The game froze on the hidden screen at the point where the last alien in the ship was blown by a grenade and then during hidden movement ran into fire on the ship. I could hear the alien die, but the game stayed frozen on hidden movement even though the last alien died. A second point to note is when loading out soldiers at the base, the buttons to cycle through the soldiers seemed sticky, laggy. Eventually the next soldier would come up, and the changing load out (adding grenades, ammunition) was not affected. But clicking the button to view the next soldier did not immediately cycle to the next solider. There was a noticeable lag to the point that I at first thought the screen had frozen.

Thanks! I just bought the game and after reading on the Steam forum I came over here. I'll read the stickies to get this right.

I changed the screen resolution slightly, but I doubt that had any effect. At any rate, I started another game and managed this time to get into a tactical battle. After a half hour of play, the game CTD in the middle of another tactical mission. This occurred when, after tossing a flare that bounced off a wall and fell at a trooper's feet, I selected the satchel bag to see if I could retrieve the flare (didn't want to illuminate my own trooper at night!). As soon as I attempted to click on the satchel, I had the CTD.

Since the update yesterday, I get a consistent ( 3 X in a row) CTD when a crash site battle loads. It crashes just before the load completes, right where the music becomes more ominous at the end. This is with a new game I started with the update. I started another game since then and had the same CTD in the same situation. Can't get into any tactical battles at all now. I'm running Win 7, 64 bit, i7 intel, 8 Gb RAM, NVidia GeForce GT 650M with latest drivers.
