I dont know why but it goes as he like...

I explain:

1) Sometimes the game hangs up with no reason.

2) At the end of mission I got the result of the preview mission :(

3) The mission starts, then ends after 2/3 turns and then look at point 2 :(

What can i do?


P.S: I changed my Sign to comply with an Eng NG :))

What version are you runing?

DOS or windows?

if your runing DOS make sure you install the 2.0 and beta patches as
they fix many crashes and research bugs.

links for them can be found on the xcomutil homepage
http://xcomutil.scotttjones.com

if your runing the windows version, then all I can say is, save
offten.

Hmm, this sounds very similar to the bug that happens when you save the
game while interceptors are minimized in UFO.  Don't know if that bug
exists with TFTD or not, but as I said, it sounds the same.  If so, the
only reliable way to get past it is to reload from before it happened.
Even if this isn't the case, it sounds like there's corrupted data there,
and you'll need to reload from a save from a few battles back and continue
from there.
