[Solved] 'New Battle' 'Base Defense' is crashing in TFTD.
« on: December 21, 2021, 10:56:56 am »
I've encountered a crash when using "New Battle" from the main menu while running TFTD.

If you selected "BASE DEFENSE" the game will crash when you press the 'ok' button to launch the mission:


I checked and "New Battle" "BASE DEFENSE" missions in the original X-COM: UFO Defense load without a problem, it is just the sequel that is having problems.

There were no mods loaded when the crash occured only base TFTD was running.


Here is the openxcom.log information:
