[V1.59 - Ground Combat] Shots going through walls. Doing damage and suppression.

[SolyomCsaba]

I have seen a couple of times that shots from Machine Guns/Scatter Laser/etc. can go through walls, and even suppress people and aliens on the other side of walls.

Guy with scatter laser near the door to the right shoots the Ceasan - damaging and suppressing both the alien and my specialist on the other side of a wall.

The selected machine gunner shot and killed the alien near the wall, suppressing the unit to the right, on the other side of the fence.

In both instances, the walls were undamaged, but the shells and their effects went right through.

Unfortunately I don't have saved positions for either of these events, closest ones were several turns away. But I think it should be pretty easy to reproduce (I've seen it 4-5 times during my 35+ hour time with the game).

Thanks. We've also seen this occasionally but we've never been able to reliably reproduce it, so we can't really figure out what's going on - even if we have a save where it happened once it usually won't happen a second time if we repeat the exact same situation. So it's very difficult to figure out what's happening and basically impossible for us to know if we've fixed it when we try a solution

I see, it is unfortunate that it is so upredictable bug... isn't particularly annoying luckily.

Also: great big thanks for fixing the AI hang-up in ground combat. That brought my playtime to a screeching halt a while ago, but now everything works just fine, and the game is great. Thank you.

Sometimes I see my rockets flying through walls (usually on on enemy bases or inside UFOs) and exploding behind them.
