Frozen progress
« on: February 08, 2022, 02:36:15 pm »
Hi! Realising that there is version 2.2 I upgraded from 1.6. Basically reinstalled everything but OXCE.

My problem is that I am not getting anything more than basic missions (Cult Upperhandsion, Strange Life Form and from time to time something extra like madman, beach and such) On ingame August it was beginning to be somehow suspicious. Now I am rolling through December, nothing to research and nothing to threaten me. Looks like it got stuck on missions before first promotion (that is researched long time ago though)

There was something odd from the beginning - agents were getting all the possible awards after each mission - but I took it as a non-game-ruining thing (Maybe there is a connection).

Any idea what's the problem please?

Newest XCF requires also newest OXCE.

XCF 2.2 needs at least OXCE 7.4.4

Ok, I will give it a try. I had a feeling it may be the reason why. But on the download page is still link to OXCE 3 years old.

Thank you.

I've upgraded OXCE but nothing seemed to change. But after some juggling with files, new runs and mainly with your Wiki (by the way great work with the graph view) I found out that the Abducted Farmer mission never had appeared... never discovered Alien Fuel Trace... never got the chance to cap the personal... and ultimately never got the chance to promote to level II. After whole year in game. This may be the problem and practically ruining the run (the other attempts of new run offered the poor farmer).

Keep on good work!
