Overwatch not removed on pre-stunned enemy

Post by HubrisBliss »

PLEASE post:
1) The version of Long War you are playing.
2) The platform you are playing on.
3) What other XCOM2 mods you are playing with.
4) The circumstances of the bug or precise steps to produce it.
5) Whether you are able to offer a savegame for us to look at.
I'll reorder the numbers, because 3 is loooong.

4) I used a flash grenade on an Advent trooper who was on overwatch. The grenade removed the overwatch and stunned the enemy.
On the trooper's next turn, he went into overwatch again, but remained stunned.
On my next turn, I threw another flash grenade to remove the overwatch, but nothing happened. I believe, because the trooper was already stunned, the grenade did not trigger another stun and thus removal of the overwatch.

I assume this is not working as intended.

5) Unfortunately, no save, but this shouldn't be hard to reproduce. Happend on gatecrasher.
1) LW2 v 1.0 (1.19.17) - First release; Legend difficulty
2) Windows 10/Steam
3) I doubt it is a mod conflict, but as requested. All are listed compatible in the DeaconIvory mod compatibility list. Keep in mind, this is my pruned list :D

I believe this is a known bug we're currently investigating - just to clarify though, do you mean you "stunned" them or "disoriented" them? Flashbangs only disorient unless you have a specific Grenadier perk.

I think I saw this one in vannilla and seems quite simple - if a disoriented enemy is hit by flashbang, he doesn't get disoriented again (so his overwatch can't be removed), only disorientation countdown gets reset. The most simple way to fix it would be to make it so dissoriented units can't enter overwatch at all.

Confirmed that this is an issue in the current version that I'm working on a fix for in the next patch.

Update : Problem found and fixed. Awaiting confirmation from testers, but it should be in next patch.
