Denis Posted March 31 Posted March 31 Hello, First of all, I want to say thank you for this game. I am a huge fan of the X-COM / XCOM series, and Xenonauts 2 is exactly the kind of game I have been waiting for for a very long time. For me, it feels like the classic experience I love, but with a modern presentation, better visuals, and a lot of great ideas. You have made an amazing game, and I really appreciate the work your team has done. I am writing because I seem to have encountered a serious progression issue in my campaign. Right now I am on Day 900, playing in Ironman mode, so I do not have older saves to roll back to. My problem is that I can no longer find an Eternal to capture alive. Battleships did appear earlier in my campaign, but I destroyed all of them, and since then no new opportunities to find or capture an Eternal have appeared. I have waited a very long time in-game, but nothing changes, and now I seem to be completely stuck. Because this is an Ironman campaign, I cannot go back and fix the issue through an earlier save. I would really love to finish the game properly, because I have invested a lot of time into this campaign and I have been enjoying it a lot. Could you please let me know if this is a known issue, and whether there is any way to fix my campaign or recover progression so I can continue and complete the game? Thank you very much for your time and for making such a great game.

Load into your save and press F11, this will bring up the bug report tool. Let it compile a bug report and then once the bug report file is generated, press the button that leads you to the location where the file is. Drag and drop the bug report .zip file while making a reply here so we can modify your save so you can finish the campaign. The bug report file will usually be in \Documents\My Games\Xenonauts 2\BugReports, and will be in a compressed (.zip) file format.

As Koki says, if you follow his instructions and post your save up in this thread then he can spawn a battleship for you. I *think* this bug is a known issue that was fixed in a recent Milestone 7 hotfix. There was a problem with Geoscape speed 3 (the second fastest) being able to skip past trigger points for certain missions and timelines that could cause this sort of thing to happen - it seems like the repeating Battleship waves that are meant to trigger never did. Do you use Geoscape speed 3 much? I ask because if you only rarely used that speed then it is possible that there's a second bug in the game that could cause that problem.

Unfortunately this still seems to be an issue:

I've requested access but you'll need to grant it. Alternatively you can just drag and drop the bug report .zip file here and that will upload the save file too. Thanks!
