Game crashes on base defence
« on: June 20, 2014, 04:20:23 pm »
Hi everyone!

Maybe You will enlight me what should I do. I'm playing 1.0 and I have a base defence which causes the game to freeze and crash (before the message about the defence). I've deactivated all the mods, save is loading ok (with the proper warning about missing mods) and this time message appears and I'm into the inventory and then game hangs and crashes when I get to the third or fourth soldier. Can You help me, which mod should I get rid of before starting the game over again?
I'm providing a savegame.

Thank You.

Thread above you. We're trying to figure this out here: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php?topic=2285.0

What I did was load a previous save file and build a ton of plasma defences so it prompts the hit/miss thing for the attacking ship. Most the time they get shot down but the few times I had where it didn't it went ahead and loaded the defense mission without any hangups.

So, basically just research plasma defences asap and build about 8 of them. You need 4 hits to destroy the attacking UFO (on veteran difficulty anyway).

Did you install the Commendations Mod? If you did, turning it off is not enough, you have to swap the .exes again.

However, the fact that it happens before the mission and not after makes me think it's not related to stat tracking... the save will go a long way to help find the error though!

found the bug, it's related to having uninstalled the inventory slots mod. grab the latest nightly to fix it.
