Trojan virus and stationary enemies bug
Posted: Mon Jun 26, 2017 4:34 am
Hi there,
I'm going to answer the listed questions one by one:
1) The version of Long War you are playing.
2) The platform you are playing on.
3) What other XCOM2 mods you are playing with.
4) The circumstances of the bug or precise steps to produce it.
5) Whether you are able to offer a savegame for us to look at.
1) Long War 2 version 1.4
2) Windows 10
3) Perfect info; Blackmarket usage; Gotcha again; Quick end turn; EvacAll; ModConfigMenu
4) In the attached save file, my specialist hacked the turret while in concealment. After two turns, trojan virus triggered, and the turret took some damage. The turret had two hp left, and the combat music was on while I'm still having the squad concealment. Then, everything on the map was bugged, and stay stationary forever. In the next turn, the turret blew up by itself, the combat music turned off, but everything still stay stationary. Save and reload does solve the problem of stationary enemies, but turret still blew itself up without me attacking. I tried again with some drones and they all took some nonlethal damage from trojan virus and bugged to death in the next turn.
In addition, the 'quick end turn' button (from the Quick end turn mod) became nonfunctional when this bug occurs. This cannot be solved by save&load but can be solved by deleting all .ini file in the config folder.
On the side note, I had this stationary enemy bug a while ago when I was playing a supply raid mission. An enemy caught on fire while I was in concealment and the combat music turned on. And again everything on the map stayed stationary. And again, I solved the problem with Save&Load. Unfortunately, I cannot provide a save file for this one.
So all in all, it seems this stationary enemies bug triggers whenever an enemy took damage and not died while the squad was in concealment. The trojan virus bug is just weird. I guess the mechanical units can't handle too many bugs. It's more lethal than a trojan virus! lul.
5) Yes, I will attach the save file here.
Hope it helps.
Chris
PS: It seems I cannot attach the save file directly in this post, so I will attach a dropbox link then.
