Kreny Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) can't attach savegame because I have no permission to do that on this forum and I am not going to use 3rd party file sharing services because of this stupid obstacle so just text: shot down lone Landing ship at middle east tile set (central Africa on globe), I have shot it on second attempt (first wave has damaged it to ~85%, then I flew back for ammo reload and shot it on second occasion) and game crashes each time I am trying to enter battlefield, I have not even made it to the briefing screen. I am at JAN 1970, maybe some new alien species had to be there? Edited June 16, 2013 by Kreny had missing word in my report Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Which dropship are you using, and any mods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kreny Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) original dropship (chinhook or how is it written) and no mods of course could it be an issue that because UFO was already so damaged then my second wave had damaged it over 100% and because I doubt landing ships can be destroyed as Alien fighters can be then it crashed when it tried to calculate crash casualties?

Sathra Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 And it crashes every time you try to start the mission (loading from save after shootdown but before dropship reaches)? Curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kreny Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 it crashed three times in a row so I guess yes My save is one or two game hours before dropship reaches crashsite. If You grant me access for attaching files into this thread, I can post save here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 You can upload it to a file sharing site like dropbox, then paste the link to the forum. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kreny Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 You can upload it to a file sharing site like dropbox, then paste the link to the forum. Thank you. as I wrote in my first post, I am not going to do so because it is so stupid situation. You are seeking for bugs in game pre-release stages but you do not allow people to attach savegames with this bugs. If its not possible to grant access then hopefully you will fix it somehow else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svidangel Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Pretty sure it's the same as reported before, missing mission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had a problem with uploading a file to dropbox and sharing a link. If that's too much hassle for you, then I guess that's that.

Matthew Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I am not a froum administrator in terms of technical stuff. If it is disabled, i'm sure there is a good reason for that. It was enabled before, but it got disabled because some scammers spammed the forums. Also there is a chance your issue will be fixed in the next build, there were a few reports like yours.

rheda Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Same was happening to me, in a consistent, reproducible way (funny thing, I downed 2 landing ships in middle east, and both missions triggered the same bug). Then I replaced assets/maps/middleeast/middleeast_medium1.xml with middleeast_largeships_placeholder.xml (in the same dir), and it started working again. I got a standard landingship mission, so I wonder if the game just ditched that map and loaded another one instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACtic Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I can confirm that bug, have exactly the same situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbull102 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) @ rheda The assets/maps/middleeast/middleeast_medium1.xml was a good idea. After ver 19.3 (experimental) is very unstable I moved back to stable 18.3 and ran into the same bug... I looked into the middleeast_medium1.xml and found this : <layer name="airplane.alien.landingship" status="landed"> <submap name="alien.landingship" left="23" top="0" width="23" height="21" /> </layer> <layer name="airplane.alien.landingship" status="crashed"> <submap name="alien.landingship" left="23" top="-1" width="23" height="21" /> </layer> <layer name="airplane.alien.cruiser" status="landed"> <submap name="alien.cruiser" left="15" top="0" width="30" height="26" /> </layer> <layer name="airplane.alien.cruiser" status="crashed"> <submap name="alien.cruiser" left="15" top="0" width="30" height="26" /> </layer> After setting it to: <layer name="airplane.alien.landingship" status="landed"> <submap name="alien.landingship" left="23" top="0" width="23" height="21" /> </layer> <layer name="airplane.alien.landingship" status="crashed"> <submap name="alien.landingship" left="23" top="0" width="23" height="21" /> </layer> <layer name="airplane.alien.cruiser" status="landed"> <submap name="alien.cruiser" left="15" top="0" width="30" height="26" /> </layer> <layer name="airplane.alien.cruiser" status="crashed"> <submap name="alien.cruiser" left="15" top="0" width="30" height="26" /> </layer> I could start the map without crashing to desktop.
