While trying to set up a reproduction of this issue https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...me-froze-after-overheat-coolant-vent.1367599/ I hit a very serious bug that deserves it's own thread.
I got a unit hit with infernos and then selected quit game to generate an ironman save. I believe the save was generated, (I can't check until after I upload it, 'cause Ironman) but then the game background and cursor did not stop rendering - and rendered over every other window I tried to switch to. This made it impossible to use Task Manager to kill the process, even though I was able to launch task manager several ways. The windows key still worked, and ctrl-alt-del still pulled up it's fullscreen menu and I could interact with both and the task bar. Task manager (rendering in a task bar preview) seemed to indicate Battletech wasn't responding. Eventually I killed the process by logging out of my account.
The attached output log is probably from when I relaunched the game to verify the version number for this report -- might want to reorder your form so this issue doesn't happen.
Have you tried verifying your files?
Yes
Steps to reproduce the issue
I haven't reproduced it yet, but I'm including the save I believe was generated, as well as the logs. If the crash issue isn't reporducable, perhaps the other linked overheat issue is. Steps I believe will reproduce it: open that save, get a coolant vent equipped mech overheated by inferno missiles, and then jump, and then coolant vent. I'll update if I am able to reproduce it - but because this is an Ironman game I'm not able to send you the relevant save after I've reproduced the issue.
