XCOM PC bug: CTD when attempting Muton Elite stun!

#1 Posted by BonOrbitz (1979 posts) - 7 months, 9 days ago

I've had the game since it's launch and haven't run into this problem until today. When I enter a space or two away from a Muton Elite in an attempt to stun it, my game crashes to the desktop. The only thread I could find about the bug is this, but there doesn't seem to be a solution. Well, short of just taking out the Muton from a distance, but that's not what I want.

Has anyone here run into the bug and know of a solution for it?

I haven't come across this problem myself, but how about mind-controlling that thing if you can? Move it around a bit and see if it crashes again after it wears off?

This seems to be a common enemy move, crashing the game, also occurred in the Blade runner RPCG. Perhaps it needs its own page. "Enemy Rage Quits"

That would be a great idea if I had psy abilities, but I'm only one step away from the first Alien Base so I'm not that far into the game. I wonder if using my Heavy's Suppression ability before my stunner bumrushes the Elite would somehow break whatever is crashing the game.
