Chris Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Removing the ground combat loading screen caused more issues than anticipated. We've made some more fixes, and released a new Stable Candidate. You can thank Giovanni for most of this work! Changes: - Saving games should no longer cause a CTD, or corrupt the save. - Missions should now autosave correctly. - Briefing screen is back. - Soldiers should have their LOS back at the start of a mission. - Singularity Torpedo Xenopedia entry now correctly appears with the Fury research. Please let us know in this thread if there are bugs. At this point we're unlikely to be doing any more fixes before Christmas, so if this build is unstable we'll just revert the branch to V20.8 Hotfix 3. However, if it does prove stable we'll roll the build out to the Stable branch so everyone can enjoy the new features over the festive season. Have a great Christmas and a happy new year!

Puciek Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 So far I've noticed small issue with laboratory right after first ground combat (all gray researches show as ####) http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197985788964/screenshot/884127922220234834 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Dread Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) OK, just spent close to 3hrs in game from the exe file Chris pasted up, no crashes with heaps of saves, aircombat and ground missions. Here's my take; LOS in start of ground combat : FIXED Crash when using inventory in ground combat : FIXED Aliens staying supressed : FIXED Soldiers arriving injured : FIXED Crash after trying to save after 1st scout mission : FIXED Autosave : FIXED Briefing Screen : FIXED Soldiers with 98% health after mission : Still present, Also garage doors on some maps act funny, either cant be opened or you run straight through them. But those 2 things are minor compared to the fixes, very happy with V20SC5! WELL DONE! :-) Edited December 24, 2013 by Dead Dread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherelian Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Hello, thanks for the work! Sadly, i got a CTD after the latest patch. After that the game wount work properly: every line is replaced by "###'#' and if I try to start a new game, every letter is repaced by the same "#####". Any Ideas ?

Chris Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 Sounds like your strings.xml is corrupted. I'd validate your files on Steam and try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buatha Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Based on their dedication during the holidays, I've just purchased the game. Damn fine work, guys. I had stopped following the progress of the game for a while until I stumbled upon some gameplay videos by Yeti on YouTube. The game looks totally awesome.

Chris Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 To be fair, we've not been pulling all nighters. Giovanni did a few hours work on it last night but it's not been too intense. Thanks for the feedback. I've noticed a couple reports of hidden movement loops / hangs. As the autosaves should be working again, if you can attach the autosave from the start of the battle (a save from the actual turn would be even better but I appreciate that's unlikely to exist). It's almost certainly an AI loop causing the issue so it'll be much easier for GJ to fix if we have access to the problematic missions. EDIT - the bug report suggested the loop happened when an alien died from fire damage. Let us know if that theory is possible too, if you encounter the bug.

Puciek Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I did play for about 4 hours now on the latest SC and my primary issue would be that sometimes the game crashes when I go to the soldiers equipment screen every now and then. I cannot reproduce it, but it happens and is very frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonie Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) Frikkin awesome game. It's about to become my favorite UFO/XCOM game of all time. It's just so,so,so.......intense baby. Edited December 24, 2013 by Moonie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad_Shadow Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 (edited) Well , i could not replicate the infinite enemy turn bug , but i came across a sudden halt on my play a few hours later. I just finished an alien base assault and when i come back the game crashes after a few in game minutes. There are 2 fighter groups hunting UFO's , so at first i thought it was caused by shooting down a landing ship i was in persuit off , but even recalling all fighters makes the game CTD , so im oblivious whats causing the crash. Here is the save: Save Edit : I also encountered the CTD on clicking the soldier equipment screen , but it wasnt a major issue for me.
