Bugs prior to release 2.4 / Mission on Hills crashed..

« on: July 31, 2011, 07:56:05 pm »

Hi all,
I have installed the game again and it's much more better now. Soldiers are not in the same direction, armour collection was also fixed and weapon accuracy is also a bit better than before. Snipers may even kill a Taman w/o armour in a single shot..
However, the game has just crashed:

UFO fighters need at least 2 crafts to shoot down safely

2 crafts? I just target the fighter and wait until the fighter is flying towards the interceptor, then order the interceptor return back to base and SAM sites (Base defence) smash the fighter down very easy..

Hi all,
I have installed the game again and collected the alien armour in a second mission! I hope more bug were fixed..

I'm weak so maybe I will install it again. If the missing armour issue was fixed, then I may change my mind (don't have to steal saves). I have uninstalled the game but I didn't have to. I'm getting a new ssd drive tomorrow (hope so) and will install Win and linux as a fresh install so I'm going to start from scratch. It will take some time until I tune the systems up and then I can play again..

I downloaded last night the latest installer for Windows and the armour problem still persists. I also had a problem with BTR file system on my linux system and I can't access the /home directory anymore. It means that all data (the game, saves etc..) on it is lost. I'm not going to install it again so we can close this thread..

Often this results in many of them dying due to touching down right next to a bunch of aliens.

That's right, I have to retry almost each crash fighter mission at least twice to get a better map or I would be without soldiers too soon...

Linux / Re: Problems with 2.4 version..

« on: July 17, 2011, 06:47:59 pm »

But this is not on a single map. This is in all maps from the Middle East suburban areas. You have to fix the issue with all soldiers in the same direction and you will fix this bug as well. When I play the crashed fighter sites, all soldiers are heading the same way as aliens, however, mostly in front of their guns and each time the first soldier turns back, they open fire and kill him or kill the highest ranking soldier (the best). I can't see an alien even when he is standing next to me and other soldier is behind and watching also forward. I need to turn every single soldier by 360 degrees to find out if any aliens are around. I mean that everybody covers approx 180 degree area in front of him by his pair of eyes but the Phalanx soldiers cover definitely less in the 2.4 develop version..
I will try to get a screenshot if possible..

When I play the middle East suburb mission, one soldier can't move at all and has to stay at the Firebird.

I have noticed that the soldier who can't move in the Middle East missions is in a different direction. It's probably related to the bug that all soldiers are watching the same direction, mostly the same way as the Firebird landed...

Tactics / Re: Where/why/how many bases do you build?

« on: July 11, 2011, 02:55:01 am »

I always have the maximum allowed (7 or 8 ). The first is in the middle of the USA. 2 workshops, 3 labs and soldiers. The second is in the South America, again in the centre. 2 labs, 3 workshops, soldiers. The others are max 2 of them with up to 5 labs and the rest is just for pure production with max 5 workshops. 2 are in Africa, 1 in Europe and 2 in Asia. I have max 2 Ufo Yards and 1 radar. Three or two SAM sites around each base. With the laser turrets they can take even a harvester down. Fighters and Scouts are a piece of cake for them..

Of course, this is playing 2.4 dev, where all soldiers start with a stat range of 25-40 instead of 12-35 like in 2.3

That's right but shooting performance is the same like in the 2.3 trunk or even worse..
In the 2.4 dev trunk are aliens at the second floor (4 level) already and mostly coming down by one or two a round. They usually trap me at stairs so now I just wait until they come all down...
In the 2.3.1 or 2.3 trunk I got all men into the building and covered all stairs. Then I moved up to each level with the auto fire mode. 2 or three stayed always on the roof so it's was easy to kill them.
Guns:
Default missions: 2 snipers, 2 laser rifles (assault weapons), 2 heavy lasers (machine guns or electro rifles), 1 grenade launcher, 1 rocket launcher..
Big City: 2 snipers, 2 laser rifles, 2 heavy guns, grenade and rocket launcher soldiers equipped by a flamethrower, plasma pistol or microshotgun.
Flamethrower and plasma pistol guys cover the left back stairs and the front and back right stairs cover two groups by each of the guns remained...

i may think a way to cheat the game to research them

Me too, I have borrowed a save from here..
I have noticed that there are only 2 alien armours (in 4 bases) so far. I have no idea when the armour was collected but it looks like only one or two were collected and nothing else so far even when I killed many alien with them. I guess that there is a particular mission and when you miss it, the armour won't come up anymore..
The crashed fighter missions (I need it for credits) are really terrible. I'm sick of them. 4 of 5 missions start with a crashed ship behind and 5 aliens (mostly with heavy or a light armour) with plasma blasters or rifles in the autofire mode. Turn a soldier back and they open fire. They mostly kill at least 2 soldiers and I can't even shoot because the other soldiers are behind the Firebird and can't get into the action until the next round. I must skip at least 3 maps until I get some playable one. I always enjoyed the game but the newest trunk is very poor. Snipers shoot worse than my little niece. They get killed when are in a fight against Tamans without armour and equipped by a single plasma pistol from a long range..

Bugs prior to release 2.4 / Re: Landed UFO mission problem build 13082337

« on: July 09, 2011, 04:16:20 pm »

Hi, I have played the saved mission. All aliens were in the Harvester and I got there and killed them without a scratch..
May I suggest something?? You have got 2 million credits and half built bases. Build more workshops and laboratories (I have research bases or production bases)! You can also build more SAM sites to protect the bases. You may build 3 sites for a base so one or two UFO Yards is enough, one RADAR site somewhere where are no bases and the rest just SAM sites near the base. It helps you to take down fighters or even harvesters. Just intercept a fighter, wait until is flying towards your interceptor and then in a good moment order the interceptor back to base. SAM sites and base rocket launchers take the fighter down without loosing the interceptor in a lost battle...

This looks like more serious. I have downloaded a tested version for Windows and the same problem persist even on Windows!! I don't think that this is a coincidence...
