Can Continue The Game After Score Game Over (Ironman)
« on: May 04, 2014, 11:22:04 am »
On 31 april 1999 --> 1 may 1999, I got game over because of bad score. Then tried to reload, and TA DA Success and nothing happened it was on 1 may 1999. The money and situation didn't changed. I can continue the game like #$%@ing cheater.

I played on ironman mode veteran difficulty.

is this intentional or a bug?

I wonder what happen if i get game over after losing base defense mission and then tried to load the save file? Please check that as well.  ;)

I remember that this was possible in the original game, too. It was considered an exploit/bug. Not sure about OXC, though. :)

Hmmm this is a tricky one, new XCOM has a final stat screen when that happens, but we don't. :P Should we just automatically delete the save? Save right before game over?

Delete the save file? Yeah why not. Just like new X-COM.

Add a flag to the save file: "Gameover = true". Refuse to load it, or hide it from the save game list.
