deanfrz Posted December 27, 2003 Report Share Posted December 27, 2003 So I'm playing my first game of Xcom on Superhuman difficulty and since I decided to play "Ironman" I had only one saved game. April rolled around and Mr. Floater came knocking. I did great despite(or possibly because) the fact that half my troops were locked away with all my rocket launchers in a corner of the base due to the ol' door bug (where the halls leading to other sections of the bases are walled in; in case you didnt remember). So as I'm finally beginning to push the jerks back, I have to eat dinner, so I save the game. When I get back, I make some moves, hit endturn and crash to the desktop. I do this several more times before giving up in dispair. Now I'm wondering if, using editors I managed to cheat my way out of the battlescape, would it still be considered "ironman." Cause I'm doing really good and I dont wanna give this game up.also, does anyone know how I'd "cheat my way out of the battlescape"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitewashed Posted December 27, 2003 Report Share Posted December 27, 2003 I've quit saving in the battlescape in all 3 games since I've found there's always a small chance that something goes wrong there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[stewart] Posted December 27, 2003 Report Share Posted December 27, 2003 There are patches and I think XcomUtil fixes the disjoint base bug. If you design your base right though the dsjoint base bug can be exploited to give you an extra faciltiy whilst maintaining a choke-point. At anyrate if your game exhibits this problem make sure to keep a hangar in the SE corner of the base and you'll never have anything isolated. Edit: Xcom is known to f-up a lot in battlescape. Save one geoscape game and one battlescape. You can at least replay the battle fro the start if it crashes on you. Replaying from scratch because of a crash I should think is acceptable under IRONMAN rules, afterall it's not YOUR fault if the computer hangs.
