Can't pick up unconscious soldiers? (Bug?)

[AbhorrentRegent]

First issue I've had so far with the game, but it's been a bit annoying. Happened twice now that I've sent my Ranger forward, she killed some things, whatever. Next turn one of the shock troopers runs up, knocks her unconscious. I go and kill the shock trooper, bring a buddy up to carry her, but I'm not getting the prompt.

When I mouse over the body I get the blue box next to her like it's telling me where to go to pick her up, but not able to. She still speaks too (like if fire happens), but is definitely captured when I evac the mission. Both times were on VIP rescue, could that do it? I've carried troops before in other missions, not sure what's happening here. First time there was destructable terrain bits around, but not the second.

I wish I'd have the KO problem as opposed to "Stun lancer just gutted somebody outright" problem.

[AbhorrentRegent]

Hah, only had that once. That would almost be preferable, at least I could try to ressurrect them then. Here I can just helplessly watch them lay there and get captured as my squad decides their backs hurt and don't want to carry the Ranger.

Just had that happen too. Very frustrating. He was a specialist so he's clearly not dead since his drone is still floating, but no option to carry.

I also just had this happen to me, my Ranger went up on a roof, got shocked and knocked unconscious ( I feel like getting tazed once and getting put out for the rest of the game is some baby back bull), but nonetheless I sent a team member up to pick her up and bring her to the evac zone but I was having the same problem of not being able to pick her up, so aparently not getting picked up in evac on a fully cleared map = captured by aliens. This has been my first load back so far.. Not losing Icepick Kelly to my first sad xcom2 bug :(

[Kryo]

definitely a bug. I have a troop with 3 HP that has no obstacles around her that NO TROOP can pick up. and yes, she is lost when I complete the mission.

I just ran into this one too.

Must be a bug because I've picked up a lot of unconscious soldiers fine so it generally works.

[MrBananaGrabber]

I've had it happen as well. I assumed they had just died (they may as well have).

Funny enough I had this happen to me on that exact same mission although noticing the skull jack prompt this happened to me much later in the game 0.o I'm betting that this is bugged for certain types of missions

Rip my fully speced grenedair who was apparently too heavy for 7 of my other soldiers to lug back on to my landed ship.... They didn't even have to go up a rope... just a ramp... RIP

Welp, at least it's a bug and not just me going insane. Those two times from the OP were the last time I had the bug happen to me, but that's about when shock troopers got phased out for more killy things so I was unconscious far less.

Both missions were VIP extraction, the type where you need to find the VIP and extract them, not where you start with him/her. Weird that yours was about as far from that as you can get.

I just had this. Did the first story mission "black site" or whatever and I got ambushed while carrying another soldier, carrier died and I could not pick up that soldier, BUT I did save & exit and reload, and that person was located few tiles next to that spot and I managed to pick up the soldier.

Same here, on Ironman, one of my best Ranger and I can't load back... =/

He's got 2 damage taken only, I can heal him.. he is marked as "THERE" and i just can't pick up him... no matter what side I try.

same here, full health, 3 damage stun, almost done with mission but got overwhelmed after i finished the mission objective, was going to force evac, but I can't pick her up.

How can you ironman this game with a bug this bad? Stunlancer op.

[Algernon]

Ughhh I'm having the same issue, my best sniper is KO'd and nobody will grab her. It's also on the Avenger defense mission... making me wonder if this is some weird glitch that happens a lot on this map. I also don't have any autosaves from before she was knocked out... so I will have to restart the whole mission if I want her back. Naturally, I thought I absolutely kicked the crap out of this mission (playing on hardmode this 2nd time through) and was actually pulling all my troops back to the ship until this chick got punk'd by a stun lancer.

[Cryten]

I am curious, did the soldier drop from 1 space to anouther? did you try and go to the square it was standing on instead of the one it fell on?

Just thinking of bugs Ive seen in other games that this could relate to.
