Found some janky floating sand tiles on a desert map (highlighted with cursor for emphasis):

Greetings,

On my latest (recently started) play through, I started getting segfault crashes sometimes during battles.
From logfile:
Quote
[25-10-2019_10-10-04]   [FATAL]   A fatal error has occurred: Segmentation fault.
[25-10-2019_10-10-04]   [FATAL]   0x5d7690 OpenXcom::CrossPlatform::stackTrace(void*)
[25-10-2019_10-10-04]   [FATAL]   0x5d8b80 OpenXcom::CrossPlatform::crashDump(void*, std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&)
[25-10-2019_10-10-04]   [FATAL]   0x41c340 signalLogger(int)
[25-10-2019_10-10-04]   [FATAL]   0x77529120 RtlCaptureStackContext
[25-10-2019_10-10-04]   [FATAL]   0x77507a90 RtlGetAppContainerNamedObjectPath

I managed to recreate the crash reliably 99% of the time in the save I'm attaching. Following the sequence: The selected unit fires 2 snap shots at enemy 4 -> Clicking the Don't Reselect Unit button -> Hovering the mouse over the top left corner of the Select Next Unit button (as shown on the screenshot) -> segfault.

I can always avoid moving the mouse over that particular place, but I guess you'd be interested in that problem :)

I don't recall being reported before.

Rat armor string missing.

Interesting, but I couldn't replicate this problem. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, like not placing the cursor in the right spot... But anyway, sounds weird.

This armour doesn't exist in the actual game. Either you're in Quick Battle or cheating.

No cheating. In an actual campaign. EDIT: I attach the game save for further check.

I didn't bother researching the X-Rats until I had the scientist to spare. And in the next mission I captured one.
But selecting that armor doesn't do anything. Nor MMB.

Hello,

I've just encountered this ctd - it happened after sending my team to Cyberweb Heist and clicking "Begin Mission". Screenshot and save attached.

yes thats known to happen.
few pages back there´s a work around.

You simply need to replace the coordinates with something more sensible (i.e. within the boundaries). You can find the mapset in the terrain.rul - simply search for the map name and modify [12,6,0] to something thats within the listed boundaries.

I've catched the same today when I was assaulting RD safe house. Ver. 1.0.

Following the sequence:
step 1. The selected unit fires 2 snap shots at enemy 4
step 2. Clicking the Don't Reselect Unit button
step 3. Hovering the mouse over the top left corner of the Select Next Unit button (as shown on the screenshot)

...and then what? does the segfault happen when you're just doing nothing? or do you click on the button? or something else?

PS: can you please attach the whole log file please.

I've catched the same today when I was assaulting RD safe house. Ver. 1.0.

Any more details... please? Logfile, savefile, instructions to reproduce...

Okay, I found and fixed the problem. Thanks for reporting it, I'm grateful.

No problem.
I found a missing string.
EDIT: The STR_GHOSTS (sorting menu) is also missing.
Spoiler:
It's after the Asylum mission. I had recovered some ectoplasm from those surveys and built a ghost tank.

why has the scatter blaster such a low production cost compared to the other blasters?
shouldn't it be a lot more, compared to e.g. a rifle or pistol?
