What panic levels do you have in your funding regions?  Is it possible that too many regions are hitting 100+ panic causing you to lose the campaign? My understanding is that if you lose two or more regions to 100+ panic, then you lose the campaign.

 

When I lost a campaign in this way in 6.26 -- 6.29 (forget which version exactly), the game abruptly booted me back to the menu without displaying any "game over" screen.  If that's what is going on in your campaign, and it isn't some other issue, I see there is a relevant fix mentioned in the recent milestone 6 v6.30 experimental branch build that may cause the "game over" screen to appear correctly.

 

If you don't have 100 panic in two or more funding regions, and it looks like something else is going on and causing the issue, you can help the devs investigate this if you load your most recent save and then hit F11 in game to export a bug report zip, and then drag and drop that bug report zip file into this thread.

As fusion waffle has kindly pointed out above, there's currently a bug in the game wherein losing (due to panic reaching 100 in 2+ regions) will immediately bring you back to the main menu instead of showing the game over screen first. We've released a 6.30 update recently which solves this issue, can you try updating to the latest version? Thanks!

( another data point:  out of curiosity, I loaded an old save of an abandoned campaign where I experienced a similar symptom to the one reported by rarek.  I confirm that for my campaign, the experimental branch resolves this issue and I successfully see the game over screen when the clock ticks over past midnight at the end of day 240 -- given a campaign state where one region surrendered on day 210 and another 3 regions have 100+ panic.  Nice fix! ). 

 

Another hint that this may also be happening in rarek's campaign is that it happens at the end of day 240 -- that aligns with the end of the 8th 30 day funding period when the game loss condition is evaluated.

Yeah, that is my suspicion as well, thanks for the input!

Yes. I have had Panic level 123 at each earth region, excluding Africa where i had a Xenonauts HQ. I t looks like that i lost campaign but with no any message. I stardet a game from save 119 game day and i played in different way with success.  Thank you for your answer.
