Fatal Bug: Error to load mission (Ironman)

Post by Dwarfling »

Version: 1.4
Additional mods: FLANKPREVIEW, PERFECTINFORMATION, STOPWASTINGMYTIME
Saves: yes

Save: http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/680067/save178

I was infiltrating a Retaliation precursor (Prevent Data Leak?) while I was completing an HQ Assault mission on the same region. Completed the HQ Assault, got the bonus on the Data Leak mission (120%) and I decide to run it. Anyways, I get up to get some water while the mission loads and I return to a pitch black screen with a looping sound. I Alt-F4, load the last game, now the mission loads and gets stuck with the "Alien Activity" sign on screen and a sound bug. Tried Restartlevel and RestartMap but it doesn't fix it.

I used "endbattle xcomwins". Takes me out of the mission with a loss. Too bad it was a mission I was planning on winning easily.

That upload site wants my email address to send me a download link, and I'm really not interested in their spam. Can you upload it elsewhere or I can pm you my email address to send it to me.

Thanks, got the save this time. The black screen with looping sound on mission start is often because the mission was created referencing a map parcel that is no longer installed. I've seen this several times when someone has had a map pack installed and then disabled it in the middle of a campaign. But since the ones I've seen don't play ironman they have a backup save from before the missions started. Looking at the save it's consistent with this - the map info is corrupted, and the entire mission state is messed up too.

If you didn't disable a map pack during this campaign, I'm not sure what to say. This doesn't look to be LW2 related though.

Haven't installed any map packs or gameplay mods. Only mods I use: flankpreview, perfectinformation, showhealthvalues, stopwastingmytime, upcomingeventsinhours.
