Soldiers stuck after deployment

Post by turiel »

Hi there! Here's a bug I encountered:

1) Long War 2 v1.0
2) Steam PC
3) All of my mods are purely soldier cosmetics stuff (no new parcel mods for terrain) + mod config ui, music framework and XCOM: Enemy Unknown music pack

4) So, as on screenshots below. Sometimes (two times for me so far) when my soldiers get deployed on a mission one of them (potentially could be more) deploy in a way that makes them unable to move, since probably the game doesn't recognize them as standing on a movable tile. First screen shows a Specialist inside a lamp post and the second one a Gunner hanging in mid air.

Interestingly, they're still allowed to use all of their skills, they can shoot, overwatch, use grenades etc. - but they cannot move. The movement range doesn't even show for them.

Also - not sure if that is a bug or a feature, but: Sometimes I would get deployed what seems like nautical miles away from the objective. As seen on the first screen - it's the very edge of the map and I had to literally sprint through 3 blocks of buildings to get to the prisoners I was supposed to set free. It just feels very unfair, when just getting to the objective takes 70% of the mission, not counting the enemies on the way, a lot of the time dooming the mission to fail when this happens.

5) Unfortunately I don't have any saves, but I will provide one as soon as this happens again.

version 1.1 (with hotfix)
Happened again, this time to a captive scientist. It appears that if they land inside a cover object there are wall all around them. Only repro tip I can give is - start a mission and it happens sometimes. :|

Still annoying when it happens :C

This is an issue with the base game sometimes, and especially with larger squads over the stock vanilla number. You will have to use console commands to get them unstuck, ~TTC while selecting them and moving them to the next square over. If an issue persists and they cannot move/act, re-verify after moving.

Ah, sorry then.

It never happened to me in base xcom2, so I thought this might be a LW2 problem.

Solved!
