I had assumed it happened with a fresh game, of course it's different if it was a game from someone else you loaded. Paco, you may have not realized that the game lets you rename soldiers at any time. This may have been done by anyone who saved a game you loaded, if that's what you did.

I usually only append one or two or zero +'s or -'s. The first one relates to the accuracy rating (if it's specially good or bad), and the second to the psi resistance, before it's visible when I research psi. I do that because even before then I can learn who are the -'s because the psi-weakest soldier is always targeted (and gained over) by the aliens. And my strategy is to transfer the psi-weak to the Asia or America bases, and concentrate the psi-strong in Europe. When I have set this up and the aliens start using psi more and more, if any mission is against Ethereals or Sectoids I send the European squad, no matter if the mission is in Japan or Chile.

The "Total Pack" combines of both games with XComUtil. What you are seeing is an XComUtil feature called "namestats", which is not part of the normal game.

I've had an issue with this as well. Though it went away after a reinstall. There must be some workaround though.

By making sure you do not have crafts in chase of an UFO in close combat before you enter tactical mode. I think that's the only case in which the game will crash in this way.

Anyway, I think the Windows version has more bugs than the DOS one.

I'm positive this particular bug happen in every version though. It is probably the most known bug of this game.

Back to playing this game again after a year or so, my tactical skills are still up to the job. I made the mistake of a low difficulty though and simply don't get enough attacks to keep the money coming in. Very annoying, but funny at the same time. I lost because the game was too easy...

Laser cannons.

I checked ufopedia, couldn't find it there...

I know civilians died in a terror mission. However, none show up in the score screen, only the saved ones. Is it because various explosions completely obliteratet them? An exploding cyberdisc kind of set a chain reaction at a tank station that included another cyberdisc.
