SirAstral Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I have 2 bases (1 USA & 1 EU) and I was delivering a Mig32 (no other items) from my USA base to my EU base. When the transport reaches my EU base the game crashes to the desktop. Objects visible on GeoScape Only 1 squadron of Alien Fighters (1 + 2 escorts) Mig32 on return from shooting down medium scout ufo 1 Crashsite 1 Chinook Transport heading for the Crashsite After 4 or 5 save reloads the crashing stopped for an unknown reason.

Buzzles Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Known issue. Basically, if you load a game where a transport is in the air, the game will CTD when the transport reaches it's destination. The workaround is to save before and after the transport trip, not during. There was also an older bug where if you sent a load of things to be transported, then send another load WITHOUT first returning to thr Geoscape (just switching tabs to other baseview doesn't count as it doesn't progress time), then you'd also have a CTD when the transports got to the destination. I think this was fixed though. Possibly. Either way you're only sending one plane so it doesn't affect you. It's interesting that you say it stopped crashing after about 5 attempts though. Food for thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food for thought. Thanks for the information. I usually make a save before every action I take as a precaution for this but I got lazy and forgot too. On top of that I had about 5 UFO's pop after I started the transfer process and did not want to go back to a a super old save because dealing with those Fighter UFS's is a major pain. So I was desperate to keep my progress which is why I just kept trying. So yea I downed 5 UFO's 2 of those 3 man fighter squads a single 1 man fighter and 2 seperate mid sized scouts all during the time my transport took off and landed. I was afraid one of the fighter UFO's was going to down my plane. the UFO that was on screne when it crashed was the 6th and pop about 10 seconds before landing.
