Max_Caine Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 For whatever reason, night missions crash or hang on loading. To replicate! Simply shoot down a ufo and engage it with a ground team at night-time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderWiggin Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 For me night missions haven't crashed yet. I played only 1 of them so far, though. It was desert map. But I had stable crashes on middle east map on daytime mission. Had to airstrike the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giovanni Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I loaded 3 night mission in both farm and desert tilesets with no problems. Any further info? Maye you should try validating your game files? Also a save file from right before chinook reaches the crashsite would be good to understand if it's a problem with the savegame or just on your pc..

Aaron Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I am also struggling to reproduce this, I've tried night missions in various tile sets and different resolutions, full screen vs. windowed. A saved game where it happens reliably would be a real help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Your wish is my command! Shazam!. This should be a night-time mission at the very start of the game, with no changes made whatsoever to the party, or the base. Full screen.

Aaron Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Hmm, when I try to load that saved game (using the current Steam exp build) I get an instant crash; Giovanni? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Odd. That should have taken you to the geoscape before the night mission started. Tell you what, I did verify files, but I'll do a clean re-install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Centipede Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I got the crash also: I think I found the culprit. It's not just night mission, at least for me. It's the shotguns. I need to bring the shotgun, otherwise I'll crash. Okay here's what I did: 1. Create new game 2. Shot down a UFO 3. Reequip the strike team - namely the assault guy (with shotguns) to be rifleman, both of them. The rest are default 4. Intercept the crash site 5. Loading ground combat screen, at about 90% loaded, there's that music playing a then it crash. I retried it again, this time I skip step 3 - so the strike team is at default.. the ground combat loaded fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giovanni Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Yeah, we can't load it because there is an invalid research name (Researches.ScoutingMission, from your UFO mission analysis mod?). Could you please remove the mod (a clean install should remove them all) and see if the problem is still present? If so, provide us a saved game and we'll look into it!

Anyway, I can't reproduce it, going into mission with no shotguns is fine for me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazing Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Happens to me too, assigned a new soldier to the team, changed to assault -> night mission crashes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belmakor Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I get the crash on every type of mission now. Not sure what's changed? Loading a saved game maybe? Incidentally, this is on a clean install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazing Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 The game crashes on V20 8/1 version too. Here's my save, before sending the dropship: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mlkg2u6v99u0trz/2014-01-26_08.53.49.sav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
