Gorzahg Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I'm a couple of weeks into a game and I can't hire soldiers. But when I start a new game I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 So something up with the pool refresh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorzahg Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) Yeah. The pool refreshes weekly right? [*]Soldier Hire: When you hire a soldier, you can now pick from a pool of 12 possible soldiers which is refreshed as you hire troops. This allows you to pick a soldier that suits the role you are hiring them for - though fired troops go back in the soldier pool to prevent mass hire / fire soldier cherry picking. I'm also finding that the pool doesn't refresh as you hire soldiers. Firing works as intended tho. Edited June 19, 2012 by Gorzahg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorzahg Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) OK moar info: I loaded my new game where I could recruit new soldiers (although the pool doesn't refresh), I then loaded my other game where I can't recruit soldiers, but now I can. It is using the same pool for both games. Edited June 19, 2012 by Gorzahg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsisk Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 In one of the other threads someone mentioned a workaround for the hiring bug, but didn't say what it was...anyone know of one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khall Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 When you get the bug, save the game, start up a new game (not sure whether or not you have to open the hiring panel), and then reload your previous game, this should refresh the hiring pool.

Malkuth Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 just got to add.. if you exit the game and start it, then load your saved game. the bug is still there.. so you would have to make a new game. save and then load, everytime you want to hire soldiers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkArk Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Can confirm this bug has persisted into 12.1, first time I've gotten it personally also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I encountered this too. After some testing I have found that: 1) If I attempted to hire soliders straight away (after I had put down my first base) I am (so far) able to hire soliders without problem after. 2) If I build my first base, go away and do some missions then hire a solider, it doesn't always let me. The first time it doesn't let me, it will never let me after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSGGeezer Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Still exists in 17.1 Then after CTD and reloading I can get new Soldiers at my 2nd base. I just can't assign my transfers to my 2nd Chinook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
