Agent rescue mission

[Gretschory]

So I just got the dreaded "Rescue stranded agents" mission. A chosen appeared, I defeated it and now I literally stepped to every point in the circle but the freaking vip won't activate. I restarted the map several times. Nothing helped. Any suggestions?

Have you tried to verify your files? Sometimes a bad file will lead to bugs like this. Or it may be a mod issue if you have any.

Yeah got some mods but mostly cosmetic things expect the weapons of the resistance mod. Are there any particular mods that are known to cause something like this ?
I will try the verifying of the game Dara .

Trying throwing a grenade to hit the cover around it or to take out the floor. I actually just had a destroy the transmitter mission and couldn't target it. after chucking a grenade I finally could. The same solution might knock the vip loose.

Try moving everyone OUT of the circle, save in this state, restart the game and try again.

One of the mods I use, Nice Mission Briefing, sometimes wil create glitches where things can't be interacted with (hacks, etc) or effects not expiring (like burning or acid trails). Its not clear why this mod would generate these kinds of glitches, but the mod author has noted noted it may have something to do with how the mod interacts with persistent states in the game. If you are using this mod, it might be related.

Good news is that this kind of glitch can usually be fixed if you save and reload, sometimes save, verify files, then reload. I would try Tamiore suggestion to.

Thanks for the suggestions, I will keep them in mind for the next time. I reloaded a Geo Save and got a different mission that actually worked.

For a $40 expansion WotC still has a lot of nasty bugs. And I'm not referring to the Chryssalids.

mission has a weird reveal script, they stuck in. like if you walk past a certain point in the map the aliens will reveal you.

didn't felt like a bug, felt like a poorly thought out script.

this is a minor bug. Take two steps back take two steps forward.

nothing to act like a nasty troll about.

I'm quite familar with this one. Move a ranger with phantom or a reaper with your squad on the other side of the map, whole squad gets revealed except the unit you just moved.

Okay guys, I think you are missing the point. It has nothing to do with "revealing" my units. It is a recue a VIP and a downed soldier type of mission. Problem is: The VIP will not trogger and is not movable. No pronlem with revealing
