Nice writeup Acosta
But i gotta say you lost probably one of few soldiers capable of destroying the alien threath, your only choice now is to start over again

fuck i died

My game is pretty glitchy: in large, crowded maps some tiles get messed up (it shows even in my report). Your problem seems to be different though. Silly question: have you tried centering the view on one of your soldiers?Gexecuter said:In other news i have encountered a little problem, i went head and attacked an alien base while an alien craft was right on it, as soon as the the battle started i noticed something wrong: Everything was black! everything except the interface was black so i couldn't see anything, to make matters worse my last save in the geoscape was awhile ago. I'm gonna check if i can fix it somewhow otherwise i am reloading my save.

My suggestion is: abort the mission. You'll get a poor ranking (but that's nothing) but you shouldn't lose your craft and your soldiers.
Versipellis said:Well, NeoGAF, you should be proud. Just renaming my soldiers with the nicknames of some of the people here makes wonders: I've just won a terror mission at turn-1, without firing a single shot. :lol
Versipellis said:I don't know why, but sometimes (not too often, of course) it happens that you arrive at a terror site (and at a UFO location too, I think) and as soon turn 1 starts, it ends. You get points from alien artifacts and nothing else.

Luckily only stun this time.

Gexecuter said:I tried centering the view on one my soldiers, still nothing. I even went to the map and it showed darkness, no estructures no nothing, just some spots that i think represent my soldiers. I am gonna do as you say and abort the mission, thanks for the suggestion. Oh here's a picture showing what i'm talking about:

Aliens have fatal wounds when you down their UFOs.Gexecuter said:Wut? How did that happen? :lol
It happened during a Terror Mission, no fatal wounds involved. It was just a bugSquire Felix said:Aliens have fatal wounds when you down their UFOs.
Oh shoot, I can't read. Thats quite the bug, were you able to recover anything/get a good rating?Versipellis said:It happened during a Terror Mission, no fatal wounds involved. It was just a bug![]()
It gave me 60 points for some alien artifacts, nothing more (no civilian saved, alien corpses, etc.)Squire Felix said:Oh shoot, I can't read. Thats quite the bug, were you able to recover anything/get a good rating?

Mindlog said:I've got a solid group of Psi-Resistant troops.
I've got some spare Heavy Plasma Hovertanks.
I've got 3 Avengers, several firestorms and more interceptors keeping the Earth skies clear.
The end of the month just passed giving my troops one more small Psi-Strength boost.
It's time.

Me too.Air Zombie Meat said:I definitely enjoy the beginning of the game the most.
Versipellis said:Me too.
Once you gain access to all the most advanced weaponry, you just have to wait until your soldiers receive enough training in PSI labs. You don't have any reason to recover crashed UFOs, 'cause there are so many of them that you just crash them down and you still get excellent ratings even if you leave the very large ones alone and even if you fail terror missions.
No doubt about it.Air Zombie Meat said:Still one of the best games of all time though![]()
