There was one such bug on sf. Could you look at it and say if it needs to be reopened? Or just open a new one and, please, attack base/ufoconsole.log.

My game shuts down with no error message or anything every time i reach 11th march, or complete the "Altdorf" mission, wich appears a few days before. I don't know if there is anywhere I can check what happens, as I'm not too good at computers.

Otherwise it's a great game. Good work!

I mean, attach the file base/ufoconsole.log. E.g. here on the forum. Or on Sourceforge. :)

This is what it shows when the game shuts down when reaching 11th march. I didn't include the startup part of the ufoconsole file, but i could put it up if you want to see it.

Edit: Here's the log when I play the altdorf map. It's only the end, but the rest is just "team 1 round", "team 7 round" and all those texts that appear in combat. I think I can see the problem :) (though I don't know how to solve it)

Team 1 ended round, team 7's round started!

Thank you. I think now, the pdi map (the one in the mission causing problems) is broken. You could remove "pdi" from base/ufos/campaign.ufo and try again, though the savefile may already be corrupted. But maybe not...

What program should I use to open the file?

Any text editor should do the trick.

I'm not sure if it will fix your Mar 11 problem. That sounds like a separate more serious issue.

Ok, I tried to remove "pdi", but the game still shuts down when i click the continue button after copleting the mission. I haven't tried just skipping the mission, to see if it still crashes at 11th march.

How can you get the pdi mision if you removed it from the missions.ufo file? Do you load a game where the mission is already on geoscape? I'd rather load an earlier game...
