Title: Game hang when Civillian units are spending their TUs
Post by: LobsterKing on December 23, 2020, 05:29:21 pm

In a terror mission, my game has hanged or stuck. It didn't crash, but hanged like the civilian unit was caught doing something and not able to finish what it is doing.

I check the logs, this was shown

[24-12-2020_02-21-09]   [WARN]   No free channels available

Any idea what the error is?

In order to help a lot more is needed.
Try (as attachment):
* Full log file
* OXC(E) version you are using
* List of mods you are using
* When possible .. savegame just before it happens

I am using the latest version of OXCE, this hanging problem commonly happen when I spawn too many civilians in a battlescape terror mission. This is a small mod of mine, unfortunately the logs has been overwritten and same as the save game.  It is a common occurrence, I will post it next time..

Fair enough.

Since you already hinted it may be caused by your small mod, please include that one as well. If the error is difficult to track people will need it for debugging purposes.
