Discussion / can't create 3rd base

« on: June 08, 2012, 01:11:56 am »

Hi, I don't think it's a bug so I post it here. I can't create my third base. I'm on 19. may of first year and want to create my 3rd base in asia, after having built one in europe and n-america. But I can't, if I click create base, nothing happens. Anyone know what's up with that? I have enough funds.

EDIT: Found out myself that I needed to destroy an offsite installation. I searched your wiki and googled for a reason why no base could be built, maybe it would help others to mention somewhere that you need free offsite slots. And an UI element telling the player how many slots there are total/already in use would be very helpful.

Windows / Game won't let me enter mission

« on: June 05, 2012, 04:03:17 am »

Hi, still playing on win 7 64 bit, 2.5 dev version. I crashed a ufo harvester and wanted to enter the ground mission (mansion map), but when I click enter (firebird, fully loaded with soldiers), nothing happens and the firebird gets idle. I can auto resolve, but I can't load the mission. Tried reloading and restarting the game, no results.

Reloaded a former save, crashed ufo again, harbor map this time, no problem entering and winning. Maybe mansion is broken in the current release? Or is it most likely a savegame bug? I should mention I use 2.4 saves, because I was told they should be compatible.

Windows / Stuck after winning battle

« on: June 01, 2012, 05:20:02 am »

Hi,

I very much enjoy your game and want to report a bug I encountered: I shot down a small alien craft (don't know name yet, am a very new gamer, it is one of the slowest ones with 3 aliens onboard) and sent my troops there for a ground mission. I killed the 3 aliens and when the battle should have ended, nothing happened and my soldiers couldn't do any actions, I could tell them where to shot and in which mode, but they never shot and never went where I told them. I restarted the game, re-did the battle (different map) and that time, it worked. 3 aliens.

Some notes: I had the feeling the music was off. There was not the typical battle music, but something that appeared like background music, originating from somewhere on the map. Also, it was a settlement in russia, at night. Please tell me if it is important which map it was, I'll try to remember and describe, but right now I really need to go to bed, you stole my sleep very successfully

EDIT: I didn't want to open an extra thread to keep the area clean, but could somebody tell me if the nightly 2.5 build is save and bug-free (or at least as bug-free as 2.4)? I don't want to risk anything, but the screens look juicy
