Heya Space Man

The issue doesn't appear for me when loading into your save files attached, can you let me know exactly how and when this would happen?

Is the intro + tutorial simply appearing for you when pressing the continue button to load the auto save?

After the tutorial is over can you resume playing your save game okay?

Cheers!

Space,probably
I can indeed load it after the bug occurs (normally directly)
Also the output log may help the devs out with this.
The game loads, then it just starts the entire tutorial with intro sequence. Pretty strange.Computer specs needed? Corrupt game files?

Very strange indeed, I've taken a look at the log and there's nothing bad in there that I can see, but I'll forward this onto the rest of the team, see if they can suss out the problem.

I don't believe this has anything to do with your computer specs so they're unneeded, there may be a very slim chance that it could be corrupt game data, but it seems unlikely to me, verifying the steam game files just in case wont hurt though :)

Cheers!

@kae, I've been getting this in 1.0.0.1, while repeatedly grinding the GSO level 5 "Destroy Enemy Army" missions (to test the new explosive bolts techs, while too tired for anything else). Happens with regular save files, too.

It happens for the first time around the 10th game (re)load, then seems to happen a little more frequently after that. Maybe every 5 or 6 loads. (The first few times it happened I assumed I'd just clicked wrong *somehow*, because I'm pretty out of it...)

Reproduced it from a fresh game instance. Video starts after loading for the first time, then moving a little and re-saving (saved file and log attached):

Glitch occurs after the load game started at 5:11.

Not sure if it would repro' from just sitting in place reloading, or if the enemy action is necessary, too (part of some memory overflow issue, or such like). Not sure if clicking to load quickly (before the whole save file list has populated) has an effect, either (I had about 35 campaign save files there). [Edit: I don't think so - it's happened even when being slow and deliberate.]


I've added "[0.7.9.2]" to the thread title, as that's the last unstable patch before the report. Not sure if this is accurate. @TheSpaceMan's save files say 0.7.9 and 0.8.

Hello, I know that this is very late but I know why this happens, just not how to fix it, if your tech has sustained any significant damage then you go back to a previous save, it starts you at the beggining

holey necro, have you tried verifying that the water has been boiled correctly (verify your steam installation and game installation)?
