Chris Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 OK, so there's a third patch for you to test. I'm going to name the next build V16.5 just to save confusion (though it won't help too much as the launcher text won't update from V16.1, so never mind). Before I release it on Desura, I want to test it here a bit more. I have produced a third patch in an attempt to fix the Farm crash bug. To apply it, you need the latest V16.1 standalone (or Desura client download), a clean copy if you've already been applying the earlier patches I've made. Then grab the patch here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/26290309/V16.5%20update.exe Once you've got it, run the .exe and then start a fresh game (it won't cure existing crashing saved games) and report back if you get any CTDs. I've removed the two earlier patches from dropbox so everyone knows they're getting the right patch, but it's called V16.5 this time around.

thothkins Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 The patches seem to be a lot better than anything related to Desura, so thanks for the efforts on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 Well they're just a placeholder to let me check if the fixes will actually work before we upload to Desura... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashman Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) Chris is this patch meant to be for the current desura clean install. I tried to install and it says soldier_spectre.xml unknown version in assets\units\civilians\farm\malefarmer2\soldier_spectre.xml 1sec looks like Desura wasnt properly updating my game files I am updating 16.1 now Edited October 21, 2012 by flashman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) Hello, I installed the patch on the 16.1 stand alone (I've given up on desura for now). Installed fine, and I've played one farm map without crashing. However, I am still getting invisible civillians on the desert map (only played farm and desert maps for now). Dropbox Lin to screenshot. EDIT : I patched a clean install of the 16.1 stand alone, and started a new game. * more invisible civies, not sure if this counts as a desert map though. Dropbox Lin to screenshot 2. My tank cannot get out of the dropship on this map though (same map as the screenshot above) - link to dropbox screenshot, immobile tank On the plus side, no crashes so far! I spoke to soon, after 15-16 ufos, I finally got my second farm map, and just as a civillian jumped a hedge or fence (happen too quickly) the game CTD.

karnak Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Hi i have updated the 16.1 standalone (deleted all save files) with the 16.5 patch but still have invisible civilians, dead aliens who stands and wont go down ;-) and had a crash on the third farm map. Sorry for the bad news and my bad english. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandron Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Well, my virus scanner tells me there is a virus like the virus installc.hju. Is the file clean or do we have here a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 No issues with my Nortons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aklyon Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I heavily doubt Chris put a virus in there Shandron, you're picking up a false positive. No problem with any of the patches with my Avast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzles Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 So, what's been changed this time Chris? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aklyon Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Dangit. 12 missions, 12th one is a farm map, ctd on turn 2 hidden movement. This was a fresh start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frukc Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I tried to install and it says soldier_spectre.xml unknown version in assets\units\civilians\farm\malefarmer2\soldier_spectre.xml I have same error, V16.1 installed from Desura. How to make it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RikazeMA Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 CTD on my second Farmland map attempt. Not actually sure it was from the invisi-civvies jumping something or not though, couldn't tell, stuff was going by way too quickly. It actually kinda seemed like it had more to do with my guys getting shot at than anything else, from the context of what was happening at the moment of crash. (I.E., the sounds of being shot at.) Also, it seems like the tank just will not move on the first mission no matter what, but after that it's completely fine. Not sure if it's only for the first mission, or for the first mission where you decide to bring a Hunter with. Regardless, it seems like the map doesn't matter, just that the tank refuses to get off the stupid chopper, but only for the one mission. Currently, I'm rationalizing it as some idiot forgot to put the gasoline in before the first op. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashman Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I have same error, V16.1 installed from Desura. How to make it work? Found Desura hadn't actually updated Close Desura and reload and it should re-update game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpetsmoker Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Loaded a farm map, ended the turn, and the game bought the farm (badum-tish). Played a few non-farm maps, and they all went fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennard Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Mine seems to install ok, but the launch window still says build v16.1 - is that to say it didn't install correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomsticksimo Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Lennard : if i am right the luncher will say v16.1 but the game will be on 16.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StellarRat Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Still crashing on farm maps. Haven't seen any invisible farmers though. It always seems to happen during hidden movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzles Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Yeah. V16.5 hasn't solved it. Farm, end second turn, hear two footsteps, crash. I wonder what it could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
