Outro cinematic scenarios not working
Slides are not showing when you win a campaign scenario?
Campaign Cinematic / Story Slideshow Doesn't Play if "Return to Map" is selected
Campaign Cutscenes aren't showing when you finish the scenario

Just reproduced this in last Wallace scenario with “I R WINNER” :slightly_frowning_face:

#3

Same for me! Though after finishing Dracula 3 the outro did show for me. Perhaps the issue doesn’t happen when you load a saved game, or when you press Leave Map after being victorious?

#4

The bug occurs if after the victory screen, you return to the map, and then exit the mission.

I can confirm this. I too can’t see the mission outro slideshow if before quitting, that is when the “you are victorious” with the 2 buttons shows up, I choose “return to map” instead of “leave map”. In the case I selected “leave map” right away I am able to see the slideshow

After beating a campaign scenario if I select “return to map” to view the map on the victory screen, the cinematic does not then play when I select “quit” after viewing the map.

  1. Beat a campaign scenario
  2. Click “return to map”
  3. Exit map

See video here for an example. While this video was made using cheat codes, I promise you this happens every time I play properly.

Did someone notice/experienced this? I won both 4th scenario of malay and portuguese campain, yet so no slide shown. Have anyone experienced the same?

#11

I have the same issues since the latest updates. No outro slideshows ever play.

#12

I have the same issue. If however, I press leave map on the victory screen I do get to see the cutscene. But after pressing return to map, I do not get it anymore.

#13

Thank you all for the reports and for working out that the ‘Return to Map’ button may be a part of the problem. I’ve written this up for investigation by the team, who will look into restoring those cutscenes if they can narrow down a cause.

I’ll let you know if we need any additional information; keep me updated if you discover anything new in the meantime! :+1:

When you finish a level of campaign (Tariq as exmaple) stangely the cutscene doesn’t reproduce and just shows to you the game results and then back to the campaign map, kinda annoying

Here’s how to reproduce the issue:

  1. Open the game
  2. Play a Campaign level and finish it
  3. Then the custscene doesn’t reproduce

I also had this issue but if you click leave map instead of return to map and the cutscene will play. Haven’t had a cutscene not show doing this.

#17

Unfortunately this is still an issue. I started first Wallace scenario, used “I R WINNER” for instant win, chose to remain on map, quit game and did not see the ending cutscene.

You mean hotfix? because won’t be acceptable to wait again one more month like the Malay age up bug.

#20

Same here with Gengis 3. Seems like there is a general problem with watching maps supressing triggers. I r winner without map watching delivered the outro.

#21

Was this bug fixed? It’s happening now with the Lords of the West campaigns. After finishing a campaign mission, it skips to the statistics most of the time. If I save right before finishing the mission and reload, sometimes the outro plays, but other times it still skips to the statistics. If I use the “i r winner” cheat to finish the mission, it always plays the outro.
