Kreny Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) when I want to enter crash site, game CTDs. Want to attach savegame but can't - 500 or 404 errors on attachement pop-up Fix is available ! Ok guys, first of all thanks for all the reports, they were really useful to find out what caused this crash.So, the issue was caused by the new spawn maps for the chinook in the farm tileset. I've corrected the maps affected by this error, you can download them from here. You'll just need to extract the files from the archive and place them in [xeno install folder]/assets/maps/farm, clicking on substitute files if prompted. That should do the trick!

Covent Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 CTD when trying to enter Soviet Crash site as well, my first crash site in v15 so haven't tried it in any other locations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nietnagel Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Same here, tier 2 scout crashsite at russia get me a ctd. After reloading the savegame the next random tier 2 scout crashsite at russia works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dowly Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Suffered a CTD just after the Chinook reached a crash site around Norway earlier. Shortly after had another similar CTD in the Soviet Union area. Of course, when I tried to reproduce the CTDs, everything worked just fine.

Max_Caine Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 To help the developers pin down the problem, could people also write down any details about the crash site, such as: What kind of map (it will say if you zoom in on the geoscape) What geographic locations you've seen it effect (like Dowly wrote) What UFO was shot down.

Buzzles Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Well, looking at the Assets/Maps/Soviettown foldier, seems the Soviet map assets are missing. If the game is trying to actually make a SovietTown crashsite rather than just farm or industrial, that'll do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dowly Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Another two CTDs, this time with a bit more info. Didn't catch the map types, but here are screenshots of the crash sites' locations if that helps: Soviet Union Southern Africa UFO type was light scout in both cases.

TNoyce Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Hmm. I don't think windowed mode should be an issue. I run that way most of the time. Though, I also experienced the CTD when I attempted to enter the 2nd crash site in the Soviet Union. Light scout had been shot down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrFumbles Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Suffered a CTD when I sent my troops and a f17 out to a landed UFO in the Soviet area. Seems fine around Europe and the Middle East. Great game. keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible to do some workaround here? e.g. point game to Farm tileset instead of Soviet Town? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dowly Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) I think the Soviet Town isn't yet implemented, hence that can't be the problem. Also, like I mentioned in the earlier posts, I've had the CTD in areas other than Soviet Union. Ah, forgot to mention earlier that I too, like DrFumbles, suffered one CTD when going for a landed UFO. Can't remember any other details than it was somewhere in Europe, probably a light scout or a scout as it was early in the game.

hellig Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 had several crashed too when entering combat, it feels like some sort of mem leak, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belmakor Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I had a CTD when there was a landed UFO in Russia and a crashed UFO in Africa... But my chinook was deploying at the crash-site not the landing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Soviet Town tileset will be used for terror sites and here we're talking about crash sites. ATM this tileset is not used, so even if the folder is empty that's definitely not the cause.

PRiME Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Yeah just found this bug, was first play of v15 and first mission. had base in Middle east, ell well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I think I might have an idea of the problem. I just tried to do a crash-site mission on a farmyard map, and the game CTD'd. I notice that the /units/friendlyaitroops/farm/weapon.farmershotgun/ assets folder has a complete set of spectres for the "friendly solider" on the farmyard map, but no sprite sheets. Could that be what's causing the CTD? PLEASE NOTE: The only way to check what type of mission you will do is to zoom in on the UFO before you engage it - once you zoom in, all sorts of info pops up next to the UFO icon. The crash-site icon does not have any of the details the mobile UFO does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeerRus Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 small scout, Southern Africa, farmyard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Having tried this a dozen times, it seems that the farmyard maps cause the CTD. Now, the last time this happened, the assets for the map in question weren't there, but they seem all there this time. Oh well. In the meanwhile, the only thing to do really is when you intercept a UFO, check before you enage it to make sure the terrain type (which will be noted next to the UFO icon if you zoom in) is Industrial.

Scrimpton Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Bah humbug! Having the same issue on every continent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kreny Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 and due to vacation of our beloved leader, fix would not be available before he returns, right? When he should return? If later then next week then call him back! just an idea. If industrial tileset works... there should be some xml where we could point game to industrial tileset instead of farm tileset if crash site is on farmland?

Giovanni Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 (edited) Important note! This patch is no longer required from v16 on, as the fixed maps were included in it! Ok guys, first of all thanks for all the reports, they were really useful to find out what caused this crash. So, the issue was caused by the new spawn maps for the chinook in the farm tileset. I've corrected the maps affected by this error, you can download them from here.
