Missions not ending

[Zxb]

Anyone else had an issue with a mission not finishing even those you've destroyed all enemy units and done any other objectives? Happened a few times now, both on RA and TD, usually on the larger missions. I've repeatedly checked the map to make absolutely sure that there's no lone enemy soldier hiding somewhere but can't see see any. Not the end of the world, just annoying grr lol

It's often a civilian structure. At least 2 Nod missions have this element in them.
Did you destroy all the civilians structures too?

[Zxb]

Yes, I've made sure that all civilian buildings and people were destroyed. Plus a couple of times it happened on one of the penultimate RA Soviet mission where there aren't even any civilian buildings

Are you playing with any mods? Asking just in case.

When playing against Allies in RA1, it's often a camouflaged pillbox btw.
Might be hard to see it, especially in WInter maps.
I remember I couldn't find the last structure a couple of times, and found these camouflaged bastards only when my infantry that I sent to all map corners started dying. :)

[Zxb]

Yes, DontcryJustdies veterancy mod, probably been active during the all instance (I use it way too much lol). I'll try getting rid of all the mods and see if it's fine, bout time I played the game properly again anyway :D

Used to have that pillbox issue, been playing the game for so long I can remember where they all are now :)

Thanks

In most cases saves made with mods won't work with unmodded game, and vica versa.

Btw if you like playing with mods, you can check out my
TD New Features Mod
RA New Features Mod

They also have veterancy with unique bonuses and many other features like different balance, directional armor, capturable churches/oil dericks, trainable visceroids, EMP tanks, and many other things.
Just in case you're interested. :)

Oh that sounds cool, I'll take a look :)

Very often in TD if there are turrets on cliffs (if you're fighting Nod) then single soldiers may remain behind that are trapped there, and sometimes those aren't visible because of a tree.

If a mission is not ending, I always do the following:
-reread the mission briefing and see what I haven't done
-build a radar if possible, get the minimap working and look for enemy colors there
-check the trees for hiding infantry or camo pillbox
-get a fast vehicle and drive around, enemy stealth tanks and submarines automatically reveal themselves to attack if your unit is near. I believe destroying naval units are not win conditions for most Red Alert missions.
-sell any captured enemy building
-check along the shorelines and cliff edges. AI units sometimes get stuck there trying to move around.

you miss out on one thing.

1) get a mammoth tank or heavy tank and drive around to check for Camo Pillbox. (this is for red alert Soviet Campaign).

I have this issue right now in Soviet mission Austria: Besieged

Super annoying mission where a guy blows up your buildings at set intervals. I wiped the map. No mission accomplished.

based on the map here

https://cnc.fandom.com/wiki/Besieged?file=RA1_SCU32EA_Map.png

at the far north west of the map, the Allied base there got 2 Camo pillbox.

at the far top north east through the Bridge, there are 2 camo pillbox as well.

here is a guide for your mission.

Yes, I've have checked all that sort of thing and no joy, the radar should have detected anything apart from a camoflaged pillbox anyway and it didn't. I've been using Zerobytes new Mod for the last 2 or 3 days and the problem has not re-occurred, so I think the Mod I was using was somehow occasionally creating ghost units or something. Thanks all :)

Nod Mission 13c is bugged for me.

I've destroyed all GDI & Civilian structures and units
Scouted the whole map
Built the temple of course
I even destroyed all the walls
The mission still refuses to end

It's particularly frustrating for me since this is one, of only two missions I have left to beat on hard for "The Best Around" Achievement. Big sad

[zerobyte666]

Isn't it the mission where you need to also destroy all civilian structures?
Maybe you missed one..? Or an infantry unit behind the tree?
I never had a situation where mission didn't end unless I missed something.
