Squad not in battle?

[licker]

Seems to me they are there...

What does that mean and why can't I finish the 2nd mission in the savannah campaign?

I used autosave if that matters at all...

[Thorgrim]

You haven't by any chance retrieved them from battle, have you?

[licker]

Not that I was aware of.

I was in the 2nd mission of the campaign, and went back to an earlier save (also used autosave a couple of times, trying to figure out what certain actions would do) and when I finally finished the mission I got that message and the team at HQ was in the state before they started the mission.

There may have been some other glitch, I get occasional CTDs, but nothing I've been able to replicate or otherwise figure out.  Its not a huge deal (necessarilly) as I just restarted the mission and got through it ok afterwards.

Do you know what can cause that situation so that I can try to avoid it?

If you loose/win a mission this status is saved to your squad data. If you reload the same mission from ingame saves afterwards, you are not allowed to finish it again as the squad is officially 'not in battle'.

Btw game can crash with multi core CPUs. Details on a workaround : tm.asp?m=1729557

That makes sense Larkin.  I'm not sure that that's what I did, but its possible I finished the mission and then went back to a save.

The odd thing was that the status of my jocks reflected their state after mission 1, not mission 2.

Anyway, I'm more down with the iron man type saveing now, so I don't think I'm going to have alot of save/reload going on.  I was only doing it since I'm a noob and was trying out different stuff.

Hmmmmm...

This is interesting. I'm not sure what's happened, but the game clock is counting up without any actions being taken. It's frozen on UPDATE: Knightrage (one of my titans) and the clock just keeps going. Any ideas? I can't retreive the squad because it's $300k + and I don't have that much, and if I restart the program or load from autosave it's still stuck and the clock keeps going. (It's at 4500-something)

Annoying because I've spent some time building this squad. They aren't the Rank 7/8 guys I'd had in v1.4, but still, it's a Regular rank squad.

[CrushU]

Ah. Interesting.

Looked around here a bit longer and found the R key fix. Odd that it did it in a singleplayer game.

[LarkinVB]

Do you still have the savegame ? I'd like to investigate.

[CrushU]

No. I usually only use the Autosave if anything.

... Not quite an IronMan, because I autoload if I get headcapped at max range by a GMH4 rack all hitting my head. ... Yes, it's happened. -.- Love those 98% tohit kicks that fail, and then I fall on the subsequent 93% check. I've also missed three 98% tohits in a row. Didn't load, but daaaamn...

Of course, to balance it out a little, had an Apparition kill a Pariah in one round due to hitting the head with both chainsaws. Ouch. And in the same battle, it hit head of a Whip with a chainsaw, finished off the GMH-damaged RT, causing it to fall and hit its head again, killing it. And later it hit in the Head AGAIN with a single chainsaw to finish off the last Light. That pilot was extremely lucky that battle.

But back on topic; No, I didn't save that game. If it happens again i'll be sure to get a save for ya, Larkin.
