[Sathra]

Updated to pre-V8.41.

Just realised, if people could report if listed bugs are fixed or re-occur, that would be helpful. Do so in this thread, for tracking purposes.

[Chris]

I'm going to add a list of bugs here that we've decided are low priority and can wait until the beta to fix. Stability is important but it's more important to get the new features in that fix the relatively minor ones. Sathra, perhaps you can consolidate these into your existing list so we have a big old to-do list when beta arrives?

BUG – If you try to sell a captured item (for instance, Alenium) on the Stores screen, the game will sell an extra unit of it every time you do it. It does not do this for manufactured items.

- Keybind menu has no OK button.

BUG - If a soldier goes into battle with a two handed weapon equipped and is over his weight limit, when the mission ends (if he still has the weapon equipped) on the Soldier Equip screen he has double the weight penalty to his APs that he should have (what he had before the battle). If you unequip and then re-equip the weapon in his hands, it reverts to what it should be.

BUG - If two research projects finish at the same time then the game only loads up one in the Xenopedia. On leaving the Xenopedia the first time, it should load up again showing the next piece of completed research.

BUG - Save game in-game dates are always a month too late – a save game made in June will display the time of August in the save game information.

BUG - If you start a game, exit the campaign, then start a new campaign, vehicles are still getting consecutive numbering from where it ended in the previous campaign (the starting vehicle is Hunter-003).

BUG - If you set one of ‘Select Vehicle’ hotkeys and change it to Control + <number> then when you exit the menu and reload it again afterwards, it is changed to Shift + <number> instead.

BUG - Sorting by ‘Armour’ on the Personnel information screen doesn’t work.

BUG - Clicking on any block of text (for instance a research item description or the Course Data block on the Personnel screen) makes it turn orange for some reason.

Also these two should be fixed now - although its tough to check the latter as the inventory screen just crashes for me when I load it:

- Dropped medipack uses Assault Rifle ground item image.

- Starting mission with AP penalty due to encumbrance, dropping items to reduce weight has no effect on total AP.

[Sathra]

Most of are on the list already, but you've worded them better. I'll update that.

Just checked the Medipack one, it still uses the assault rifle groundimage.

Encumbrance updating properly does work though, kept forgetting to check that one.

[Sathra]

All done. Some were listed as fixed for some reason.

[chollington]

i dont know if this has already been reported but i equiped a medi kit on a soldier and the game crashed when i tried to go to the battlescape view. and i also had a problem with a soldier going through a door and not wanting to go back out of it. hope this helps.

[Sathra]

First one is new, no-one's reported a crash from medikits. The other one might be the other door bug (http://www.goldhawkinteractive.com/forums/showthread.php?478-8.41-Ground-Combat-Move-soldier-through-door-no-other-soldiers-can-enter).

Edited December 17, 2011 by Sathra

[Belmakor]

Hi there, hope this is the right place to report bugs that weren't on the list?

1. Medkits only heal the grey portion of a wounded soldiers HP (I assume as intended). However, your medic can still use up his AP continuously on the wounded soldier even if the HP can no longer rise.

2. My RPG soldier has 30+ AP in one mission and then while out on the same Chinook patrol he enters a 2nd mission with 15 AP. After dropping his RPG on the ground the game CTD.

3. Hunter was completely destroyed in one mission. On the same Chinook patrol (without first returning to base) I went on a 2nd mission and my Hunter was back in Full Health.

4. Having moved my unassigned troops onto my Chinook in the base, upon arrival in the next mission all they carried was med packs and no weapons.

5. The animation for a soldier running with a medpack is one in which he is holding an Assault rifle.

[Sathra]

Kind of. If they aren't on the list it invariably means that there isn't a report for them (so you should make one).

As for the bugs you've listed:

1. Make a report, that's something that hasn't been mentioned for a loong time. I'm not sure if its intended behaviour either.

2. That's the 'Two-handed weapon weight doubled upon base return' bug. It shouldn't have crashed though. Can you repeat it? If you can, make a report.

3. That's one that hasn't been quite reported yet. Instant vehicle repair has a while ago, but no-one reported anything about doing 2 missions in 1 flight. Was it the same vehicle (Hunter-001 or whatever)? If so, make a new report.

