I have been trying this Base Attack scenario for the first time but it keeps getting stuck in random Waves, despite having killed every Zirax, drone, etc. I've tried letting it run to see if it will go away eventually, but no luck. I've run it 4 times, first time it stuck on Wave 1, then it's been wave 4, 9 and 9 again.... Is there a way to trigger it from the command console window?
Yes there is, I don't remember the exact command, but you can type "help" and it should give you a list of commands.
Can you supply the save game ? Type 'help ba' into the console for all base attack commands. ba check ba reset ba clear
I'm afraid I broke it even more now. I thought I'd try going into space and re-enter the planet, but the base attack was triggered whilst I was still in space and now the game just freezes and is "not responding". If I get the time this weekend I'll try to replicate it and attach the game here. Of the commands you suggested I had tried BA check and Reset, but not the Clear. Reset just stopped the base attacks altogether, check didn't do anything...
OK, so I tried again and got to wave 11, the zirax took over my base and now the game just freezes. Do you want that Save?
For logs go to your steam installation of EGS: SteamLibrary\steamapps\Common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\Logs Open the 2554 (current public branch build) & right click on the client log from when this happened & place your mouse cursor over 'Send to' create a compressed copy of it then drag & drop a copy in your reply box or use the upload a file option. For SP save games go to: SteamLibrary\steamapps\Common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\Saves\Games Right click on the save file & place your mouse cursor over 'Send to' create a compressed copy of it then drag & drop a copy in your reply box or use the upload a file option. If the file is too large use a file hosting site like mediafire, dropbox or google drive then add a share link to it. Thanks.
Ah yes I see had another 'NewGame' folder also in the same location I extracted these 2. Thanks will check.
Have you managed to have this happen in the default scenario at all ? (This save is using the Default Base attack scenario) Can you remember the build up to what happened before this crash starts by any chance & possibly know how to reproduce it again in another save game ? you mention it is just them taking over you base in this scenario triggers it right ? Edit: I appear to be able to trigger it when rejoining a save game after zirax have taken over the base then a drone wave starts using the 'Default Base attack' scenario.
Well, I have reproduced 6 times thus far. But always on the base attack scenario. I have rarely if ever, encountered any bugs in the default. These are the ways I have triggered it 1.- Quickly jumped to Creative and spawned a few tanks around the base. Swapped back to survival and let the tanks sort it out. The tanks destroyed all incoming ships but the game was still stuck at Wave 1 2.- Avoided creative and instead enabled the Items Menu. Spawned a debug rifle, fought off 4 waves, but then got stuck there. 3.- Avoided any cheats, played with what was there but got stuck at wave 9. 4.- Same as number 3 but with Epic rifle from the Items Menu The next two were this past weekend so a week later. 5.- Played normally and the game froze, around wave 4 I think 6.- Enabled Items Menu, got an Epic rifle. Fought them till wave 11 where they took over the base and I died. I respawned, ran outside to get my backpack and the game froze. That's the save game you have now. The "build up" to the game freezing? The only thing I can think of is that I was getting bombarded like crazy. Many drones and troops all of them shooting in my direction. The hanging on a Wave however, there's nothing to report. You just destroy all of them and then nothing happens.
