Tactics / Question about heavy weapons.

« on: November 15, 2012, 08:26:16 am »

Used search came up with either obsolete or not at all. Anyway I'm curious to what the heavy stat does. I know the weapons went through a change of shot types with 2.5 dev, but I cannot find a weapon that actually uses the heavy skill for anything. All heavy weapons use close/assault/High Explosives. Is it a booster for weapons classified as heavy or maybe it just didn't fit with the new weapon fire modes?

Basically I'm looking for a rundown on what the heavy skill influences and if possible how much, specifically in 2.5 dev. Thanks!

Discussion / Hi! Another question.

Not sure if this is the right forum area for this specific tech question but it doesn't really fit anywhere else. The nightly build download for 2.5 dev *Trying to update to get weight system so I can adjust for future builds*. Anyway when I download the nightly build it gets to about 40-60 mb complete downloading at about 1.3mb/s and it stops saying it is complete.

Just asking if anyone knows why or what could be causing this. Thanks!

Edit: Got it to work by pausing every 40 mbs and restarting the download. Seems that the only problem was 1-70mb or so.

Bugs in stable version (2.5) / Round of strange events.

So I'm using 2.5-Dev the most current version. I've got windows 7 64 bit and a Geforce 550 ti graphics card with latest drivers. 4 gbs of ram.

Anyway I've experienced several interesting crashes/problems so far. The first was I have had two missions of crashed scout ships that if I enter them they load up.. everything goes fine until the first round begins then it teleports me back to the geoscape with all my soldiers critically wounded. *Ended up ignoring this mission due to this* If I auto mission it everyone dies every single time and I lose. Sometime it will begin and all my soldiers will be very very close to death and bleeding from the get go.

After skipping that mission I encountered a mission that I had to auto mission due to it locking up the game.

And finally.. where I am now.. I'm in a mission that introduces the hoverbots and I can get about halfway through and it crashes. One time it auto abandoned it and I had to go back in from round 1.

Attaching my log and my save file to see if anyone else has my issues.

Uh.. log doesn't seem to be there. I made one.. it hasn't successfully saved properly I suppose, due to the game locking up and windows not allowing me to select to save the log.
