Chris Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 This is a small patch for Build V9.3 because for some reason I forgot to re-compile the .exe files before I released the build, so they are a bit out of date. This should: - Fix the game starting in a window and skipping the launcher. - Fix a bug where the game crashes if you open your inventory above an alien corpse (as the alien plasma clip images were incorrectly set) - Add a new image for the Alien Alloys research.

Pinetree Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Any changes to strings.xml? I'm hoping I can get away with not updating my mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Pinetree - yes, there have been some I'm afraid. Drakhon, no, that's not normal. You've encountered a known bug I'm afraid, the game sometimes locks up in the Hidden Movement turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) Got a wierd bug in 9.3 where after manufacturing a bunch of MiGs resulted in in having 0/20 technicians unassigned after the run was done. Is that due to the exe's being out of date? Basically no technicians availible unless I hired more.

Hellstormer Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 So is 9.31 up or are we waiting for Desura some more? I'm getting 9.3 now finally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonie Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Na, still waiting for 9.31. 9.3 is no good, only window mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoonFlare Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Desura is annoying. I had to wait for almost 1 hour for it to install 9.3. 9.31 is now available but i think it will take another hour to install:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The New Romance Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) And when will them Australians fix it? Probably not today anymore, as Google tells me it's about midnight there... Edit: I'm sorry, I did them injustice. It's already there. Edited April 17, 2012 by The New Romance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 It's authorised now. It's only a 7mb patch, V9.3 was 300mb. Shouldn't take long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thothkins Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I know we have a "how to download without desura" thread, but where on Desura is the update button? I see a little star thingy that says updates, but when I go there It tells me there's nothing new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 After opening Desura go to the play tab that lists all your games. There should be a circle made out of 2 arrows othe left of the text "ready" in your client. clicking that should update your game. If you cn't see that circle your game is probably already updated. (the splash screen should say 9.31) If you are not useing the client you can't update but will have to download the whole zip again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Thanks Gorlom. When I go into Desura and then play I see my Xenonauts game. There are no arrows, circles or arrows forming circles. I get a 'ready'. On loading the ready, it comes up with 9.2. There is a little star thingy for updates. When I press thay I get to a screen that allows me to refresh updates. I do that and it tells me there aren't any. Deep joy in downloading the whole thing again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoonFlare Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 This is the most stable build so far. Doesn't crash at geoscape in july-august anymore. Corvettes are annoying, but still pretty easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 The game is updating, but has been at 0% for half an hour. Has anyone else had this problem? Full story so far... logging off of Desura and back on gave me the little arrow thingies. So I press to get an update. Then I get a large server error message then it tells me the game is ready again, as in already downloaded. Needless to say it's still 9.2 I log back out and back in again. The game is updating, but has been at 0% for half an hour. So much for getting a look at 9.3 tonight. Not enjoying my Desura experience in the slightest.

drakhon999 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Dam it. 5 minutes and locks up on hidden movement. I was on my first farm map too. Dam it. same here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The New Romance Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 The game is updating, but has been at 0% for half an hour.Has anyone else had this problem? Yes, Desura updates are kind of fishy, at least for Xenonauts. For me, they do show up as they should, but they take forever to verify/check/whatever it does. For me, it often sort of locks at about 50%. It does eventually continue, though, but it's always strange. One time, I hid the update progress window (or maybe I closed it) which made the whole process go awry. I had to fully uninstall and reinstall Xenonauts to get the newer version, because another "update arrows" just wouldn't show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 It invariably fails the first update attempt for me, so I just verify the files and then it updates properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 thanks for the support guys. Following on from my last post, it's been constant errors in validating files. I've reset my router, allowed Desura access to ports, tried all of the updating options and changed firewall settings (only for desura I hasten to add)... My conclusion is that it continues to be a very frustrating experience that I've only perservered with because of the ease of getting quick updates. I think I'll just uninstall it entirely and go back to full downloads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
