Guest octeuron Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) playing CE version on win xp with ldr patch came across a bug ive never seen before; everytime i try to stun any alien, they fall but game still shows that 1 alien is in view and technically there is although he disappears. if i keep stunning with the rod, he instantly reappears only to fall and the process can be repeated indefinitely. i can only kill him, but when i do and walk over him, there is no corpse - only the weapons. is there a fix for this?

[NKF] Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Is this happening during a base defense mission? Possibly on superhuman? Just guessing the cause, but from what I remember it's possibly the bug that's associated with having too many objects in the battle that the item table is full. When the aliens fall they cannot create the body object to represent the unconscious body. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest octeuron Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 not base defence. just regular ufo mission and every single one.cannot capture/research live alien.could it be that i loaded an old save on a different computer?

yarrow Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) I can confirm that bug ( in unmodified version of ufo ) I had come to this bug many!! times ... but ONLY in alien bases, not on regular missionsperhaps other missions with larger alien number, which in turns converts to many items on the ground to be created( as NKF suggests ) can produce the same bug I solved this by hitting alien with small launcher stun bombs ( I assumed you want to capture not to kill )instead of using stun rods on him, over and over againsame behaviour as you observe, no alien corpse only weaponsbut this time no flashing number indicating alien ( which I could not see ) in visual rangeat the end of mission I captured alien stunned in this way ... any-way yarrow Edited February 13, 2011 by yarrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest octeuron Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 yarrow, yes this is the same exact bug that you describe. but i did notice that it may be with only specific aliens.i cannot stun mutants and snakemen with rods regardless of ship sizebut floaters and sectoids i can and yes i can stun anything with stun bomb (at least there is a workaround although annoying sometimes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarrow Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) I dont think it is connected to alien race or rankbecause sometimes I couldn't stun sectoid commander,other times it was muton soldiers ( mutants are in fallout ) or snakeman engineersIn every game I started, I had 'stun rod problems' with different alien race / rank combination I think its rather connected to stun rod itselfits pure guess here, but seems logicalafter all, I got no such problems with small launchers and since I found the perfect workaround ... problem just vanished to me ps.any area weapon should do 'the trick'any HE ( greanade or weapon ammo ), small laucher / stun bomb ... blaster bomb yarrow Edited February 17, 2011 by yarrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouisdeFuines Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Seems superhuman is rather bug-connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
