[v 17.1 Ground combat] Soldier stuck in the texture.

[MrAlex]

After the start of the battle, I noticed that one of my soldiers was not moving. Looking closer, I saw that it was stuck in the texture.

Restarting save before combat does not help. It still appears in the texture.

To avoid such situations, the player should be given the opportunity to position his soldiers before the battle.

Yep, that I had too in a earlyer Version. I think it was Beta 14 (dosent remember the Version), which was exactly the same Issue. But with the next Hotfix it was gone.

Thanks. You shouldn't need the ability to position your troops before the mission starts - if the game was working correctly, all your soldiers should spawn on the light tiles.

Something is clearly going wrong though, so we'll take a look.

EDIT: actually, @MrAlex or @Alienkiller (or anyone else that sees this), a couple of code changes we made recently mean we can't easily open that save file. We'll keep an eye out in the playtesting to see if we can reproduce the problem ourselves, but if you notice this happen in a future version then please report it again and it should be easy enough to fix.

The problem is still present in version 17.1

It happens if I place a soldier in the cell marked in the screenshot.

Aha - thanks, that's a good find! I'll get that fixed.

I had it too, but not in the position of the soldier on the above screen but one tile to the left

That´s the same Problem we had on the old Maps too.
