Aaron Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 As there are still bugs in our "reverted" version (Candidate 3), we're trying a new tack. This is Candidate 2 with the loading screen stripped out and some new bugs fixed: - There should no longer be a CTD when you open the inventory system - Soldiers will no longer be Wounded on arriving at base - Removal of loading screen should remove the CTD on loading people had previously, plus speed up mission load times. Let us know if you find bugs in the game as we would *really* like to have V20 Stable released soon so we can all go back to enjoying the festive season!

llunak Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 There's no initial LOS for soldiers after entering ground combat for me (like this http://picpaste.com/bug25-tzgn59Ax.jpg ) - can somebody confirm? But otherwise LOS works normally, i.e. the obvious workaround is to make soldiers move or turn a bit. So it's not such a big deal in practice, but it's very visible and looks odd.

ElMyamo Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) The initial screen showing mission objectives and how badly the UFO is damaged is now missing completely. Is this intentional? Otherwise I have yet to encounter a crash, groundcombat starts as quickly as it used to, and opening a soldiers inventory causes no problems for me. Thank you guys for a playable and so far stable (knock on wood here) version to play over the holidays and distract me from a christmas spend alone Merry Christmas to the team and everyone here on the forum! Edit: I just realized that no autosave is created at the beginning of ground combat. No big deal for me, but remember to save manually in case you screw up the mission guys. Edit 2: I may have been too quick to judge. The autosave function doesn't work at all, and when I try to save manually after completing a mission the game CTDs. The savefile IS created, but trying to load it leads to a CTD. I have not found a workaround for this, every time I try to save after completing my first mission the game crashes.

thothkins Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Confirm on the LOS - as stated simply selecting a soldier and turning/moving them clears it. Confirm on the CTD following a save after a ground mission + game no longer loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonie Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) Apart from this no initial LOS for soldiers after entering ground combat I have NO issues as yet. Loading and saving working fine here. Thank you for getting this build to us, I thought you had all gone home for Christmas. Update: Yep, just tested save from right after combat, and loaded up no problem. Edited December 21, 2013 by Moonie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tscho Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 i found a strange bug: in a base invasion mission all my soldier which should drop unconsious (stun grenade) just explode (body splatter animation) and all the weapons on ground are destroyed. in normal tactical missions it worked fine.

thothkins Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Following save issues. Loaded up last combat save. Played mission. Chinook engaged a landed mission before returning to base resulting in a CTD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelm Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 hello, I meet the same ctd when loading a combat save during my first play with the last build. But i meet another try and restarting a new ground mission. When i save a combat game without taking an alien corpse on the ground i can reload the game without any problem, but each time i take a dead alien corpse then saving and reload the game, i meet a CTD. hope this help. btw thanks for your great game.

For me the problem is not connected to the desecration of alien corpses As a matter of fact nothing out of the ordinary happened in the combat missions, i did not try anything new (like picking up corpses or alien weapons), nor did any of my xenonauts get injured. The game merely crashes every time I try to save after the first ground mission (chinook in the air or landed, new save or overwriting existing one, clicking through the base or saving right after the mission, it all doesn't matter, the game inevitably crashes). Does the game create autosaves for everyone else? or is it unique for me that none are created, neither at the beginning nor the end of a mission.

Redwallzyl Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 there's still a bug when you kill one escort fighter and leave then comeback and kill the rest it CTDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelm Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Reloading a combat save, after taking an alien...sorry...or any objects its not possible. BTW each time i try to save the game after finishing the 2nd ground mission, the game crashes every time. I have also not any autosaves created after or before a ground mission.

Redwallzyl Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 it keeps crashing after i try to save after a base assault and the charlie is in a weird place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Redwallzyl - is this a new game you've started with this version? Have you got all the way to base assaults in this build? I can't reproduce the escort fighter bug...tried shooting down a Corvette where I took the escorts out and then came back for the main ship, but it worked fine.

Chris Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Also, while I can confirm autosaves at the start of combat are not being generated correctly, I'm not getting any further save issues. Everyone that is getting them: 1) Right click, validate files 2) Start a new game 3) If you get a corrupted save from that game, please post it here so we can look at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not find any other way to validate the files), deleted all previous savegames, started a new game. It went exactly as before, I started the game, did all my usual changes to equipment, build stuff, hired scientists, shot down the first UFO and started the mission. Tileset was desert/military, the UFO obviously a small scout. Saving and loading worked perfectly fine. I killed the last alien, got the debrief, here's a screenshot: after returning to the geoscape I tried to save the game (as a new file), and it crashed to desktop. i tried again by overwriting a previous file, and it crashed again. The forum won't allow me to attach the savegames, so I will email them to you Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogadeet Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 V20 stable 21/ 12 Inventory CTD solved (yay!) Now getting CTD when attempting to load geoscape save. Keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwallzyl Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 the escort one i only shot down one of the escorts. and the CTD on saving makes a save but it cannot be loaded. the game as started it 20.3 so i wouldn't think there would be problems.

jeon Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I started a new game and it is still giving me CTD when saving after first mission. I haven't had any problems saving or loading in ground combat with various alien items in my inventory (I haven't tried carrying around corpses however).

Chris Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Thanks guys, I can now reproduce the save crash issues. We'll get them fixed up then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uglyduckling81 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 So i've had no crashes in this latest build. However I had to go out, so saved my game. When I loaded back up UFO's no long appear in my game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max_Caine Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 It's not a bug. The positive points are now all got when you shoot down a UFO. That screen is due to be updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
