Avatar project timer increases after a story mission completion.

Post by Isarill »

In 1.3 I have noticed that some missions related to the doom timer work weird. The libiration of a region suddenly gives you +1 pip and removes it straight after, resulting in no doom timer reduction. This has happened to me twice, but i didn't bother that much. However, after starting a psi gate mission with 10 pips on timer, I got 15 pips when I've opened the globe after the mission and then the timer was reduced by 3 which makes no sense to me.

Is this a bug or something else? Maybe someone has seen this before.

This has just happened to me. I completed the Blacksite mission with two pips left on the avatar project. After completing the mission, however, instead of going back to five pips left, I got the 'Aliens are completing the avatar project' notification and the countdown started (as if there were no pips left), and then I lost two pips immediately so I was again back to two pips left. What I assume happened is exactly what you are describing - three pips were added after the mission (the third one was 'deposited' since you can't see the additional pips you are gaining during the 24 day countdown), and then immediately removed. In this campaign I have also liberated two regions, but, now that you mention it, I haven't seen a decrease in pips whatsoever.

To be honest, I thought something was up because it's not even November in the campaign and I'm about to lose (on veteran!) even though I've lost zero soldiers. In my previous campaigns prior to 1.3 I was never under this much pressure. What's more, I can't seem to slow down the avatar project progress. No matter what I do, it is always at 0%, even after contacting 12 regions and trying to do as many missions as I can. That is also something I didn't have problems with in 1.2 so either something drastically changed in that regard or it's bugged.

We have found and fixed a bug on this and are hoping to get out an update ASAP for it.

Glad it's not just me. Not even the console command can remove pips from the doom counter with this bug in effect. I've had to set my ironman campaign aside (one pip remaining!) until this gets sorted.

Only slightly less annoying than the idiot who's spamming threads about how many reinforcement waves he can force to spawn and then kill off with console commands. Still, nope.

Was this fixed in 1.4?
