I've been playing the stable version for a couple hours now and got Laser Rifles.
I outfitted my squad with them and had a fairly successful mission with them. I only lost one person, and managed to gain some new bodies for autopsy. When I arrived back at HQ, I hired a replacement soldier and handed him a loaded laser rifle and looked for my D-F(Deuterium Fluoride) cartridges to no avail. I searched all the tabs and couldn't find a single bit of laser rifle ammunition. I checked my production and buy/sell menus and both indicated that I was in possession of more that twenty D-F cartridges. I checked the equipment menu again, but didn't see a single one. All of my squad members had their cartridges, so I decided to do an experiment. I put the cartridges back into the ammo dump (the area below the equip screen where all of your ammo and weapons are stored) and exited the equipment menu. I then came back to the equipment menu, and just as I had suspected, the D-F cartridges were gone.
I decided that laser rifles must just hate me or something, so I researched plasma rifles and started using those. After a while, I lost a few soldiers in combat that were carrying the plasma rifle ammo. I hired on some new people and again, the ammo was all gone. I checked my production and everything that would indicate how much ammo I had and all of them said that I had more than twenty units of the ammo.
I figured that this was a game-breaking bug and that it needed to be posted here, so here I am, posting it.
Hope I help in some way, and I also hope you can help me.
Also, I've tried downloading your development versions. I tried the SVN one and it seemed to be a Linux file, and I didn't see an SVN dump for a windows specific version.
Where would I get the development version for windows?Found it, thanks to Odie!
Again, thank you in advance for any help you may render, and you're welcome in advance for any help I may have provided.
