Windows / Dev 2.4 versus 2.3.1 Difference Question

« on: January 07, 2011, 06:29:30 am »

What's the primary difference in functionality of 2.4 (alpha/beta version) versus 2.3.1?

I've read that 2.3.1 fixes reaction fire for certain weapons or weapon modes not firing reaction.  However, it has been hard to find any current 2.4.1 build changes data in detail.

If I wasn't far enough in the current game (2.3.0 on EXE version for mine), I'd go ahead and test 2.4 beta releases now.

Also, when will the newer chacter models, skins, and weapons sounds in that teaser video start to materialize into builds?

Regards,


Havoc.

Windows / UFO Shootdown Mission crash

« on: April 04, 2008, 04:54:36 pm »

The screen displayed a green background with the words "todo" scrolling up after I won an "alien" terrorist attack mission and completed most of the research tree available regarding anti-matter, alien engines, and the fighter research.

Then game reverts back to the earth strategic view.  I go and shoot down another one of the alien ships, but when I did I noticed that information on "infection level" and max "infection" threshold was put either at the bottom of the earth strategic map or was in the research section.

I go and send the dropship to waste the alien scum and when the mission finishes, I get a C++ debug error that halts execution and forces the game to abort or it will crash.  I tested multiple saved versions to verify this was not an isolated event, and yes the same crash kept happening 100% of the time.


Has anyone else encountered this error before or have I played so far currently that the unfinished parts needed have not been done yet?
