Elim Garak Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I created a base and somehow got into a state where no soldiers could be hired - I could hit the counter and the system would increase the charge, but the number of hired soldiers would remain at zero. See attached screenshot 1. Then when I tried to increment the worker counter, it updated the soldier counter as well - both the number of soldiers and workers to be hired incremented, but I was not charged for the soldiers. They also didn't get hired when i did this. See attached screenshot 2. Finally, until I used the start new game & then load the existing one, I couldn't get more soldiers to hire.

Chris Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Thanks. Just to check, this was a new game and this was your first base (the one you build at the start of the game)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elim Garak Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 This was not a new game, but it wasn't my first base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okim Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I noticed that when you hire engineers soldier count is also increased. However if you hire soldiers - that counter switches to blue, but never grows. It still allows you to select the exact number of soldier you`ve clicked when you hit the hire button. This is my first base on a fresh game. Also on 1280x1024 i can`t see the numbers correctly. They are misplaced. The same goes for research screen and engineering screen.

StellarRat Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Thanks. Just to check, this was a new game and this was your first base (the one you build at the start of the game)?I had the same problem. I couldn't buy soldiers. I could click the count up, but no soldiers were listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 On a new game, with the first base, I could click the solider counter but it did not count up. I got the solider hire board, with a list of soliders to hire from. After hiring, the solider counter correctly showed the current number of soliders with total soliders breakceted behind the current number.

LeftyRighty Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I've had the same problem as Okim... when I hired more engineers the numbers of soldiers went up between the up and down arrows, they didn't have any cost associated with them, and didn't appear to be counting towards barracks space. When I hit hire I got the number of engineers i had order sent to me, and the soldier number reverted to the actual number of soldiers I had... so it just looks like a display/counter issue. First base (2 others had aircraft but no barracks), about mid first month... doesn't seem to affect scientist hirings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 It should be fixed in the next build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stx Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 It should be fixed in the next build. The bug is still there in version 13.2. In my repro it was a new game, first base. Clicking on the increase technicians button both the technicians and the soldiers number are increased. Clicking on the increase soldiers button only the wages amount goes up. After a reload, clicking on hire soldiers, the soldier list is empty... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mano Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 same problem here. have got plenty of space (2nd living room with 44 beds left). clicking on hire, there's no soldier name in the hire list. changing the technician slider would have the soldier slider change but without any effect. - first game - first base - build V13 (31 july 2012) (alpha 1192, build 32 as per Desura properties) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lasken Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I too got this bug after a while into my game. Originally i could hire soldiers, but suddenly when i try to recruit it get to the screen where it tells me to pick X amount of soldiers from the list. Problem is the list is empty. Hiring scientists and technicians is not a problem, but i just get a blank list for soldiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legadian Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 There is a workaround (briefly mentioned by OP) that was mentioned in another thread, but since I couldn't find that one I'll post it here: Start a new game, place a base, and hire one soldier. Load your old saved game that didn't have any soldiers to hire and the list should now be populated. The downside to this workaround is that you can hire duplicates of the same soldier across multiple bases and your chinooks start showing weird things as far as how many and which soldiers are assigned to them. However, at least you'll have the soldiers to proceed with the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliencrush Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 i also have this problem (first base, new game and build V13,2 ) when i hire soldiers the counter rise, get blue and look funny. i cant get pics in here but it looks somthing like this soldier 10 before i hire soldier 11(+1) after i hire 1 soldier 12(+2) after i hire 2 and so on it take the money, but i dont get any soldiers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legadian Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Hello Aliencrush, It takes 72 hours for hired soldiers to reach their assigned base. Until then, they appear as the (+1) or (+2) next to your soldier count. Just give it some game time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MentatYP Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Still Experiencing this in 14 Same here--can't hire soldiers, and changing the technician count alters the soldier count but still unable to hire. v14 as well, whatever the latest build is.
