Hello, Thought I was crazy when it happened the first time, but it happened a second time as well. When defending an ancient site, specifically: ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/snapshotgames/original/2X/a/a34166348afc7b6d9b775dc7722d76f6dfd19acc.jpeg) I keep getting set back to the autosave point automatically, before the battle after completing it successfully. It then either makes me do it again, or it fails. Groundhog day! Bill Murray would be unimpressed. Regards, OT ---

Further update, even though it showed as the first screenshot that I had to still defend the site in 2 hours: by leaving the site with my aircraft, it went away and allowed me to keep the site without further notification. If I had remained on the site as mentioned, I would have had to do the mission again. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/snapshotgames/original/2X/0/0a66f85185a7b43d4d9fe0b7ca3bbceeecdeba67.jpeg) Regards, OT ---

LOL, can’t make this stuff up… It did in fact take the site after I left with the aircraft, it was just stuck in some non-save situation where I had to quit the game. When I came back the mission failed and I lost the site. But at least I was able to save again. Good luck figuring this one out folks. Regards, OT ---

My Tiamat first attacks the infeasted aircraft. Then when I go and complete the ground mission, I was returned to the same spot and upon return to Geoscope, I was put at the same time/spot before the mission I did this twice. On my 3rd Try, the screen froze at Return to Geoscape. I cannot progress the game. any hints would be greatly appreciated!

I entered a Citadel mission, defeated the scylla (paralyzed) and evacuated all soldiers. The first mission complete screen comes up with experience gains, however upon continuing it took me to the last autosave instead of the geoscape “mission won” screen. I did go back and killed the scylla, with no change. The mission was a clear win, with lots of turns of paralyze. I have repeated it three times and can provide a save.
