Title: Galactic Conquest doesn't show victory screen
Post by: Hannah on April 05, 2018, 06:54:33 PM

After conquering the entire galaxy as EotH in Essence of War, no victory message shows up. The game just....continues, despite no enemies being present in the entire galaxy.

A thought I had about this: maybe there are enemies stationed in the location of the Katana fleet? I know the Ascendancy doesn't have access to the Katana fleet, so they can't get to the spot labelled "Deep Space" because it doesn't appear on the map.

In any case, I'm on the most recent full version (not 2.2 demo) and I've left it for an hour on fast forward, with no ending screen.

This is a side effect of an intentional change we had to patch in for 2.15- there used to be an issue where the game would crash on era changes because the game was trying to spawn units for a faction that no longer had territory. The simplest, most guaranteed way to fix this was to put some stuff of screen to absorb the "overflow", which unfortunately meant the game didn't finish entirely in those GC- in 2.2 since we've had more time for testing, we've done it through other story events, so it should no longer be an issue.
