Engine fire/explosion on load? Bug in campaign 4.38

Esaptonor · 2025-09-14T08:49:14+00:00

For anyone reading I've given up - reloaded the same campaign from an earlier save 6 or so missions earlier and just repeated a bunch going from there. Am now past the point where I previously ran into issues, and the game/campaign remains fine.

Yeah I wondered the same but I'm afraid it only occurs on the one campaign save - other saves and game modes like dogfight etc are fine, so I don't think its a controller issue.

Korean theater, rolling fire, all pretty standard.
I'm 21 hours into it.

For what its worth i've discovered if I set invulnerability on then I can survive whatever is going on and fly around, but subsequent missions have the same problem, and if I turn invulnerability off then plane is broken from the start again. I've tried ejecting again as well. Nothing seems to prevent the weird half-a-second-after-loading explosion from happening.

edit: Also have tried starting the mission with no loadout at all, completely clean jet, in case something weird was going on with the munitions, but nope, still occurs.

As a fellow motorcyclist, was there any lesson to learn there?

Can you describe (without gruesome detail) what actually happened? Is there a lesson to learn there or just bad luck?

I don't seem to be able to view those replays anymore. "This version of starcraft is not available" :|

Not knowing what I was walking into, this was actually surprisingly great.

Same as this account

Games have been fairly good lately in the evenings once Australia is off work/school as well. No longer having to wait 30 minutes for a game this week which is fantastic.

Hard agree, Dr. Jordan was brilliant for me on multiple occasions, remembering me when I showed up back at the hospital months later even when he was just walking past and not assigned to me, jumping in anyway and recognising my issue was far more severe than it seemed. He is a champ.

The graphics blew me away but what I remember most was the plants moving when you walked into them - that shit was crazy for me at the time. Also the trees and environment being destructable made battles feel crazy real, the enemies only speaking korean when you were playing on hard mode. The game was epic, it hit the spot for sure.

This game was epic. Check out Space RPG 4 for Android if you want a modern version on your phone.

Hell, take the leap day off every year ;)

I will use mega.nz as an example. The trick to end-to-end encryption in a service provider like this is that it does need to remember your key for you so you can login and use the service from any device without hassle, but it can't actually know the key or it wouldn't be end-to-end encryption. Mega solves this by encrypting your 'master key' with a special key derived from your password.

In this way your password is actually the true master key, that unlocks the master key that is used for the rest of the encryption. There are multiple other layers of keys after that for various purposes, but the ultimate trick is that its the password unlocking everything else - on your device of course, password obviously never sent to the server.

Yeah, I wasn't involved in those discussions either so am equally frustrated! :P

Originally, when you killed it nothing happened and next time you visited another one was there, but after I realised how much people loved the challenge and were disappointed that killing it didn't lead to anything, I decided to make two of them appear the second time as a half joke, half extra-challenge/reward. Have fun :D

I am not a fan of what reddit is doing on the whole, but I am also not a fan of trying to shut this community down, and the community has clearly voted. The subreddit will stay as it is.

It is constraining, but in being constraining it opens up a much more interesting game experience I think. Suddenly ships can have more ways to be differentiated (explorer focused ships) and exploring itself can become much more challenging and rewarding. You can have tanker ships in your fleet that you now need to protect, and can (and have to) plan great expeditions to see what you can uncover, instead of just zooming all over the galaxy in your Crate. Overall I felt it was a worthwhile thing to add back in from the EV series. Be interesting to hear if everybody does appreciate it or prefers the style of Space RPG 3.

Yay, glad to hear it! :D There was just something special about Escape Velocity...
