Game lockup 'alien activity'

[Ferrets_finds]

My game locks up, typically after overwatch fire and stays stuck on 'alien activity. Cannot select anything scroll around screen etc but music still playing fine. Any help?

Same bug. I get it whenever I mind control a unit, which ends my turn. A cyberdisc moves in position in a scripted movement, then it hangs in Alien Activity.

Have you tried waiting a few moments? I get some pauses during reaction fire but the game doesn't lock up. At least not for me.

Same here. I even restarted the mission from mission control, so i get different map, still getting suck at some point.

It's full lockup xdragon, I left it for half an hour once to see if it would sort itself out. It's been a bit better lately, maybe its been patched? Had it once today though.

Not had this yet, fingers crossed. Only bugs so far are laggy berserkers, steam overlay causing an app failure and the old, last enemy hides in the fog then immediately teleports right behind ya, bug.

Has anybody tried hitting keys and/or buttons? Whenever Alien Activity seems frozen I click a couple times and hit spacebar. It clears up every time.

I found out that there is one group of aliens on the map not taking their turn. If you can find and kill them before it freezes it will stop happening.

If you have not discovered them yet, you can go to an alien spawn point you know of and reload until the spawn there. Every time you reload the unactivated aliens respawn in random positions.

I've had it once with a panicked muton elite. He was the last on the map.

I was having this same issue constantly, I did a file verification check on Xcom and it turns out there was a file which was not validating properly... Once it was redownloaded, the issue was resolved...

I have had it a few times, basically the alien isn't finishing it's turn and you have to restart the game.

How far into the game does this happen? I've been playing over 30 hours without any freezing at all. The only thing I notice is that when the bezerker Muton starts moving after each time you shoot him, as he lurches toward each squad member taking a shot at him, the action is a little jerky.

You don't have to restart, you just have to kill the alien that isn't taking its turn. It happened to me on ironman and I was able to get past it.
