[V8.6 Ground Combat] CTD Dropping Items


Recommended Posts

I was going to drop a medpack to transfer it to another soldier, and the moment after I let go of the medpack on the ground portion of the inventory, the game crashed to the desktop. The ground was clear before dropping the pack, and I had the soldier standing near two other soldiers.

This was my second battle, and I had several new soldiers, with several aliens already killed during this second mission.

Odd. Just dropping items on the ground does not cause a crash in itself. Anyone else had this? Had the medpack been used at all?

Just before this I had tried using the medpac, twice, on the holder of the medpac, at maximum level. I had forgotton, and it was the whole reason I needed to transfer the pac in the first place. There's a small chance I used it even earlier on someone else, but I don't think that is likely.

Not yet, maybe in beta. I can see the use but it's not a high proirity issue for me.

Maybe the soldier inventory could show a ghost inventory overlay of the adjacent soldiers on the current selected soldier's inventory? If there is more than one adjacent soldier, you control with tabs which ghost inventory shows?

Can you toss items that arent granades? think it would be easier if there was an option to "next soldier" to adjecent soldiers that are in range and have carry the object you selected to the new screen.

Or possibly make it possible to pick up any item within 1 adjacent square so that you dont have to move the guy that dropped the item to then move someone else into his position.

I got a crash today but didn't attemp to duplicate it yet.

Near the end of the mission I was at the door of the UFO looking at what I thought to be the last alien. One soldier had died going in. A second threw a grenade inside and injured the alien.

I selected a third soldier standing a few tiles away from the ship's door, went to inventory, selected a grenade and placed the grenade on the shotgun to equip it. Instant crash.

I don't remember for certain if there was enough room left in the backpack to accept the shotgun or not. If I had a medkit there wouldn't have been but I don't remember if I did or not. I do know I had the belt full of grenades and about 4 more in the backpack along with the flares.

I used no medkits during the mission.

I've used the medkit whenever someone has been hurt with no problems. Never tried dropping it though as all my non-specialists carry medkits.
