estriquinina Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 So I'm playing v1.06 on Normal mode. I've already researched 'operation endgame' and MAG weaponry, but my armor and aircraft research seems to be rather far behind - still using Buzzard Jumpsuits and Corsairs... Anyways, I don't want to start the last mission yet, as I saw on an online wiki that there is still lots of goodies to discover, but it seems the game is somewhat forcing me to do so. My earliest safe is on May 25, 1980 and I've lost one region (Indochina) so far. Forecast indicates a change of around -$200k. However, regardless of what I do, this what happens on the 31st: Followed by game over... Is this a bug of some sort? How can I lose the game having lost only one region? Is there anything I can do besides restarting the game or starting the last mission? Thanks in advance for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StellarRat Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I think you lost. A couple other regions probably pulled out at month end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViniJones Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) I cant read shit on the img, but I doubt its more regions leaving, they all paid "something" except one. The background is a lose screen, maybe the aliens had enough time to succeed at whatever it is they were doing,... shoulda winged the dreadnaught with the buzzard armors. Seriously, do it... and take pictures. EDIT: Actually dont take pictures, do a video in this resolution.

estriquinina Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 I've uploaded the screenshots to imageshack: https://imageshack.com/i/iqU8NFqrp https://imageshack.com/i/p42uRfjRp Hopefully someone can make some sense out of this EDIT: StellarRat, I'm not losing other regions, I simply get the game-over screen for no apparent reason.

Msvknight Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Is it possibly because you ran out of funds? because i looked and you run out of dough at the end of the month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabill Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 It's debt. IIRC correctly, you lose if you have two consecutive months starting with less than $0. At the end of the month, your funding drops to ~1.9m but your upkeep is ~2.6m so you're losing $700,000. Given how little cash you have, that's throwing you into massive negative numbers. Guess its time to do the final mission! EDIT: ninja'd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViniJones Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Is it possibly because you ran out of funds? Could be it, youd need more than 700k in bank to make it through that month. A lot can happen in 5 days, could sell stuff and raid the crashsites. EDIT: Dam! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
