[FIXED B484] [B480] Pesky Missile Bug Freeze - caught in the act

Post by guanotwozero »

I often seem to get game freezes associated with a missile striking a target, usually when many missiles are in the air, and of course it's then impossible to make a savefile.

Now, I've got one, saved about a minute before the freeze, where I have 2 SAMs heading towards a target; the freeze happened just after one of them struck, killing the target.

However, when I reload the savefile, the two missiles immediately start running blind and self-destruct shortly after. The freeze doesn't happen.

Could this be a useful clue as to why such freezes happen?


Savefile enclosed; the relevant missiles are Talos #1546 & #1547, target is Fresco D #531.

It looks like it's very similar.

However, I don't know if that reloaded difference is due to the same problem that causes freezes, or a separate issue where the savegame doesn't persist all of the game state (e.g. missile locks).

At least it's a repeatable clue for the devs to work on.

Indeed it has. Missiles now maintain lock, target is killed and game continues without even a shudder.

Nicely done guys, thanks!
