You mean the Red Tide/Blitzkrieg Mode?

Don't change the game settings. If you want to play it, it should be on the Victory Point setting.

I played a game like that, the objective was to "Defend the base" but with no timer or no in-game prompt...

So after spamming tank hunters I pushed the enemy panthers back, then started making lots of tanks and destroyed the enemy...completely. Their base, their MGs, I had every point secured, but the game wouldn't end. I had to quit :(

And the game with timer is not shown up.

Did you make a clean install of EF?

What other mods do you have installed?

Make sure you have the newest patch.

If that doesn't work, uninstall and re-install EF.

If THAT doesn't work, then you're still changing the game mode from "Victory Point" to "Annihilate" or "Annihilate-No PopCap". Don't change the game mode :D

Blackbishop, do you think you guys can take away those options so people don't mess it up? When you change it to annihilate sometimes it will mess the game up like Yaseimi said.

I didn't know that:

1) Choosing Annihilate-No PopCap game.
2) Playing that game.
3) Choosing Annihilate/VP game.
4) Game won't finish

happened or sometimes Annihilate w/no popcap games will never end.

Let's wait for Rizz or Cope to read this ;D!! They can give a more accurate answer... anyway I'll write this as possible bug.

I would say it's a bug...

Sometimes when I play the challenge in Annihilate or Annihilate-No PopCap it doesn't give a time, and thus you are stuck in a lose-lose situation. You can either submit the enemy's spam or you can fight for your life, destroy the enemy's base, and be stuck in a never ending game until you quit.

Though when I leave the settings normal (Victory Point), this doesn't happen.
