XCOM 2
Can't sprint and EVAC my whole squad?
so I've tried this mission twice and each time one of my squad members gets left behind after I sprint all four of them into the EVAC zone.

It lets me sprint and evac everyone else but for whatever reason the rule changes on the last dude

so he's in the evac zone but can't evac? is there a roof over the head of that guy's tile but not the other guy's tiles?

Nope, the evac zone is in the middle of the street. Everyone else can sprint then evac even though they have no action points.

Also its not the same guy every time, it's always the last guy to enter the zone but he enters it the exact same way everyone else did, a full sprint from cover leaving no remaining action points.

It's a common issue we don't need to use the end turn button to end a turn, which means you can't use any commands who should been available if the turn wasn't automatically ended. Most find it first at VIP missions and defend avenger missions, while it can as well be mishaps when calling for the skyranger to forget the golden rule, never end the last soldier's turn because there is no such thing as end turn confirmation. The end turn button only exist for legacy and some may not even known there was one.

When I am in the evac zone it doesn't end the turn, because I can still evac.

but I only evac people when everyone is already in the evac zone.

It does have a few limited uses: if you have Implacable and you want to stay where you are, and if you're carrying a person and want to stay where you are.

Other than a roof tile/balcony above the a Evac tile, possibly a lamp from the street which would also block evac - was this a self made evac zone or just spawns at the start? Sometimes if you create an evac zone over a soldier, who is now standing in the zone, it won't allow evac. You have to create a zone where nobody was standing, or next to the tiles where the zone will be. Otherwise maybe some map pack mod has messed with your evac point. If you have any modded soldiers or equipment, that could also not recognise your soldier being there as it were. Strange - either keep loading the geoscape to get a different map for that mission, or lose the last dude and hope it doesn't happen again!

This was a scripted Evac. One of those "do the mission and move to this place to evac" things

Move everyone of your soldiers, and only when that is done, start evacuating them in masse
