llunak Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Whenever you start a new game, and go hiring new soldiers, there is always Josh Eales. This is admitedly a somewhat funny bugreport, but since this is a pre-generated soldier, maybe you'd want to check that the handling of this works as intended. Looking at the list of pre-generated soldiers, those names look completely alien to me, and I'm pretty sure I've never encountered e.g. Chris England or Kseniya Kirova in the game, so possibly there's a bug that always selects this one particular soldier instead of randomly.

dpelectric Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Yep, confirming, I always get good ol' Josh Eales too. Every time I start a new game I'm like "hey, Josh, wassup?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legit1337 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 There is always Josh Eales. It can be no other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Fair point, actually. There is always Josh Eales. Is there always also Dave Lepley? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caaygun Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Let's keep this bug in as a sort of good luck totem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Sad though it is, we may have to fix this one. I have actually had people asking me "Who is this Josh Eales guy?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llunak Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 I think I know. It is possible to have a game without Josh Eales, but only if that game is started after quitting the previous game but not exiting the application. All games created after the game is newly launched seem to have Josh Eales (and Dave Lepley too, but he consistently gets pathetic stats, so who'd notice and hire him). So most probably just the random number generator needs to be initialized properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caaygun Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 If it were the RNG then there would be some other noticable patterning in the initial squad and hire list generation. I'd say that Josh Eales must have an undercover mole in GH that secretly injects stuff into the game. I'll hire him next time to see if he is secretly favored by any other means by the engine like not consistently shooting at his own feet.

a333 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Josh Eales is the Herobrine of the Xenonauts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giovanni Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Fixed. An uninitialized RNG was behind this conspiracy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Stephen Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 That's actually hilarious - I think he should stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
