[v18 STEAM] game crashes when engaging crashed landing ship at middle east


Recommended Posts

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?

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?

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

I don't see how Matthew is responsible for the technical shortcomings of the forum. 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.

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.

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.

@ 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.
