1 Spectra Vest? 4 NVGs? 6 ExEars? For 24 Elites? Shouldnt Elite guys at least wear Kevlar Vests? They are clearly underequipped...

Most likely a map problem - bad soldier settings or equipment. Have to wait for Hawkeye to review soldiers at map.
Option SOLDIERS_ALWAYS_WEAR_ANY_ARMOR is enabled in VR, so any enemy should have at least some helmet/vest/pants.

@all
Try to engage a merc during the game and you will see!

RUNTIME ERROR or not?

I don't understand what "engage a merc during the game" means, sorry.
Can you explain how to reproduce the bug?

@Xafloz were you in my mentioned sectors and the enemys were armorless?

Btw, How can I activate Cheats? It seems to be deactivated. Would make a new game and test this on my own but i wouldve to play hours to get there again...

As for NVG numbers, the game decides randomly when to give NVG to soldier unless the soldier is manually given equipment by map maker.

Hi all there..

************************************

D. This one is a pain in the .. - Cobra!
more than 80% of the time when saying something in a battle, there is CTD. Checked all the logs - nothing suspicious...

in N6 there is the last enemy which cannot be found. Tried two times already, I mean I killed all fellas, but one was there nowhere to find so I leave the sector and come back later to fight again after the sector was reinforced..., but not going fight for the third time... Without a code it is impossible to finish the fight in the sector at least in my playthrought.

Has anyone else encountered crashes when Cobra speaks in battle?

Not sure if this is a recent 1.13 bug or something from VR (please let me know) but it appears as though the S&W M&P15R cannot accept any attachments even though it clearly has a rail system. https://img42.com/xk3k7

Using 1.13.7609 build 16.12.27.

@Hawkeye,

thank you for your answer.
Sorry, I don't like to make trouble for you.
But I don't understand your problem. I have explained in English and German the bug.
I would like to test, not only to play the game.
I explained the bug (yes: the bug): If I set READ_PROFILE_DATA_FROM_XML = FALSE, the game don't crash.
But I must play only with the mercs from vanilli like GUS etc.
If I set READ_PROFILE_DATA_FROM_XML = TRUE, I cannot assign other mercs beside the mercs from the very beginning.

With my setting in Ja2-Options.ini "TRUE"
I can play with all mercs up to 32 from the beginning and then dismiss one merc if I would assign p.e. Joye and so on.

I hope now it's clear.

The latest version removed option of attaching rod&spring to ( and a few more I guess...):

[...]

Hi, ich stelle fest, dass die, die mir helfen wollen, Deutsch "können". Deshalb hier ausnahmsweise in Deutsch.
Danke erst mal für die Antworten.

Den von mir geschilderten Bug gibt es bei allen Versionen von VR, mindestens mit "7609". Mein System: Win 8.1.
Ich beginne das Spiel mit einer Party.
Und schon auf dem Weg nach Drassen, also innerhalb einer ganz kurzen Zeitspanne seit Beginn des Spieles,
passiert der Bug:
Ich will einen (zu mehr komme ich gar nicht) zusätzlichen Söldner engagieren.
Dann: Egal, ob eine Woche oder zwei, egal ob mit oder ohne Ausrüstung, alles von mir probiert:
Der Söldner sagt zu und noch im Bildschirm von AIM oder MERC erscheint RUNTIME ERROR.

@Hawkeye,

Ich komme gar nicht dazu, dem Söldner einen Marschbefehl zu geben.

Ich hoffe, es wird jetzt klar, was passiert.
Ich habe VR entweder mit der "Full" installiert oder mit Ja2+"7609" (einschl. Patch)+VR. Egal. Ja2 = Ja2Gold_engl.

Ich teste VR seit Beginn, aber leider immer nur mit der Party zu Beginn, ohne Söldner von AIM oder MERC unterwegs dazu zunehmen.
Deshalb weiß ich von dem Bug erst jetzt.

@all,

my error? No German helper?

I explain: The RUNTIME ERROR happens during the hole game, not only on the way to Drassen!!!

I made a new Installation:

1. Ja2_1.02 (TopWare Interactive with the white eagle after starting the game) + "7609". This game shows no RUNTIME ERROR.

2. + VR: This game shows the RUNTIME-ERROR, great excepition: Boss!!!!! I may engage him!

Edit: Explanation in red "Attempting to QuickCreateButton with out of range ImageID -1."

Hopefully Scheinworld can discuss with you, Fan. At the moment I'm not experiencing such an issue, but it's also hard to understand some of your messages. You mentioned the game did not crash before when using Ja2_options.ini: READ_PROFILE_DATA_FROM_XML = TRUE (Henning etc. are now mercs.) so why not play with that function?

As suspected with a quick inspection of N15, no enemies have detailed placement, so no strict developer defined equipment load-outs have been defined, only some (mainly Elites) have priority placement which then uses data from elsewhere for their equipment, most elites have GOOD to GREAT Equipment and Attributes, so maybe that data is out of date, not very good or something is broken. I can of course kit-out enemies individually with detailed placement but it may pay to look how the game engine is defining enemy equipment elsewhere for the rest of the game globally.

The assertion in the button system was fixed some time ago in the 8187 development build. I'm not sure if it was fixed in Sevenfm's experimental exe as well.

r8187 fix: Button Image (WM_AUTOFIRE) was not unloaded

Can you elaborate on what exactly you were doing before the freeze? Were you threatening him? trying to recruit him?

Something's busted there, that character should be Dick not a Daryl. Looks like some vanilla character data has crept back in.

I'd be rechecking your installation if no one else has noticed Dick being called Daryl, my game seems to be not having this issue.

A bug?

The fight is over but the sector isn't won:

There are one or more lifeless torsos lieing on the ground.
I have to "kill" them with my fist.

Edit: G 7: Another sector with two "dead" torsos!
