[V12] Lots of suppression causes crash

[Gorzahg]

I shot the MG twice at a crouching caesar (had suppressed him for 2 turns before) and it got out the game

I saw a CTD after one suppression burst and one normal M16 shot at a Sibellian.

Got into range of a Sebillian with the Ferret armed with a .50cal. Shot the Ferret at the Sebillian. The Sebillian didn't make the dying noise, and the game instantly CTD'd.

I try not to double post, but I now have a series of steps I can show to reproduce this bug.

1) Started new game - went through base setup. Equipped all soliders with machineguns.

2) Shot down first UFO (UFO only has one alien - very suitible for testing!)

3) Found alien and shot at alien with any machinegun-armed solider.

4) When the blue S appears above the alien, the program freezes for a second, then CTDs.

I've tried these steps three times now. It works each time.

Excellent work on the steps. I'll try your steps tonight and if it works for me as well I'll mark this one as repeatable.

[Max_Caine]

The caveat to this is I have found it doesn't CTD if the shots kill the alien. It only works if the alien is suppressed by a machinegun (to the best of my knowledge). And the machinegun can kill oh-so-easily. You might find it useful to crank the damage done my the machinegun down so you can test it.

I can't tell if it is killing them or not. It always crashes before the bullet reaches for me.

[Comassion]

Also you can try messing with suppression values - turn the MG suppression way down to 0 as well as the damage and test with that, then turn it way up and see if it triggers a crash in one shot.

had this in my game. Sebillian suppressed by m16 trooper, second m16 fired and missed (assume added suppression). MG trooper fired, game locks up before hit... eventually drops to vista "program has stopped responding, problem details:

It might be that 2 x mg burst suppressions > buffer; 2 m16 + mg > buffer... 4 m16 shots > buffer??

i was trying to shoot a hole in a fence with a precision rifle out of the back of the chopper. the xenonaut shot the inside of the chopper instead of the fence and it resulted in half my squad being suppressed quickly followed by a ctd.
