Ugh. Not only now can't I finish the level, everytime I click on any sort of tesla unit, or after about 10 minutes once loading the mission from my most recent saves I get an IE.

So yeah, I simply cannot finish the mission, because everytime I get out a map wide force of units it kills me with an IE. This is about as far as I get before it starts IEing, so if anyone could take this save and tell me where the last damned epsilon forces are, I would be extremley grateful. Because I've polished off all the other campaigns easily on Hard ... and now it's only IE's standing in my way. -.-;

I got some serious problems.
When I play mission 4 and further I dont get any credits to play with and It's really impossible to win without money what's happening? Am I supposed to find a crate somewhere or steal cash from the enemy because I can't build a goddamn refinery to proceed neither build more forces.

I restarted the mission and it ended as per normal. No idea why, I guess it was a bug stopping me from finishing on the first playthrough.

None of the Soviet missions are particularly hard bar 7, even on hard mode. Good micromanagment of your forces on 7 so you can get all the money crates, capture a building in the south-east base and slap down the barracks to capture the whole lot is all you have to do really. 2-3 battle bunkers and a telsa coil (and more if necessary) at each chokepoint, capture the war factory + service depot to replace the MCV you'll probably lose to starflares at the top, and make sure you have aa defenses protecting the south-east plateau nuclear reactor. The crates disappearing bug is a real bitch, because you have to do this all in one playthrough and should a terror drone infect the Centurion you're in trouble.

I suggest capturing the reactor with a emperor tank until your defenses are strong enough to stop starflares completely and keeping an enemy tesla reactor in the base as well (4 flak cannons at the nuclear reactor, four just below the war factory, four below the service depot). That way, if the starflares are going to destroy the tesla reactor you can just capture the reactor = instantly saving your Nuclear Reactor as the starflares stop firing.

My problem is now that I've 'won' mission 8 (well, I've destroyed all of yuri's forces and the mental omega after he rushed me), but the mission doesn't end + my objectives don't change after I destroy the omega device itself.

according to our determinedly dopey Prime Minister Mr Brown, Obama also has a beach in Normandy named after him. If that can't win you an election, what can?

yes, definitely mine) but they behave themselves very.. agressive
when i'm already with my MCV, mastermind etc. on the shore, they always try to attack Yuri's base
very unusual

and - why i think this mission is going to be my nightmare... it seems to be very difficult

anyway - please, give some advice about this mission)

yeah
about missions

epsilon mission 8
firstly - do not attack soviets untill you are ready, and you won't be attacked at all (at least on easy level)
build your base; when building radar and powerplants, build them far from your war factory. do not mindhaze war factory. but it will be useful (for future) to mindhaze radar and at least one powerplant.
built lots of UFO's and, if want, one repair disc. in fact you won't need any other units.
yeah, and to the right there is an oil derrick, it will be useful to capture it.
when finished building base, sell the conyard - you won't need it, but you'll get one technician (white man looking like Einstein)
order him to go left from your base and you will find abandoned Kirov, capture it. it's much better decision than using psi-adept, because if you loose adept, you loose Kirov, and in my way Kirov is forever mine.
then sell everything exept warfactory, powerplant and radar. move land units away from radar.
then attack.
having 10-15 UFO's will be enough i think.
move them to the upper left corner, if meeting Apocalypse - better destroy firstly.
in that corner there are soviet powerplants. power off them by UFO's, then start destroying everything you can.
Soviets will send you a little nuclear gift (it will destroy war factory) and all their troops will run to your base. do not worry)
when finished destroying everything and everyone with UFO's, invite Kirov to join you.

And - I was defending the radar with powerplant because it is very difficult and uncomfortable to navigate without it.

epsilon mission 9
scan the sea
destroy 2 Yuri's naval yards
guard your squid, you will need him
scan the right shore (squids can detect shadows) - there are some shadow tanks
whet get reinforsements - send empty Hover Transports to explore the territory. soonly they will be destroyed)
destroy everything you can by Krakens. then explore again (you can use magnetrons) and destroy once more))
when you'll have clear shore without units, barracs, Railgun Tower etc., build your base.
as usual - you won't need any infantry.
when built UFO's, power off Yuri's base (there are lots of his powerplants nearby)
you'll need one or two Hovers (i put there masterminds) and at least one squid; move them to the right corner, far away from shores.
when you have enough UFOs, just go and destroy the MO device. before it you can sell everything (that's sad watching somebody destroying your base). Yuri will send everything to attack you and will sell everything (his buildings etc.)
when destroyes everything you can see with UFOs, take squid and scan again, then get masterminds - to look for shadow tanks, guard mastermind with UFOs.

Have trouble in Soviet till 5 to end.
Soviet 5: i get HUUUGEE disc rushes... Ok i know that the siege choppers are the way but my money dissapears VERY quickly even when i don't train y anything. Bug? Coz i cant see any discs on my refineries. I could train a maximum of 11 choppers before money went down. 3 miners and money going not above 0.

Soviet 6: Dunno... No money anywhere... Played only once tho..

Soviet 7: Ok i cap epsilon war factory and service depot with emperors. With centurion, apocalypses and rhinos i go and destroy all power reactors i can find. But still there is power for the dominator. What should i do? Destroy Dominator or go hunt more power plants (suicide?)?

Soviet 8: Fixed. Now can "build" bases but still can't finish it damn hard.

Epsilon 2: I capture the 2 cloning vats, but i can't destroy the base on the hill (with the nuclear reactor and at back with the war factory and industrial plant). My Yuri's have all died and i can't pass the tesla towers (destroyed all reactors on the island with rocked, ONLY nuclear reactor remains which are out of my krakens range). Restart and try to protect my Yuri's?

EDIT: from now on i get internal error in first soviet mission when 1st transmission comes. This ALWAYS happens now =/

2nd Edit: Found out when first transmission comes, both the 1st missions of soviets and epsilon give internal error... s**t....

3rd edit: I found out that they are NOT internal errors. The game crashes. What may cause this? The transmissions are a bit strange tho ALL the right bar is covered in rectangle and the transmission covers it as a whole. Help plz
