Known Bugs

Strangely, when I exit HL2W Windows says that Alien Swarm exited incorrectly and offers a debug/shutdown options, but no crash dump is left.
Alien Swarm itself (without the mod) exits correctly.

Another couple of minor bugs:

1) If upgrade research has been ordered at Combine armory that is NOT powered from a generator (and, consequently, the research cannot proceed), the particle effect is still played.

2) The requirements of certain buildings for Combine (Requirements: Garrison, Armory etc.) should imply powered, working buildings. Currently, even a non-powered building is sufficient, this is evidently wrong.

I got the opposite error on my first run of 2.0.8 - I clearly have a couple of Garrisons (And plenty of resources) but it won't let me construct anything requiring one. This hasn't happened in subsequent games.

Is your resource/population panel always showing up there in the middle of the screen? Because it shouldn't end up there.

No, sorry, I really must say in the post when I do this - I've just moved it there in the screen short to reduce the dimensions of the image so that I can use a decent quality JPG - UI is fine all round (and new icons (not sure how new they are) are very nice). I wanted it visible so there was no doubt that it was a logical rather than graphical error (someone might have figured that it was highlighting the wrong requirement red and I had no resource/power).

Maybe it's time to fix gamelobby elements persisting on the screen in-game?

Version 2.0.9: Rebel Units run around Power Generator Instead of Attacking it.

Version 2.0.9: Rebel Units run around Power Generator Instead of Attacking it.

Did you do anything special to trigger this? Maybe an enemy unit is stuck inside the building?

I didn't do anything special and no unit of mine were stuck in the building, neither an enemy unit. To destroy the Generator i Had to build Manned Sentry.

I Found exactly the Same Bug with the Garrison in another game on hlw_forest, this time, even with the Manned Turret, my Units didn't shoot the Garrison.

Some of it seems to be caused by uneven terrain. I noticed units wouldn't attack garrisons and making the terrain smoother fixed it. But, even on flat ground like in that screenshot they don't attack power generators.

Ok, I found why this is happening. It seems the CPU player sometimes places a two buildings at exactly the same spot, which can happen due a fault in the placing code of buildings. In that case, units will try to target one of the buildings, but the tracing/line of sight testing code will fail because it detects the other building. Will fix that soon.

Fixed for the next release, was also causing units not to move away from the target building spot.

Some bugs I noticed yesterday.

Munitions depot take a long time to place after you click for whatever reason, other buildings seem to be instant. Just takes a second or so for it to be placed.
With healthbars always on, they don't disappear after the unit is killed and stay on the ground.
With toggle team colors on all the flags become green after you start a new game, but when you toggle them on and off they go back to normal.

I have a serious bug to report, when you send ground units to attack (such as combine soldiers or rebel soldiers) a synth factory, they will miss 100% of their shoots, like all of it

I have here the recreation of the bug, in screenshot form


literally 5 minutes and no shots landed

This is fixed in next update.
