Title: Unable to target UFOs
Post by: Anarch Cassius on January 17, 2013, 10:08:58 am

With builds from the past few days I cannot target a UFO. They don't appear as missions for interceptors and double clicking them just move the globe around like I click-held it.

This happened to me too as a consequence of having my fighter shot down while pilot survived.

Console log reads: ERROR: AIR_CRASHED should not be visible anywhere

Attached the save since I've discovered this is only affected the one save at the moment.

This happens again as soon as I shot down a UFO in the save before it. Wondering if it may have to do with shooting down... I think they're called Gunboats I haven't actually recovered or researched one yet. The incredibly scary things that show up around the point my save file is at.

I can click on the Harvester UFO in your save and any further.
I would be interested in the ufoconsole.log you saw that warning in.

Here it is. This is from when I loaded my previous save, shot down one of the new UFOs and got the same problem.

Interesting bit is I noticed this:

UFO was also destroyed. Not sure about that. I did in fact destroy a Fighter in my depot preping to recover one of these. I don't know it was caused by that or by me downing the Gunboat or something else.

That helps a bit but I would still need a way to reproduce it. Could you upload a save where I just need to start the time to let it happen?

I did. You shouldn't eve need to start the time.

Wait... Harvester? You're waiting for the Harvester to show up? What about the Fighter by Africa Base?

A Harvester was about to attack your base in Australia, there was no other ufos IIRC.

I can't see that Harvester at all. One tends to show up around the Middle East after a bit and there is a Fighter to the southeast of my Africa Base.

It happened to me in later game (just got Herakles), can not send interceptors to shoot down an UFO scout (reload game or restart computer does not help):

1 left click on UFO marks ufo with yellow circle
double left click moves the globe
1 righ click makes the yellow circle white again
