Can't see or select 2nd misson (Coastal Waters)

[Madcowz]

Hi,

I'm playing the DVD version of SH5 with TWOS and the following mods:

Harbours Chimney Smoke
Map Contact Colors
Neutrals illuminated
Remove Plastic Cover
SM Interior Food

And have been on my first mission starting at Hamel and finishing at Kiel, it was the Baltic one where I had to miss as many Polish ships as possible which I was quite good at.

I'm now at Keil and have spoken to the nonchalant captain leaning against the wall and have been give the Eastern British Coastal mission but I can't see a mission to click on and can only see and select the Baltic Operations in the list top left.

Also, when I exit to main menu and restart my campaing the sub sinks in the pen and honestly, I was nowhere near it when it happened.

I've searched this forum, searched on Google and RTFM but to no avail.

Thanks and sorry if this has been asked a million times before. I have searched, a lot.

Hi M
I take it that you did the bunker manual game save in Memel before starting your mission?

Most likely reason you cannot see the mission is because you docked to early.

The easiest way to get around this is to delete the end of patrol save which will put you at sea again.
your saved games are in C:\Documents\data\cfg\SaveGames.

Look for the time and the date of your last game and delete it.
Start your game and When you Load Game from the menu the last game save Autosave_Enter_Base should now have been deleted.
When the game loads check your map date and time. Change the time from Nautical, to GMT so it matches your stopwatch time.
You cannot dock until you see the new mission appear on your map.
You might find this useful, as you can see EBCW starts on 4th September at 00.00

Hi Peter,

thanks for taking the time to respond. Appreciated.

I did save in the bunker before starting the Campaign but it also made my sub sink.

Cough, I wasn't sure about this. My primary objective was completed in that I sunk 1 ship so I went home crying. I did get the message that the port had been updated to Keil so thought that I had completed the mission and could go home and dry off.

I might just start again from scratch but this time practice on one of the tuts prior to sailing. I was just too keen to get out and sink some merchants.

Do we know what the issue is with my sub sinking when I save the campaing within the bunker? Before I save it is ok, then when i save and load I see it sinking in the pen.

Thanks,

Hedley

Hi M
My primary objective was completed in that I sunk 1 ship That actuallly also happened to me.
One of the escorts was sunk by aircraft and a merchant was South East of the X mark and I sank this and my objective was completed. Never had that happen before and I have played this mission many times before.
