I figured it out.  The game was ending because I was going too far into debt.  I'm not sure what the actual number is but when I sold a bunch of stuff to get enough so I was less than 2 million in dept after the monthly report the game didn't end.  You'd think they'd tell you the number though.

Thanks for the reply.

Oddly my score at the end of the month was 8709 and my rating was excellent.  In fact I don't think I've ever had a negative score and certainly never two in a row.  The only thing is I'm always over two million in debt which causes a warning, but that's easily taken care of by bagging a UFO or two.  Anyway I guess I'll try taking out one of the alien bases and see if that makes any difference.

Hi all.

I'm playing a game of vanilla TFTD, and for some reason the game just ends at the monthly report for September 2040.  Is there a time limit I don't know about? 
The odd thing is I'm doing very well, never lost a funding country, destroyed the two alien artifact sites that appeared, never lost a tactical or terror mission, etc.  I have Mag Ion armor, Psi disruptors and was researching the first new sub based on alien tech but at the monthly review it just says I failed to stop the alien invasion and it's game over.  There are two alien bases that I left as the supply ships that land at them give me a steady supply of zrbite/aqua plastics, if I destroy those before the end of the month will the game continue?  Or can anyone tell me why it's just suddenly game over?

Thanks.

Thanks for the info. 

I tried temporarily disabling Windows Security real time scanning/threat protection, but the problem persists which is really odd as I've never seen anything like this.  I mean I've seen where after an .exe file has been successfully downloaded your computer will warn you when you run it and tell you to make sure it's from a trusted source, but in this case I can't even complete the download.  It just gets part way then stops which makes no sense considering I've download many .exe files previously as every program installed on my system started as an .exe file which I was able to download without any problems using FireFox.  And even if  the Openxcom_git_master_2022_06_07_2003.exe file is being mis-identified as a threat wouldn't disabling real time protection get around that? 
Or is there something besides Windows Security (which is my only anti-virus/security program) that could be stopping the download?

Having said all that if you have any ideas or suggestions I'd gladly give them a try, and thanks for your time Meridian.

I don't think so as I've downloaded files from other places (including .exe files) without any problems so I don't know why my antivirus would stop one download on one specific site.  Can I ask how large the file is?  I get the first 4386KB, then for some reason it kills the download.  If it helps I'm running Windows 10, Firefox and Windows security.

Hi.

Just installed Vanilla versions of X-Com UFO Defense and Terror from the Deep from GOG.  Wanted to try OpenXcom but when I try to download the openxcom_git_master_2022_06_07_2003.exe file it gets to 4.something megs, then it just says "failed" and when I check the download file in Firefox it shows up as an incomplete "PART" file.  I also tried downloading it using Microsoft Edge but that didn't work either, but I am able to download the openxcom_git_master_2022_06_07_2003.zip file.

Please advise.
Thanks.
