[zero] Remorse

Thanks for the link MrPyro I've read a lot of posts on that thread now, and I can see they have a lot to re-balance if they take that mission score out.... so I still think i'll give v20 a miss, and hope maybe v22 is better I just wish it was better now, cos I'd love a game of it again

lol, I like your style But i'll still wait til it's fixed before playing any more

But if there's no score, how can we progress through the game? Won't countries withdraw support if you're not successful? I played v19 right through to completion, but v20 seems to me to be unplayable cos of this, so I'm not playing it for now until this is fixed

This is known to happen if an alien spawns inside an object, or if one of your soldiers is under mind control at the time of the save. You need to go to the last save before the mission, so you can start it over again, with aliens spawning in new places (or go to an earlier save before any soldier is under mind control). I'm sure there will be other circumstances for crashing too, but these are the one's I know of

The issue of crash when shooting from an elevated level is known, as is the alt-tabbing problem where the mouse cursor becomes offset. With the changing of a soldiers role, there are issues known about this, but I'm not sure exactly about this one. Did you right click (that crashes) or left click? Would be good if Goldhawk people commented though

Sounds like the bug that happens after alt-tabbing to windows?

Ah that makes good sense vaultdweller. I did like the original for chrysalids in that they had massive TU's, so could walk a long way (from outside of visible area) and then convert a soldier - which was pretty significant. In Xenonauts, they're not so bad, as they can't walk in from a long way off and convert - they just seem to walk in and stop and then wait to be killed by my soldiers the next turn - not hard, so long as soldiers stay in teams, and preferably have a sniper nearby

Nice workaround zerkeron, I'll have to remember that one

I haven't tried ur savegame (although I hope Goldhawk find it helpful) but I also had lock-ups after pressing End Turn when in the starting area. Some times it would come good in 10 mins, but some times I left it for over 8 hours and still showing "Hidden Movement". Always fixed though by going back to a savegame before landing at the alien base, I guess so it regenerated the aliens' positions. Possibly related to the bug where aliens could spawn in a wall or other object.

I think this is a performance issue, which they seem to be leaving until later (although I would think addressing this issue may introduce many bugs, so surely would want to fix this while as the code is being developed and tested, but I am no developer, just a QA expert ). You wait until you do the larger alien base missions - that REALLY slows down!

In the original you couldn't use an alien weapon until you had researched it - much better idea.

I too just finished the "final mission" - found it much easier than most alien base missions. Took around 12 turns, and took out both power generators with 4 soldiers going into each one, and the other 8 (Valkyrie) heading into the palace. Killed final Praetor in a single shot from a MAG sniper (how anti-climactic!) and then figured I had to walk everyone through the opening at then end of the palace (no door was there). Never saw any reapers. A bit let down after finishing the mission, then get normal debriefing screen, then back at Geoscape as if nothing happened, and the game all continued on as normal. Operation Endgame link was still there, I still got to research more stuff, and UFO's still kept coming. I understand it's a work in progress, just sharing my experience and observations EDIT: I played v19 Stable Hotfix

I may have a possible cause for the above happening. In researching, I skipped Plasma Explosives and instead went straight from Allenium to Fusion. Maybe that's why the upgrade didn't happen correctly? I have now just completed Plasma Explosive research, and thankfully, although the Xenopedia text says it applied the "upgrade" when I already had fusion, it didn't revert down to Plasma, but kept the Fusion equipment. Hope that helps?

Rotten luck there! It's good save games work, most of the time I believe this door issue is a known bug, might happen if the door has been damaged in battle. Also, I know the door won't be opened if the tiles on the other side are occupied. I second your suggestion of bringing up soldier equipment screen when a base defence mission starts. I think that happened in the original.
