Nutbar Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) Sorry if this has been covered already, but I didn't find it. So, I rushed thru the game w/o saving/loading and did all the research ASAP cuz I want to try out lasers in combat. First of all, lasers work in combat, right? So, anyway, I finally saved after I researched lasers. I made some lasers, and then waited for a crash site. I got a corvette crash site, so I sent my chinook loaded with my laser guys, but on the ground mission loading screen, the game crashes after a few seconds. FWIW, I am also getting a lot of "fighter" UFOs, including one that shows up right after I launch my chinook. Is there any way to fix this game crashing? Is it because I saved? Thanks in advance for the help! Edit: Ok, I got it not to crash. I THINK it might be because I was sending an escort with my chinook, because I just sent the chinook alone with no escort, and it loaded the mission! So, I'm making progress at least! =P 2nd Edit: Hmm, well, I accidentally picked a plasma rifle up from a dead alien w/o knowing that crashes the game, so I'm back to square one. Lol! Also, I just tried sending the chinook solo again, but the game crashed again. Lame... I really like this game, but all these bugs are so frustrating. Argh!

Spectarz Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 remember this is still only Alpha, expect bugs galore right now including only half finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutbar Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 remember this is still only Alpha, expect bugs galore right now including only half finished. I know it's only the Alpha. I've just never played an Alpha before, so I'm not used to so many bugs/crashes. Anyway, I'm getting CTD consistently now. Is it because I saved with a crash site on the geoscape? Or something else?

Matthew Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I'll give it a try, thanks for the report nutbar. I'm trying my best here to find the bugs in release builds, but sadly I'm alone for a big project so I miss some things during the release tests. I made a test case for myself to sort out the major issues, but still the size of the game is bigger than me. But I'm glad we have an active community like you guys, and helping me out find what I've missed. Btw, you find the bugs frustrating? The alpha of HoMM6 was waaaay more frustrating :DD.

Gauddlike Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Some of the laser weapons don't work so well. Have you tried swapping out the laser weapons to ballistic ones to see if it crashes? If that works then try adding the lasers back one type at a time until the crash occurs again. I know the scatterlaser can cause that kind of issue at least.

winterwolves Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I get this with no laser weapons even researched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I was asking the OP, it is possible that you have a completely different CTD issue. If he can rule out the laser weapons it brings him closer to finding the exact bug causing his particular crash. If it turns out that the laser weaponry he has been working on has no bearing on this crash then you and he might have the same CTD issue. You need to rule out all the differences though before you can assume it is the same problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
