Teemu Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) I tried starting a new game three times now (the save from previous version makes the game crash). Each time, after intercepting the first light scout and sending a Chinook to the crash site, the game crashes after the loading screen (the black one). When I reboot the game, there's a save of the game, but loading the save file will just make the game crash again. EDIT: After some more testing, I found out that this happens only if I enable the Iron Man option. Also, sometimes when the crash happens, I get "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error" EDIT2: The same crash is now happening after I end my second turn in the first ground combat encounter. I'm getting the same Runtime error this time. WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS ;_; Edited February 13, 2013 by Teemu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teemu Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 Am I the only one experiencing the problem, or is there something I'm missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNoyce Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I'm having difficulty with both 17.56 and 17.56 post hotfix. I updated 17.52 to 17.56 from Desura, then applied the new update which I'm assuming was the hotfix. I am having issues launching the game. There seem to be some UI glitches that were not apparent in version 17.52. Currently, I am not seeing any image in the start screen, where you select level and continue. Screen is completely white, with no background image. Sometimes, I can see the options. Continuing into the game to the Geoscape, displays a black screen with a message stating 'Loading Geoscape', regardless of how long I wait. So, it is currently impossible for me to place a base, thus I cannot even intercept a UFO to start a ground mission. 17.52 let me play for a while before I ran into any significant issue. I may try downloading the stand-alone, and see if that's any better for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teemu Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 Hmm, I should probably try the same, since I'm using Desuran version too. Have you tried validating the files? I did so about three times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcari Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Sounds like you should either wait for the hotfix, or download the standalone version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNoyce Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I re-validated the files, and it downloaded something and went through the install process again. Now, at least I have a geoscape that looks normal, was able to place a base, and intercept my first UFO. We'll see what happens next..

Pinetree Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Having the same problem, except it doesn't seem to matter if I have iron man on or not. Using the standalone, and I just overwrote the previous version. here's the save from just before it crashes: http://www.mediafire.com/?6bgu88tch1ehx2r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNoyce Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 It's still a bit unstable for me. Last night, it crashed (hung) during the "Hidden Movement" screen. Tonight, I restarted and got to the first Ground mission, and found the crashed UFO. Thus far, it's not crashed again.. *Keeps fingers crossed* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Pinetree: are you using the standalone version or the desura build? if it is the desura build, are you sure you've updated to the latest version. Thanks for the save game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinetree Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Matthew, I'm using the standalone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLGertzert Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 This happens to me too. I'll start a game, do all my soldier management and base stuff, shoot down the first UFO, land my Chinook, start loading, and on the black screen...

Pinetree Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Just to update, I did a clean reinstall by deleting the old game folder completely and the game no longer crashes when loading ground combat. I've had 3 ground combats in a row with no problem. One combat I re-directed the Chinook to a new crash-site when it was returning to base and had no problem whatsoever.
