It's confirmed that living in waring country does not require to abandon usual habits until your city district assault.
Dioxine's country was not invaded nor bombed same as will not be in foreseen feature due to longstanding political reasons. It even was mentioned in complete different context so war factor itself should not be overestimated.

That might be a fair point. I genuinely don't know much about what living near an armed conflict is like.

Well, it has been 3 months now and previous updates much more consistent. Is Dioxine okay?

I don't want to add to the rumormill and keep in mind I'm just a random observer/lurker here so I have as much information as you do, but a few pages ago on this topic Dioxine did mention that he's living in a certain area where war has broken out. I'm just guessing but I think that might be the reason why he's not posted here at least. Hopefully they're completely fine but given recent events I fully expect a long delay.

Yup. Nightly build did indeed fix the issue. Thanks for both the suggestion and alerting me of the existence of the nightly build. Much appreciated.

I'm currently playing on version 7.14 of OXCE and 2.1b of X-Com Files and I just came across a hard crash whenever I try to start the UAC Weapons Distribution mission. It happens the moment I click the OK button from the mission preparation screen. I do have the Resound Mod active but just to make sure it wasn't the cause I uninstalled it and still had the error.

Yeah I ended up just resetting after I lost two of my bases. I think the biggest problem in the first play through was diddling around with all the weapon requisition techs that I wasn't even going to end up using. I did have the kitsune and the interceptor and I believe my best weapon was the black-ops magnum/regular magnum depending on money I want to spend. They carried my past the humanish enemies and some of the weaker enemies after that, but fighting the underground aliens was hard with just magnums and grenades as the mainstay weapon.

The X-Com Files / USA just signed a pact with unkown aliens. How boned am I?

« on: May 04, 2021, 06:10:51 am »

So I've just started my first play through of the X-files and I'm having a blast. So far it's been pretty fun. However at the end of one of the months, I suddenly see that the USA has withdrawn from the Xcom project because of a pact with unknown forces. I've been trying to shoot down whatever UFO's I could potentially find and I do have a radar base situated in the USA, but I don't have the hyper-wave decoder so I probably missed some sort of diplomatic or infiltration mission. That notification suddenly made me doubt how my progress has been. Score wise I've been doing great, and I haven't yet had a month where I lost too much council scoring. Am I behind the tech curve and should I have researched more ways to prevent this? Or is it just inevitable that one or two nations are going to get subverted?  Should I consider this campaign lost or might I be able to salvage a win from this? Currently the in-game date is 3/7/1999. Honestly I wouldn't mind starting over as my first playthrough was pretty unfocused, not really targeting/focusing techs that might be important or could have saved me.
