And what about your last geoscope autosave that the game makes, any issues loading that?
You can load geoscape but not tactical mission. Then the tactical mission freezes randomly halfway so theres no way to get through it. I save the tactical mission half way to prevent that from affecting progress but that save also failed to load. All in all, its a lot of wasted hours. I tried 3 times, all 3 times over 2 hours I encountered the same issue. Wasted me 2 hours of my life.
Also, since we can no longer load mid mission saves. this game becomes an automatic ironman which is something I think most of us here cannot handle.
Just played 3 tactical in a row with geoscape in between with no problems.
Itâs sounding like they mean that saving mid-battle and then loading those saves has issues, which I suppose might be seen as a major issue for those prone to constantly saving and reloading every time something you donât like happens.
But certainly not grounds for telling everyone to not patch and that the game is unplayable and broken under the new patch.

Did you try saving mid mission?
I usually do not save scum but what happens is that after the patch, my tactical mission locks up randomly mid mission too.
I wonât need to do that if the patch donât cause my game to randomly freeze mid mission.
just had a similar issue, while playing a âdestroy nestâ mission. I didnât notice a mind controlling bug.
I had a guy controlled by Siren during alien turn, then during mine, disabled sirenâs head and reduced itâs WP to 0. Next alien turn never completed
Left several minutes for aliens turn to complete, but it seemed stuck, had to close the game
EXACTLY. Mine had to do with having sirens in the mission too!
So, I tried again, but this time, I save along the way. Then it happened again, I tried to load the save and it didnât work. Game is officially broken.
read the issue broâŚ
If you have a siren in your nest, then youâre clearly loading a tactical save from before the last patch unless youâve found another bug with the fix that stops Sirens spawning in nest missions.
Try seeing how things go continuing your game from your last Geoscope save. The game autosaves after each mission (or before ambushes) so there should be one somewhat close to where you last were.
LATEST UPDATE: I decided to give it a try again, loaded the autosave and redeploy the mission and this time round, the mission wonât even load. Has this to do with the fact that it is a living guns DLC mission?
See this Finn.
If youâre trying to load a tactical save from BEFORE the patch such as in a nest with a siren or something similar, then try your last geoscope save before reporting âThe patch is brokenâ.
If youâre starting a new mission and youâre seeing Sirenâs in your nest missions still, then report that as a new bug in the bug report section. As they shouldnât be present in nest missions anymore.

I loaded a game that was just starting a tactical mission first turn and then played through for about an hour, I did only save on the geoscape though.
Seems like it has something to do with the fact that it is a living guns DLC mission.
Could well be in that case as I have nât got that tech yet.
I decided to try again, loading the autosave and then deploying into the mission again. This time round, the mission wonât even load and gets stuck at loading⌠Seems like this patch conflicts big time with Living Guns DLCâŚ
@Tikigod that tactical mission was started after the patch.
It wasnât the first set of destroy nest missions though, goal was to destroy a spawnery. Exact mission name was âattack pandoran lairâ. Ennemies i saw before crash were : arthron, siren, triton, chiron, worm.
I found the log fles, and saved the one with the hung mission if that can help (forum wonât allow to upload non images it seems)
Started a new game after the patch and it now keeps locking up in missions. Nothing to do with living guns.
Verifying files.
Julian. I love you.
BUT
WHY do you hate close combat so much ? Does it really need to be pointed out that unavoidable damage is as bad of a design as it can possibly get ? You are forced to play the Sniper Meta Status Quo or go 100% stealth cheese. This change made it worse for anyone deviating from the default path to victory.
I mean if there really need to be a defense ability in the game that ignores Action Points and Will Cost and therefore exists outside of time and space (hint: there is no such need) then at least make it so that melee does not trigger return fire. At least this way melee weapons from the Berserker has some use.
Daze is not reliable enough.
