When exactly I'll be rebased to Lorient?

I have 1940-07-06, France is blue, but I'm still starting from Wilhelmshaven.

How do I change that ?

Victory points are irrelevant...

The easiest way to trigger campaign transfer is to use Mama's Osi.exe tweak and to load gamesave just before midnight 05/31/39.
This workaround is 2nd alternative and it has to work...

You have probably made same mistake like Palmic did...

Upload your last CW bunker save if you can't work your way trough...

EDIT:
Sry...05/31/40

[vdr1981]

No Sober...Campaign transfer should be triggered exactly on midnight between 31/05/40 and 01/06/40. I guess your screens are made sometimes after that date, right?
Do you still have any gamesaves from before 31/05/39?

If you dont want to use Osi.exe tweak, then you have to "enhance" your last bunkers save with 4 files described in the first post.

This is your last CW bunker save...04-04-2016. Patrol #7. 6/1/1940

Excellent...Just start SH5, alt/tab the game and set your OSI.exe priority to real time, load that gamesave and wait for midnight...Camp. transfer should be initiated correctly...

Windows 10?

Try sjizzle's suggestion...
If not, workaround from this thread HAS to work...

I think the campaign change works using post#1 but I am stuck because of the game ending because of not enough victory points .

Once again , victory points are irrelevant because of No tonnage bar addon.
So, will you upload your last CW bunker save already or you're planning to quit campaign because of simple 4 files replacement?

[THE_MASK]

I finally worked it out .
Happy Times

But, as always, the solution was right there in the first post...

In order to track down your gamesaves better, you should sort your gamesave folders by date modified and especially pay attention to time of gamesave creation because this is the best indicator which will help you to match your silly named gamesave folders to those shown in ingame save/load menu.

Oyoy ,

I, like many others, had the tonnage bar glitch and a failed campaign transfer. I followed the guide to the letter, pasted the files (3 in my case) into the proper directory, popped into the game and nothing. Tried 3 more times, nothing. I observed that the Coastal Waters campaign repeated itself, along with the mission selection glitch (which doesn't start if you normally start Coastal Waters). Almost as if the campaign starts over again... So I overwrote the files once more but kept them open to see how they'll change.
And I got results. Whenever I overwrite the files, by a force of nature, black magic or at the behest of the Old Gods, the NameId of the campaign, which at the start was Happytimes40, reverts back to TotalGermany39. Weird.

I do have OH II installed along with some other mods, i'll try the procedure without those on and get back with my findings. Shame such a wonderful game is plagued by such game-breaking bugs.
