Hmmm. I don't think it has anything to do with being Russian. There are good and bad game developers in every country. But, I have to agree that taking the money and leaving customers who otherwise would love the game is a really bad practice. Sure, any company can pull this stunt - but only once. So, I hope 1C will not make any more deals with them - and hold back part of the income to fix at least the major bugs themselves...

BTW: I still did not buy the game for exactly the reasons you and other users are giving. When I hear that the game has been brought to shape and fun to play, I will. Until then, I bite the bullet and wait.

Oh man I had a hell of a time with it - I ended up using a full 6 mercs (my 3 main well equipped guys and 3 disposable ones). basically keep your best ones about where you start, use the other 3 to rush them and spam all around the truck and just to the left of it with as many nades as they can before they get mowed down. best of luck m8.

Hey I really appreciate that info! My biggest issue with the game at present is the under barrel weapons - how the heck do you load them?! Also with a fully automatic weapon with a decent size clip the most I can do in combat is about a 50rnd burst (not in combat, like a town, I can do about 25) and ANY more than that and the game crashes to desktop no matter what. Any suggestions for these two issues would be amazing!

problem with not being able to leave from "The Gold" mission
 

I'm on the mission for the rebels called "The Gold" where the objective is to take the city Ciudad de Oro. I've killed every hostile there but the leave button does not appear and the game still thinks I'm in combat. When I try to leave thru the exit points, I get a crash to desktop.

Can anyone help me thru this? I doubt I have the energy to start over again.

Have you turned on "Last Enemy" in the game difficulty settings, the last enemy will then start walking across the map, easy to spot.
If it's enabled already, try speed up time, "+" button, and wait to see if a question mark appears somewhere. Go there and finish the job.

wow thanks! that worked. turned out I had 2 more hostiles to kill and I was able to find them with your method. Thanks again... I was so frustrated

problem with mission "Tha Backstab"
 

In "The Backstab" mission you are to escort arms dealer Willi Krauf's convoy from Puerto Viejo to Cali-Cantinos. Half way, the convoy stops because theres a bomb in the truck and Willi asks you to disarm it and some bad guys appear.

I've killed all the hostiles and now Willi is asking me to disarm the mine. I assume he means the hidden bomb in the truck. Every single time I attempt to disarm the bomb in the truck I get a crash to desktop.

One of the bad guys had a remote truck bomb detonator on him and I suspect its a key to sucessfully completing this mission, but I've tried everything I can think of to finish this but theres no way to get around disarming the truckbomb that causes the crash to desktop.

Please help

I've played that mission not long ago and had no such problems. I've played it millions of times on the Russian version, so I got a routine. This is what I did:

Run to Krauff and talk to him.

Disarm the bomb using the color code from quest item, before the enemies appear

Kill the enemies

Talk to Krauff

Talk to driver

Pick up loot

Talk to Krauff and you'll automatically leave the sector.

If this doesnt work for you, I can't help you. The CTD has to do with something else. What does your log file say?

EDIT: I forgot to let you all know that there is a new hotfix to my mod:

The B.F.X. Mod Hotfix 3

And the next version will be released on Friday, if you're interested. More fixes will be included.

Nice, thanks.
I assume the newer versions include all previous fixes, right?

Yeppers, and some new ones. Are working on Gunner atm, but I can't promise anything about him yet. Well, it's actually my "partner in crime" that is working on him. I only test it;)

I'll keep y'all updated and post a link on Friday.
