Title: RC4 Research bugs
Post by: kungfujoe on September 18, 2006, 01:05:18 pm

I've noticed a few issues with research.  They may have been identified already, but I don't see a forum topic for them.

First, the research completion percentage is often displayed as 0.0% even when it's not.  For example, if you load a saved game while research is being conducted, it's listed as 0% no matter what, until it increases by a certain amount and is listed properly.

Second, the game auto-pauses for research completion, but only does so about half the time.  The other half, the research completes and you don't know about it until you look and realize that a bunch of your scientists are unallocated, and what they were working on is no longer on the research menu.

I have found another problem.
It appears before your first crew menber dies.
In the next  mission, if I don't re-equip my crew or my aircraft, the stage starts with no 'actors' in my team.


PD: I have seen  the research completion bug, also.

This sounds to be a new bug, jjavier. Please confirm it in RC5 when it comes out (or latest xdelta).

The research part is a bit shady. I would like a progress bar or some larger indicator of what is going on.

Can you elaborate on this bug? I tried a new campaign in the SVN version, did the farm mission and made sure one of my soldiers died at the hands of an alien. Then without going to any of the base screens I went on to the next mission and noticed nothing out-of-place (had 7 fully equipped guys). Did I do something wrong?

Regarding the research completion: maybe the scientsts are just surfing the internet or playing strategy games instead of working ;-) ?
