Some more play test feedback:

- Can't attach a rag to a bottle of alcohol, not sure if this is mod specific or an oversight.

- The game becomes somewhat unplayable with 64 enemies in the sector. Once the enemies are swarming, when I tell my soldier to run, I can see every single frame of the animation. This is too slow to be do-able. In the past this was slow, but not as bad. Not sure what changed. I tried to reduce MAX_NUMBER_ENEMIES_IN_TACTICAL but then the game won't load my save games. I am afraid this is probably the end of my playtesting, and I really liked playing again.

The slowdown might be related to the issue with Flugente's scope mode code. Think it is already taken care off.

The rag - bottle of alcohol merge needs another step in between. Wink

Also note, that AIMNAS related questions should probably go into the AIMNAS thread. Wink

Dieter is this all happening with the 5398 exe?!
Could you double check the version that is shown on startup? :/

edit: another idea is to test if the same happens with the 5393 exe from depri, see if the same happens with that one, download link is in his signature.

Yo Tais, It shows 5398 on startup, just checked it. I count ~77 cammo shirts in the sector inventory after GABBI Alt+O so I assume I am at the MAX_NUMBER_ENEMIES_IN_TACTICAL of 64. This is Drassen mine sector. The enemies saw Razor slash someone and now they are running around like ants on crack. I am in tactical in real time (at night) and I am watching Razor run for the sector edge - frame by frame. I had him "run" for about five minutes real time and Razor made it almost half way across the map. It is pretty clear that I won't be able to clear the sector like this. I tried to reduce MAX_NUMBER_ENEMIES_IN_TACTICAL, but the game won't load saves where the number is not matching, which is a separate issue (and should be fixed too).

Thanks for looking into this Tais! By the way, a little up I posted a Save with 5 enemies not moving for 30+ rounds even though a fight is going on around them. I have seen this old bug before but never had a good Save. It feels like some enemies can go into a frozen state after being injured. They won't move, not even turn, even though guns are fired right next to them. Pretty interesting stuff actually and this can happen to bloodcats as well.
