It seems like there's no item progression in Bobby's gun sortiment. Same guns as the first day and I'm now in day 44 atleast.

It seems that I can't recruit all the miners in the different towns. I couldn't recruit either Matt or Calvin, but it says that there's already a headminer when I try to put others to the task. I've tried with mercs with really good leadership and wisdom to try and recruit them but nothing.

I would love to read any kind of hint and tricks for the game, don't really mind any spoilers. If anyone want to help me out!

I've captured four towns and two SAM-sites. Progression shows 54/53(?). Is there anything to do to unlock more weapons in the game? I play on "drop every item" setting also and so far I only encounter FN FALs and I'm getting a bit bored of those

I know it might ruin economical and weapon balance, but I'm a gun freak and useless (and a bit lazy) when it comes to the economics

I'm the same ;P I worry about not having enough ammo or not having good enough guns to use.

So what you're saying is FN Fals and such should be the norm and you can't ever get any better stuff from Bobby Ray's? What if I turned BR's quality up?

Also been super super addicted to this game. Haven't run into any more bugs otherwise you'd see them posted here already ;) I think its more stable that most other mods!

For some reason my mercs can't train other mercs in drassen mine, they also never get tired while assigned to tasks, it's some sort of hidden facility feature there?

I encountered Skyrider bug
Is there a way to fix it without restarting the game?

Nope, you just have to restart or go to an old save. Sorry man.

I got an old save just before meet Skyrider it's ok? or before start the quest?

It wasn't working even with a previous savegame
i got rid of the problem escorting him to Drassen airport and unescort him right in front of the helicopter
immediatly after, talking with him again triggered his dialog and he acted normally like always used to be....well except he joined my team without even asking him =)

I'm not sure if I give you and updated items xml if this will fix things with your current save, a coder will be able to advise.

Items.xml should be "updateable" without starting new game or something like that, it is not one of those things that are read once and then kept in the savegame or whatever, so changing it should work at any point

The only problem is that it should be in a different xml, Merges.xml so all in all, it's probably best to wait for a complete new version rather than throwsing around dozens of different xml files piecemeal

That sure sounds interesting could we possibly get a updated items.xml file where we could try this? It would be pretty easy to just copy a backup if it doesnt work? Don't want to sound to eager, it's just that I not really in a mood to start over again at this point

is it possible for someone to check if it's any "easier" task to fix? If it's possible for a donkey like me to do the changes myself if someone tells me how?

Also with VR having more than a few extra features, we also needed a few extra keyboard shortcuts, listed below:

- Ctrl+D - skip interrupts for this merc only (original interrupt system)
- Ctrl+Alt+D - skip interrupts for player team (original interrupt system)
- use [u] key to manually unjam gun*

Among other attachment problems, the .50 beowulf rifle cannot be transformed into the C-MAG version with its proper adatper.
The C-MAG version has no attachments defined, by the way.

- In F10, the direct approach with Dick ends badly, as the dialogue get stuck in place and it's impossible to exit it.

Another strange behavior, sometime there are weapons drops with 0% maximum durability but their status is around 70-99% so they are usable they just can't be repaired when they get damaged.

I don't know if this is a feature or not, but when a merc wear a backpack all enemies will see him much further like he get a camo penalty, if this is a feature it should atleast be stated in the advances properties page of the backpack.

; Dual welding the longest sniper rifles with full attachements, having a third backup sniper rifle, 
; one combat pack and one backpack will give a 50% (default) sight penalty with the default settings.
COVER_SYSTEM_LBE_EFFECTIVENESS = 50
