It says in the OP, that if the Request Mission button is gone, the game is corrupt and has to be reinstalled.





It's January 9, I've just finished North Western approaches, and returned to base only to find that the Request mission button for the new mission is gone. I've been tampering with my mod soup while on this patrol, does that mean I messed something up? Perhaps I finished NW approaches too soon and the button for SW will appear later? Also, if it's really corrupt, why can't I just keep playing without the request mission button? I can still sink ships in the SW area and get crosses, right? I've put a lot of time into this and don't feel like starting it all over again.

I think I added Sober's latest Equipment upgrades patch and speech fixes and additions - german version mod while still out on patrol. I also made a custom mod with changes to Zones.cfg (flooding times) file, but I made sure to edit the one from OH2 to retain compatibility. I also completely removed all mods and then added them back - some in slightly different order as in sober's list. And I removed Longer repair times, which I think is obsolete because I already have Reworked Submarine Damage.

mmm... too many changes, I am afraid that your only chance of recovering your current campaign is restoring a snapshot of your previous mod list and loading an old save game, in case you kept back-up copies of both.

If not, my suggestion is to wait a few days before scrapping your current campaign. Maybe some other forum mate will have a better idea than me

Nope, that's my mission briefing map, I double checked it.

If it's corrupted, what are the actual consequences? I know I can't request mini missions which means less renown rewards, but can't I still advance the main objective (ship tonnage) and continue with the campaign?

If you are not getting any ctds then I wouldn't worry about it atm . See if the game fixes itself up when you finish the coastal waters campaign and get to the next campaign .
The main concern was ctds .

I get occasional ctds anyway. Mostly on loading a game or quitting to windows.

Anyway, I reloaded a 3 days old save with my current mod list, went to base and checked the map - the button is back! That means I will have to re-do the whole of NW approaches, but that's better than starting from 0.

Unrelated question (I didn't feel like creating a new thread just to ask): is there a error reporting system in SH5? I couldn't find any concrete info on google. I'm getting a ctd every time at ~4 minutes after damaging a Nelson Battleship in NW of Britain. I've tried repeating it with low graphics, didn't help.


Edit: Weird. I followed the ship a couple km further, attacked it at different position and now it seems to work flawlessly.

Your campaign objectives cfg files have change from when the current campaign started.
Do as Sober says and just continue without requesting missions and the campaign will fix itself when you progress to HappyTimes
