Instant Mission Failure, possibly cheat related.

[FireStorm]

Ok, since I dont remember the level structure, ill describe as best as i can (which is pretty bad as it is)...

Anyway, the mission is where you are to destroy the Nexus base with the nukes, i finish that one, save, start evacuating my units to the mountain region, destroy everything up their opposition wize, mission completed, save.

Nuke goes off apparently (wasnt any real video sequence for that /cry), get the gamma distress mission briefing, once its done it loads me back to the map where i had just left my units in that valley, BUT the whole map is black (which i expected because of the EMP created by the nuke, however why put me back on that map anyway?), says power transferred then a few seconds later i get mission failed, then the nexus endgame about me being a better gatherer then new paradigm and that the gamma units where delicious (in so many words)... blah blah blah that it... hit continue then all options disappear??? (when i reload the save the same thing happens and i can click quit to main menu but what purpose does that ultimately accomplish?

Anyway more details: XP Pro SP3, WZ2100_v2.3b7 (am downloading to try with b8 as we speak), cheats that where enabled going into this mission: cheat on (of course), biffer baker, whale fin (make no mistake i have cheated through about half of these missions because i dont always have time to do them and i cant find out how to increase the game speed, so i have used: get off my land, and 1 time deity then turned it right back off -made me lag)

save game file/folder is attached so maybe someone can take a look at it... the only other savegame i have is... a WHILE back... i knew i should have been alternating those save files... crapola, if you need anything else to take a look at this please let me know!

While biffer baker and whale fin are fine, get off my land and time toggle are unstable and probably what caused your problem. Try again without those cheats.

the thing is for this specific mission, im pretty sure i didnt use time toggle or get off my land...

OK!!!, i figured out this INSTANT MISSION FAILURE!!!

For ANYONE interested!!!, it has to do with the evacuation mission, 2 whole missions before where im having the issue (so its NOT i repeat NOT cheat related!!!), when you evac your units i had 30 total units, so 3 transport loads, however upon the start of the next mission, you ONLY get your VERY FIRST transport of units (needs to be fixed or something needs to be changed so that you HAVE to call in more then 10 units or HAVE TO leave some behind, otherwise like i experienced an endless LOSER loop) , the others are available VIA the 5min reinforcements, however if you dont use them like i didn't (the first time) and instead just rely on your first group (as i did) it will lead to this epic failure looping!!!

So when you come to the mission after Nexus nukes Beta base you MUST call for reinforcements and its probably essential to have trucks (when i first started it, i had only trucks because i evacuated them by group units... which screwed me until i turned on biffer biker, because the first units i evaced where the trucks) otherwise if you have all units leave the area you will instantly fail the nexus base mission (where he absorbs gamma team)...



anyway... im terrible at explaining things however if anyone needs more details or needs me to (try) explain something in more detail then i will!
