Fixed 400 turn time limit. Be cautious! Update: FIX FOUND

[Tomba]

The game ends after 400 turns. There is no option to disable this. Nothing in the game EVER tells you that the game will only last 400 turns. There is even no option to continue playing after "losing" due to the turn limit. I just lost the game with only 5 turns remaining from finishing the Contact Victory. There is no warning of the fact that you will be unable to win the game so they just let you waste a few hours playing a game you have 0% chance of winning. That is absolutely horrible. Whoever thought that was a good idea is a horrible human being that probably never played a Civ game. Epic long games are one of the coolest things in these games.

UPDATE: this problem has been confirmed by a significant number of players below. Other people have been able to play beyond 400 turns with the default setup. So the fact that the game ends after 400 turns seems to be a bug some people experience.

Sasha has found a solution to allow you to turn Time Victory off while setting up a new game:
http://steamcommunity.com/app/65980/discussions/0/619569341137914262/#p7
Edit the CivBEVictories.xml file in Steam\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization Beyond Earth\assets\Gameplay\XML\GameInfo and change the Permanent value in the Time Victory row from True to False

Besides that, I still think the game should at least inform you of the fact you have a limited amount of turns, and warn you when you're getting close to that limit so you can act accordingly.

What the hell? 400 even on the slowest setting?

Dude, calm down. Just like a "gamer" to create internet drama out of nothing. They are not going to "charge us to play the game properly". If people want no turn limits, someone will make a mod to remove turn limits. It's stupid that modders would have to do the work for them, but really, it's not the end of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ world. That's why Firaxis made this game with mod support, and why there is a Steam workshop.

The option to disable this is in the advanced setup. It gives you a checkable box to tick if you want the game to end when the last turn is reached. Uncheck it, I did, no problems.

I won a game well after 400 turns on standard speed, didn't experience this...

Just gone in game to confirm and my last auto save was on turn 440 and I made it till the beacon activated at turn 449

400 turns might end the game under a fast paced game, but can be disabled at the start of the game in advanced settings.

Ok.... S here is a screenshot of the advanced setup:

And this is a screenshot of turn 400:

No option to turn on unlimited turns, no option to continue, game finishes as exactly 400 turns even when I was the furthest along any of the victory paths.

Please tell me what I'm not seeing?

Yes, I did NOT check that option when starting my game. I know I take games like this very slowly, so I'd never check an option like that.

You probaly want more than 1000 turns

[FullAutoAttack]

I thought the manual said it ends on turn 500.

The option in the advanced set up is just to change the turn limit not turn it off.

In civ 5 there is an option under victory conditions to turn off the limit that is not available in BE.

I do. Unfortunately it doesn't go beyond 999.

For the non-believers, I started a new game without checking the box, and it still shows a Time Victory condition :

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, game ends at turn 500 if you dont get ambushed by no warning victories from enemies.

[Ezekiel "r4iled" Hauge]

Yeah... "Bla bla has won" ... ok then. Without knowing why or how.

[Ezekiel "r4iled" Hauge]

The game is great but I wont play before they add some more infographics and better warnings, because that was just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awful.
