40k Bug/crashes/problem´s report

[Cristao]

Crash at start due to missing sound file. I used the 40k_noanims_020 route. I will try the full update now.

EDIT: Full update didnt have same issue. Earlier bug still occurred with trying to find waypoint in Indian Ocean for alien retaliation mission.

I have attached the game file. Mods implemented by myself which I doubt would cause the crash are stronger flares, addition of new armor, soldier stat changes.

Looking at attached file using Notepad++, Lines 8716 to 8724 (replicated below) refer to the bug

  - type: STR_ALIEN_RETALIATION
    region: STR_INDIAN_OCEAN
    race: STR_FLOATER
    nextWave: 0
    nextUfoCounter: 0
    spawnCountdown: 150
    liveUfos: 0
    uniqueID: 27
    missionSiteZone: -1

EDIT2: Changed region from Indian Ocean to Austrailiasia in file. So far so good - I could continue. I dont know the long term effects of my change but I could continue playing.

Sorry it took so long to respond, but the Indian Ocean crash is because we're missing missionZones for the the oceans. It'll be fixed in the next release.

I just had a crash when starting a Battlefield mission. The log says it failed to generate a map. It's the first time i see this mission so i dont know if maybe its just not finished yet.

Can you give us a save just before this happens? We can't tell at all what's happening from just the log.

[Nissandre]

Sorry, i came back here too late and that save is history. Any ways that's the only time this happened, i have had several battlefield missions that worked now.

[mercy]

Problem: Instant Grenades option is greyed out. Well, I went in and set these to true:
+ Instant Grenades,
+ PSI abilities can improve, because in real life they improve, just as every skill
+ Retain Interrogated Aliens, because the Marines aren't eating interrogated aliens for dinner..

I'm playing on highest difficulty. I want my heroic, newbie imperial soldiers fighting in their panties at least able to lob a grenade or two at the enemy, before they are shot to pieces.

[ohartenstein23]

That's intentional on all parts, OXCE allows fixing of certain options in the mod. Instant grenades breaks balance, particularly with smoke grenades. Psi skill can improve and is already really strong when you have a well-trained librarian, no need to make it even stronger. Retaining interrogated enemies is also a balance thing, as capturing one of a certain type of enemy would trivialize part of the tech tree.

Thank You for your help!!
Never used smoke grenades. My "Hero of the Soviet Nation"-rookies always take incoming shots by Bending The Knee™® --> only the Holy Save-Scum might save them, but only if repeated reloading doesn't get on my nerves.
Turned these back OFF:
- PSI improv
- retain aliens
as per your suggestion.

Thank You!

I bought carapace armor for my soldiers and when they don them, their STR goes to 0 and they can't move???  WTH?

Oh, .. so this is heavy and on the first fight the newbies are too weak for carapace. AAAAAARRRRRRGH!!! :

Generally speaking, this is the most protection an ordinary man will get to use unless they get extremely lucky/prove useful enough to wear some form of powered armor. Like Power Armor it has Ceramite or armaplas (perhaps plasteel, armaplas is never really explained) molded into armor plates. This also makes it much heavier and will fatigue the wearer much faster than flak armour or power armour given that it usually lacks any kind of assisted movement systems, though that isn't always the case as semi-powered examples do exist. Usually, soldiers issued carapace armor are elite units and given light genetic enhancement to bear the weight without problems.
