Icon9 Need Help With Glitch

So I am pretty new to Silent Hunter and I've been playing SH5, which had some growing pains but is now one of my favorite games. However, I'm stuck with some weird glitch and could use some ideas for fixing it.

I'm in the Coastal Waters campaign and am trying to do the North Eastern Approach part, I think it was sinking an aircraft carrier, HMS Nelson, and some destroyers. The problem though is that instead of displaying the objectives for this, it gives me what looks like lines from the config file. Things like


[Campaign.CampObj.MacroObj 2.PersObj 1]
campaign.camp
and something about the description.

So I can't actually see what the objectives are and I don't know what to sink, or if the game would even register sinking them. Everything else including the other objectives/approaches work perfectly fine.

I have Open Horizons 2 installed but uninstalling it doesn't fix the issue. Can I copy a save file, reinstall the game, and paste it back in? Is there some other way to fix this?

Any help would be awesome!

When you request a mission from the map and click on the map reference mark in the game you will see your orders for this mission.

This mission is also known as "The Blockcade of Germany)"
The object with Open Horizons is to sink 80,000 tonnes of shipping.
If you are using the tonnage bar and campaign icons only certain ships sunk will count towards filling the bar.

If you have other mods enabled other than OH please post your mod list.

Thanks for the reply but my issue is an actual glitch as you can see in the screenshot. I did the East Coast approach just fine and am almost done with the tonnage bar for the South Western approach. My other mods are for SH3 and OH is all I have for SH5 right now.

As you can see there are 2 tonnage bars and it shows a "British Patrol area" and in the Atlantic it shows a "Carrier Patrol Area", so I'm pretty sure I have to sink a carrier and some other type of ship but as you can see something is wrong with a file somewhere

Thanks for the forum link to find objectives in the config file, I'll look there and try using that to figure it out, hopefully its just a glitch in the description and will still let me finish the mission

It's important that you publish the exact mod order that you have installed in JSGME, the order is important or mods may not work at all. The main thread of a mod should give you the necessary info about in what condition you must install it if you have other big mods.
Every time JSGME gives you a warnintg 'files are used by another mod' you are at risk and must know exactly what you do to proceed.

It's kind of cheating but I was able to go into the config file and set the objectives to complete and just skip that one, issue solved.

Thanks a million tons!
