Return of Iconians: win gives no movie

from GalCiv2 Forums
I just won Return of the Iconians game type, conquering whole galaxy.
But I got no end game movie.


P.S.
Maybe this happens with other non-standard game modes.
For example in campaign, I never seen movie when DL wake up (I've see it only externaly with RadTools).

Loaded the endgame, pressed enter won the game (no movie), exit the game.

Note this is Return of the Iconians, not normal conquest end game (which has no problem with end video).

I've brought up this error in another thread. Actually, I've brought up bugs in so many of my threads that Stardock people do not acknowledge. I think I'm wasting my time pointing out these errors.

If you win a CONQUEST victory in regular mode, and not metaverse mode, you don't get the ending movie.

PS: STARDOCK, can you please go through my forum messages and pick up the dozens of bugs I've reported?

I see the conquest victory fine, just nothing in Scenarios. I assumed you weren't supposed to.

Wrong. I see it a lot. This is a bug at your end, not in the game, possibly because a multimedia file hasn't downloaded properly.

You know that when you make a post, you have to instantly bump it. I suggest you take all the unsolved issues you have, and put them in a new post, then bump it so Stardock can see.
