Athena Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Somehow two of my Iron Man games have now become unplayable due to the fact that the game seems to freezes at ground combat loading when almost finished. If I click anything I hear the sound of the clicking in the background as if I was on the map but nothing else. The first game I started ended on the first mission whilst I was able to play the second one for a month before it started occuring. Idk how to fix this, I have tried reinstalling, admin mode, deleting maps + tiles etc.. please help. My save game is attached.

Solver Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Looks like some ancient version of the game. So first try updating the game to a current version, preferably the Community Edition (and even better, change to a Steam copy). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will attempt using the Community Edition and return but it is a steam version of the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solver Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Really? Looked to me like it's 1.5 but guess I got that wrong. I hope the Community Edition works - it fixes most loading problems as far as I'm aware. Let me know if it still fails and I'll examine the save in more detail, would be interesting if some problems still remain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 Just tried the community edition, same problem still stops at a certain point and refuses to load more, I really want to play but not start another Iron Man and redo the first month with the risk of this happening again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solver Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 That's definitely unusual! If you start a new game, it won't happen again - sounds like the save got corrupted by the vanilla game, and X:CE doesn't corrupt saves like that. But don't do that just yet, I'll take a look at the save. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solver Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Wow, this save really is like Swiss cheese in digital form... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 Alright, I will make a new game in the community edition, a shame though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solver Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Yeah... try X:CE for a new game, it should be far more stable. Ideally not Ironman though. The line-of-sight info in this save seems badly corrupted, I cannot quite manage to fill the gaps in what's missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 Alright, thanks anyways for the help It sounds like the save file is corrupted to hell from what you are writing, I guess it would be better to avoid Iron Man and just not load the game.

Solver Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Playing with X:CE is much safer, but yeah, I still suggest avoiding Ironman so you can have multiple saves just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
