Extract VIP fail

[mumia]

When I took the spark unit on an extract VIP mission. After I completed the mission with the vip alive and well, the game even showed the captured screen where the vip is shown tied. Then the next screen said the vip was killed and I didn't get any of the associated rewards.

This is just great, especially since I'm on ironman and can't go back to finish the mission again.

Saw on another thread that the Evac ALL mod can cause such a behavior.
Do you have that (or any other) mod installed?

[mumia]

I have absolutely no mods installed.

Let's just say the guy above me is incorrect and it's not mods, have you seen anything else that might suggest towards this being a bug or a corrupted save?

I quit the game immediately after that out of rage. The only strange thing up to that point was that one of the advent officers on the mission was able to shoot trough a wall, and was targetable trough the same wall.

It happened to me when I pulled soldier carrying VIP last. Guess she snapped his neck by accident. After reloading and sending her ahead of another soldier, extraction went as supposed.

No mods. And I too had SPARK on that mission.

I extracted the carrier last too, for no particular reason that's just the order the game showed the soldiers on the last turn, so that might be related.

My best advice is to quit for a month and then come back, and you will have a fresh new feeling. And also bugs will be fixed.

I just came back to play the game after a month.

Presequel:
Xcom2: The game where walls are made up and line of sight doesn't matter
Sequel:
Xcom2: The game where VIP's randomly dies and complete the mission objective doesn't matter.

Damnn thread is from July and I am having the same issue. fml. So I had to get an ADVENT VIP out and ♥♥♥♥, but once I get her to the extraction area and rope all my guys out, one of them carrying her of course, a message plays at the mission success screen saying "We have lost the package." She appears at the debrief menu as well but immediately following that, the council report says that "we cannot gain intel from a corpse." Maybe some day in the next 500 years we will see a fix for this.

There are much more recent threads about this, no need to dig up a two-year-old one.
