have stopped to play the old X-Com-Games and did more playing UFO ET-Series, Phoenix-Point and similar new Games.

Still very common in xenonauts

[Feature suggestion: Dropship storage]

As old as the original ufo games are, and xenonauts proudly following suit, it is usually smart to over-pack your soldiers, and then on first turn drop the excess eq into a neat stockpile at the dropship. Stuff like more ammo, replacement shields, grenades, stun weaponry, what have you - just to give you more versatility while in the field. And fair is fair, well placed explosive by the aliens means that much more gear is then destroyed.

The process is tedious to do in every fight, so why not expand the dropship with some storage that you can put gear into at base (within some sensible weight/grid limits)? Same result, so no balance changes, just without all the annoyances that go with the current solution of over-packing and dropping. If this feels like maybe OP, introducing full load weight limits into dropship would be one way to fix it, although if the locker is op, so is over packing, but that now quietly happens, anyway.

[[V19.1] Settings reset on every start]

I wiped out my gamex/xeno2 folder just to make sure there are no lasting issues.

 

Then i start xeno2, I can hear music going, and it opens in a full screen as per default settings. I change those, and can see that display.json changes accordingly:

 

{

    "Fullscreen": false,

    "Display": 0,

    "DisplayWidth": 1920,

    "DisplayHeight": 1200,

    "DisplayRefreshRate": 100,

    "Vsync": 1,

    "TargetFrameRate": 60,

    "SSAO": false,

    "SSAA": 0,

    "GraphicsQuality": 5,

    "Brightness": 0.0,

    "Contrast": 0.0,

    "ContrastRedChannel": 0.5,

    "ContrastGreenChannel": 0.5,

    "ContrastBlueChannel": 0.5,

    "Gamma": 1.0,

    "CameraShake": true

}

Now I exit the game, the file is still as seen here, and then mooment I turn it on again, boom, it's reset to defaults, same with audio.json etc. Seems it just resets them at every start, instead of once. And I can reproduce it every time,

[[V19 Ground Combat] CTD on game load]

1 hour ago, Chris said:

Thanks. There was a bug (now fixed) in the build where the game would crash if you tried to load a save that contained a zombie - is that likely to be the cause of this?

Oh that would likely be it, otherwise didn't have such issues!

[[V19 Ground combat] Zombified soldier photo just dissapears from roster]

Soldier 5 was turned into a zombie and his portrait just dissapeard, and then when I kill the zombie, it finally turns into a dead soldier portrait. Is that intentional?

auto_groundcombat_turn_2_start-111.json

[[V19 Ground Combat] CTD on game load]

As per title, load the save, CTD happens. Sadly my output.log didn't generate

[[V19] Enemies stuck in doors]

This happens a lot in the first mission with the new enemies, they will end a turn on where the doors will close and hten get weirdly stuck in the door, where you have 100% chance to hit the door, but still see them. Grenades work just fine at disposing them :P

[[V18.2] Turns autosaves a bit messed up]

 

Because of a CTD bug (described in separate post) that I kept trying to reproduce my entire autosave from that base assault is just 5 slots of end of that turn, thus forcing me to replay the mission to try to correct the bug. Ideally it should simply replace the previous turn 5 end save then turn 5 ends for the 2nd+ time, thus preserving previous turn saves.

[[V18.2 Ground Combat] Base assault, CTD on end of turn (reproducible with save and log)]

Just load the save and press next turn, ctd every time. Resetting random seed didn't help either.

[[V18.2 Ground Combat] Walking in darkness of enemy ship]

I've noticed that somehow one of aliens was wandeirng in the dark portion of the ship, and sure enough when I sent one soldier in there I was able to walk around there too just fine. Something is odd! Screen and save included

 

 

It got weirder when I found the alien:

 

But then I just walked forward and was able to shoot and kill it

[[V 17.1 Ground combat] Corpses visible inside of ship (at night), despite not even seeing the ship + missing texture]

Thanks, and to you too maxm222. There's a whole bunch of issues to do with the shroud at the moment so I'm a bit reluctant to look into this one right now because I think it may get fixed when we look into the other ones. So probably one for us to check out once V18 is out.

No problem, thanks for letting me know! I won't report similar ones then, until at least few patches come in.

 

As for why imgur: copy/pasting images here in the past makes them tiny, or at least did in the past. Imgur keeps them raw and full

 

 

[[V 17.1 Ground combat] Corpses visible inside of ship (at night), despite not even seeing the ship + missing texture]

Picutre says it better than I possibly can with words: https://i.imgur.com/LlQBid7.png

 

And once I moved closer, the ship has rendered and corpses went away: https://i.imgur.com/wEgSNJs.png

 

There is also a lesser issue that after loading the game from save instead of glowsticks I am getting the purple texture as you can see. Obviously attaching save with corpses visible and textures gone, move towards them to unearth the ship.

 

If you need some other logs to track it down, let me know!

[[V15.4 Unusually long loading time & inaccurate progress bar]

Are you alt-tabbing, especially during loading screens? It may be observation bias, but I've noticed that the game doesn't seem to do all to well with alt-tabbing while in fullscreen mode, so I've resorted to borderless fullscreen with pretty nice success so far.

[[v15.4 air combat] Destroyer chasing retreating airplane out of bounds and killing it]

6 hours ago, Chris said:

Weird, I can do that even with your save loaded in a 21:9 resolution. Is there anything unusual about your input setup (or any other unusual hardware)? Or do you just have a standard keyboard + mouse?

Ok I've unplugged everything but mouse and keyboard (there is also VR plugged in but it's off, and to unplug this one would be way too much hassle) and sadly still no ability to scroll. I've checked with dxdiag, no other inputs left besides just the m+k. Tried windowed, full screen, full screen windowed etc, no luck with any of those.

I have whole cockpit worth of flight sim hardware plugged in so maybe it's getting input confused with something like the pedals or the yoke, or the controllers, or the MFDs... I will try to unplug it later on and see if that helps, though that is a lot of usb hubs to go through, so bear with me, i'll ping you when I had a chance to test it without them (later in today).

 

Either way, keys for scrolling will solve it for sure, and seems like more natural idea, and maybe some indication on the screen that it's scrollable?
