"The Crystal Crossbow" mission not added to Geoscape

[MadSkunky]

Have you explored every Point of interest (POI) before this issue?

I ask because there was a similar bug with the last Scyther mission and I also have it with different missions. Here the link, I wrote my workaround, though it would probably not help you in your situation when you have no save with some POIs left over:

[Bug] Scyther mission not appear on map

I assume this is a main problem with missions that “need” a POI. I ran in a similar issue in a campaign and finally didn’t only get a POI for the Scyther but also for the NJ side missions “Byzantine” and so all the following. I reported this via F10 ingame report tool. My workaround for campaigns since then: I don’t explore all POIs as long as I’m not close to the end.

Make ingame a F10 report if not already done so the devs get your save with all they need to replicate your problem.
