I've used v16 stable build in the past but had stopped playing for a while and waited for more patches/updates for this game.
In the past I only experienced crash to desktop or the game will stop responding but I was able to close the game off with task manager or alt F4.
I've just updated Xenonauts to v21 stable today and I've been experiencing system lock ups only while playing this game, my keyboard becomes unresponsive and there is no hardrive activity and the music is looping over and over.
There is no pattern to it ether.
The first system lockup I experienced was at the main menu screen when i first launched the game and had to reset my computer, I assumed it was my firewall and turned it off.
The next lock up happened when I was on my first UFO mission on the battlescape (about 5 minutes into the mission) I selected a soldier and pressed( I )to look at his inventory and the game locked up my system again.
I tried a third time and reloaded my auto save and tried the mission again and all was good until I was at the base management screen and I was replacing injured soldiers from my squad when i clicked on an injured soldiers name and the game hanged again.
This is happening randomly for me and I can't reproduce it.
When I used V16 I was able to have gaming sessions for a few hours without a crash and no system lockups.
Now with V21 I play for about 20 or so minutes and my computer completely locks up and need to be rebooted.
I've looked at event viewer in admin tools and nothing out of the ordinary is logged apart from this message
"The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."
Anyone know of a fix for this or is experiencing similar issues????