4. That should really not have happened. Try and see if you can repeat it.

5. Sprite bug. Add it to the "Missing sprite list" thread. Make sure you mention which armour he was wearing too.

[kujahn]

Ground combat freezes after pressing End Turn. 13/12

Game is responsive according to window, but its stuck in AI's turn (got a glimpse the field once before it went back to hidden movement)

[SuperNovaNexus]

I'm getting CTD's after shooting down an alien fighter and returning to base does not always happen but most of the time

[Billyy]

- CTD when UFO Fighters pursuing player craft retreating to base land at the base. 22/12

I think I have experienced and have a save right before this happens. My MIG32 was being pursued by an alien fighter and I used 2 other F17s to shoot it down, but seemingly no matter what I try after that when my MIG32 lands at base it CTD but the F17's can land normally.

Edit: Just experienced it again with the exact scenario in a new game except this time it was my Chinook that was pursued and CTD when it lands, and a MIG32 was among the F17s.

- Hunter returns next mission with 0 HP after being destroyed in previous mission.

- Hunter does not repair between combats (new max HP = remaining HP from last mission) 7/12

I also believe I experienced these bugs. In a ground mission I managed to shoot my already damaged Hunter with the sniper and destroy it, but upon returning to base it was still in my garage at 39 health (might have even been the remaining health it had before the sniper shot but not 100% sure of that) and it seemingly wouldn't repair until I reloaded at one point and it was back up to 60. I however swapped Hunters so I never saw if the bugged ones max health became 39.

[Sathra]

Ah, good. If you can find the original report thread could you add your findings there as well? It'd be easier to track the bug's progress that way.

[Run3]

I'm having a lot of crashes when my planes return to base... i haven figured out why exactly, but i will play around with it and post a proper bug report

[Gorlom]

Have you checked the other bugg reports about Crashing To Desktop when planes return to the base? You might get a better understanding of whats happening to you after reading them.

[IceVamp]

- Chinook engage notice still visible in shroud during mission.21/12

04/01

Is fixed now in 8.6 isn't it?

The AP Reserve not halting soldiers, or displaying orange tiles bug isn't on the list. I've had it without loading a game now as well. It happened after opening inventory and moving a medkit for use. I'm quite sure one of the first things I did in my reloads was to open the inventory to check things were alright, so might be something in that.

[Infernal_Dalek]

BUG - Fighters engage alien fighter at a speed of 0 km/h.

They managed to get up to speed and catch the alien fighter before it escaped.

[Sathra]

Yeah, been a bit busy so haven't been able to update the list in a while.

Thor, the bugs you mention I can't remember ever being reported...

[IceVamp]

Really? I just figured it was you that changed the topic on this to match the previous syntax; [V8.6 - Ground Combat] Multiple GC load bugs

However I could make a separate report of it if you'd like, for clarity and with my new inventory theory. I could try to research it a bit more to see if I can't find the trigger.

[Sathra]

Ah, I just chalked that up to Ground Combat savegames going nuts on load.

If its happening without loading a GC save that's different. Better to have them as separate reports so its easier to check them (though if its multiple bugs happening with the same trigger all the time it would be mostly okay to have them in the same report)

[ultimodareaper]

I have a major bug that after shooting down certain ufos when the planes come back they crash the game.

[Sathra]

Yeah, this thread isn't actually for reporting bugs.

That is a known bug though. There's a few threads about it.

[IceVamp]

Ok I'll do some tests to see if I can reproduce it tomorrow probably.

Hi Sathra, I just wanted to suggest an improvement to the master bug list thread.

I think it would be useful to have a link to the forum original bug thread for each bug in the list (when there is one).

Before posting a new thread we could first search the master bug thread list. If we find a similar bug in the list, we could update the linked thread directly instead of searching for it in the forum.

As an example, I'd like to post a screenshot of a resolution issue. I've seen it is already reported in the list as 'Resolutions not present/too small/unusual resolutions given', but the description is not specific enough to understand if a new thread is needed. If I could easily read the original thread, that could surely help me. I know that 'search is your friend', but I'm just trying to streamline the process.

If there is only one thread for each bug, then it's also easier to track the problem history. It's one of the features I most appreciate of Team Foundation Server.

It's just a suggestion.

[Sathra]

Hmm, not a bad idea. Though a number of bugs have between 2 and 6 reports.
