V24.7 Experimental Released (Closed Beta)


Recommended Posts

This is planned to be the final hotfix for V24, fixing a major gameplay issue and a few other minor problems. You'll need to be on the Experimental Branch to access the build.

I imagine there's not too much appetite to heavily playtest this build given there's not too many changes from V24.6 which was already fairly stable, but the plan is to leave this on the Experimental branches for a week or so and then push out to the main Steam branch unless we've introduced any big new crashes.

The previous build is on the Experimental Legacy branch if you want to continue to play a save from that game, as updating to this new hotfix will break save games.

Fixes / Improvements:

  • I think we've managed to fix the annoying long-standing bug where the game sometimes randomly locks up during loading. Let us know if you continue to experience it (although hopefully you won't).
  • Fixed a crash if you tried to cancel the soldier equip screen when launching a dropship, rather than launching the dropship.
  • Fixed a crash that could happen on the text intro if you hammered the Esc key.
  • Completing the recharging lasers project no longer removes their ammo entirely.
  • Fixed an issue where UFOs that were not meant to land would land anyway.
  • Mentarch now has an integrated plasma rifle alongside its melee weapon.

Thanks to everyone that has reported bugs in V24 so far. Let us know if you continue to experience further bugs!

Just got back into it ... first mission, trying to force shoot a wall to destroy it, because of some alien behind ... instant crash.

What a nice "Welcome Back".

Please post up a bug report for that, as we're keen to fix any crashes but can't fix it from that description alone. Details on how to do it here if you don't already know:

Will the loading time issue make into the main branch once v24 gets pushed?

The loading hang fix will be on the main branch, and the builds on the main branch load much faster than the ones on Experimental anyway because they have less debug logging in them.

However the V24 update will break previous save games so if you're asking about whether it'll improve a V23 campaign, unfortunately it won't.
