GalCiv v2.02 campaign Apocalypse game won't end

from GalCiv2 Forums

Just bought the full Galactic Civilizations II: Ultimate Bundle Pack. And had been enjoying the Dread Lords campaign until "Apocalypse" where after I beat the Dread Lords as requested by the mission, the game won't end. My victory ratio is at 100%, but there is no victory end of the game, and I can't continue on the campaign.

I also defeated the Dregnin and Yor (only other 2 empires outside my alliance), and still the game won't end.

Is this a v2.02 bug, and am I doing something wrong?

I have the exact same issue. Defeated the Dread Lords and have 100% victory, but the game won't end. I defeated the Drengin and Yor as well, with the same result.

Same here, destroying Dread Lords, Drengin, and the Yor does not result in a victory.  It's worth noting however, that 100% victory appears from the very beginning of the mission, so it's most likely a setup issue.  This happens when playing within the TotA chapter, with TotA rules.

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to play the campaign again from the Dread Lords chapter.

I experienced this as well. I decided to investigate further in cheat mode, and the chapter only ended if I killed off EVERYONE, teammates included.

Yes this is annoying bug, all you guys have to do is conquer all "players" even your allies. However you cant attack em, just build 2 maxed influence starbases next to each of their planets and spam few turns, planets will start fallin under your control soon enough :-) I just stuck on last mission which I'm really pissed of

Same issue. Read somewhere else that the end condition race to kill is a race not even in the map... Patch please!!!!

You can fix it with the scenario editor:

Just click on the "Editors" button on the Twilight launch menu, then select "File" and "open."

You need to find the install directory for GalCiv2. On my install, it's:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock Games\GalCiv2

I suspect the install directory will probably be for most people:

C:\Program Files\Stardock\GalCiv2 or C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\GalCiv2

You can also right click Twilight of the Arnor in Impulse\My Games and select "Open installation folder."

Note: It is not the GalCiv subdirectory under My Documents\My Games.

Once you locate the GalCiv2 directory, you need to go into:

Twilight\Data\English\Campaigns\DreadLords

Open Apocalypse.gc2scenario

Select the "Win/Lose Events" tab

Select "Defeat the Dread Lords"

Click "Edit"

The "Race Elimination" button should already be selected, but it will say "If Krynn are eliminated, then victory"

Switch the first dropdown menu so that instead of "Krynn" it says "Dread Lords".

Thank you for your help. I was able to follow your instructions fairly easily even though I rarely use the editors that come with my games.

Trouble is, I loaded a saved game from one turn before I eliminated the Dreadlords and repeated the final battle. No love. Still didn't win. I assume the win condition was set for my scenario when I started 9 days ago and in order to use the new settings I need to start over. I probably won't do that, to much time involved.

I guess I'll try the conquer all with influence that someone else suggested.

Thanks again.
