Nov. 2020 : when I force quit the game to avoid the last save / continue quirk, the game deleted all my saves for that mission/scenario, with no way to getting them back!!! When I played the campaign, I CONSTANTLY kept backups! But yesterday I played a scenario (mod), for over 4 hours, and wanted to finished today... will never happen! 7 years later, you still enforce this rather brutally unfriendly save system.

Still an issue in Nov. 2020.

Turns out I misinterpreted the meaning of this Steam achievement ("saving yourself" is triggered by helping Miller/CRTG instead of NATO). The text is confusing, especially as another achievement right beforehand it given for taking a side at the end...

Hmm, I think I get it now :

Game freezes totally when I open the map, in single player (The East Wind mission file tanoa_intro1) while in a humvee and during a vocal briefing about the mission.
Other condition : after loading a manual Exit Saved game.
To be precise : the mouse freezes completely and can no longer be used on the PC (forcing me to use Cntl-Alt-Del > Sign Out of Windows).

I add my +1 here.

Another issue related to this :

I was able to recreate it but it is not completely 100% you need to do it in a specific way. Either way ticket created and we will see what can be done.

Please delete this bug report.

And you managed to do it around 6x times If I counted correctly. We are aware of the problem, but it is really rare with no 100% repro.

I as well tried to recreate this issue but most of the time the vehicle either does not explode or explodes right away. So it is really tricky to trigger.

We might get to tweaking the AI, but I can't promise you anything.

FYI : I checked and the AI Skill level is set to 70 in my settings.

Skill Levels : forgot to check that. Would they evade if their skill level was increased ? I do don't think so, but need to test it.

OK, so I did over 100 tests I think, though I stopped counting so not sure ...

Cool, I will gladly conduct tests in the editor (without any mods just to be sure) for this issue (set three tanks: 2 in LOS, 1 targeted but out of sight and command an AT soldier) and also for the other one issue I also posted recently (AI not evading their exploding vehicle).

Hello.

Could you create a test mission where you can be sure that it always occurs?

Could you please upload here a video of the situation?

10m is just around the launcher min. range.

Basically, any damage or 'attack' you do is treated like you had fired at them and revealed your position. Ironically, this reaction has many exceptions for bullets, like if you have a silencer and do not fire too often, you remain hidden.

This is NOT at all resolved. I have therefore created a Subtask.

I am a bit pissed ... I had to restart Supply Network mission from scratch three times yesterday due to this uncool logic.

I am a bit pissed that it is tagged Fixed, when it is not at all in single player campaigns.

From what I can see, this is how the game was designed, so probably not a bug as such, but a buggy design.

Sept. 2017 : when playing the campaign, with no mods at all, fresh new install from Steam, trying to resume where I left off (Save and Exit) is a chaotic frustrating mess.
