gshuford Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 So far, every time I kill the last alien on a map, the game freezes. The only way to fix it is to sign out of windows and come back. This is making the game unplayable for me. win 8 (64 bit) amd fx 4100 radeon 7700 series 8gb ram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Is it happening on any ground combats or just on a certain combat map? I have a very similar PC setup but I don't experience the issue. Anyone else having this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gshuford Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 It's every ground combat. Doesn't matter what map. I've done well over 20 missions in this game and it never fails - any time I kill the last alien, the game freezes (and not just for that 20-30 seconds, I've watched it for about 5 minutes with no change). The music plays, the arrow cursor will move (but nothing can be highlighted or selected). If I bring up task manager, it says "program not responding" but even then, I can't select anything in the manager. The Xenonauts combat cursor appears on my desktop rather than the normal windows cursor and I can't even select features in the task manager. It's almost like Xenonauts is trying to remain the active program. The only way to shut down Xenonauts is to sign out of windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna hit myself for not thinking of this sooner, but win xp sp 3 seems to fix this for running the experimental beta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StellarRat Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 It's a good find though because that means the game has a problem with Windows 8, at least on a machine like yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I want to point out that this fix does not work for the SC v19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
