cannot select a mission

[gregskip]

hey, first post here.

i have been trying to enjoy this game but so far it has been just a dive in a sea of frustration.

Steam version.

The vanilla edition was just crashing so often in was unplayable.

I installed Wolves of Steel (that was a project on its own!) and after some more hours of work I even got the TAI to show.

Game still crashes often, takes forever to load but I am trying to live with it.

Just finished the first mission, got to Kiel, speak with Mr. Nazi to get a mission and... I have no way to select it.

In the Vanilla edition I was able to click on the mission and request it.

Now the mission "coastal waters" shows on top left but no way to request. The Mission icon by the UK that was there in the vanilla edition does not show.

Wanted to take a screen shot but PrtScr does not work even though F1 tells me it should.

This game requires more time and patience than my work does.
