Hey,
my issue: way too often during missions the model of one of my solders freaks out and only the legs are visible for a scant few moment, which cause the game to crawl to a halt (0 FPS for about 5 to 10 seconds) as soon as i unpause it.

Not sure how to fully explain it...

1. Order a random dude to do something
2. Dude randomly bugs out, his model is only half there (the legs)
3. Game is fine as long as its still paused.
4. The second i unpause it it completely stops as if it was sudenly in a infinite loop of sorts (i can still move the mouse around)
5. I press space again and after a couple seconds its back in pause mode, having advanced the game a second or so. (Everyone moved a teeny bit)
6. I repeat this two or three times and suddenly the model is back to normal, causing the game to progress as usual
7. This can happen multiples times per mission and in a row or not at all. Completely random as far as i can tell.

So... is this a known issue? As far as i can tell the graphic settings have no influence on this (Everything is set to max).

Other than that the game runs fine.

System: Win7, no compatibility modes tested yet.

Edit: further testing shows that this is related to the crouching pose. When they get up to run somewhere the stuff mentioned above happens. Once they're fully standing everything is back to normal.

I can confirm this behavior, though I thought it was because I was running under Wine. You can usually save the game after the bug hits, then quit, restart and load without any issues.

Resurrecting a three year old post is probably against some forum guideline somewhere, but I wanted to say that I too am encountering this problem and has anyone ever found a fix for it in the last three years?
