Go online with the ubi launcher settings . Click on Sync with your harddrive option . Start the game and the game will sync your local saves to the cloud when you exit the game . When starting the game next time choose play offline .

This seems to work alot of the time this happens. Its quite annoying. Sometimes simply exiting out of game and then relaunching everything will have it start filling the bar. Other times NOPE. Then switching between off and online often fixes it up. Failing that back to port and pick the mission again with a restart.

What is strange is that you just can not seem to pin it down what will cause it and just what will clear it up. One thing is for sure....its vary annoying.

I have started saving right as I make contact. If it fails to register (assuming I am where I am suppose to be) then reloads and make the attack again and see. It is really crazy making. Sometimes everything is fine for quite some time. And then BAM! UGH. Thanks UBI launcher. No clue what is doing this, but I blame you!


oh and look what made me make my 1st post here.

Or second even.... HMMM ya.

I followed sobers advice with the online and off line and deleted the cache.

Sank 2 merchants coming out of Danzig Bay.

Captains Log showed 1939-09-01 on everything there.

Completed the mission according to the Captains Log but tonnage bar empty.

Same issue here, I am running the Steam version and saw a lot of people were having issues with it when using mods, played about 30 hrs with Mods enabled, completed Scapa flow (showing completed) and went on to sink thousands of tonnes of cargo on the eastern coast, no progress.
Then I get a radio message that some other U-Boat has just Sunk the battleship that I sunk previously in Scapa! Dec 1st come along and eastern coastal is incomplete.

I uninstall and try to run the (gasp) unmodded version, Eastern coastal waters I find a lovely tanker convoy with a Destroyer Escort, take out the single destroyer straight off the bat then proceed to wipe out the 6 takers in the area.

At roughly 7000 tonnes each I came out with a merchant tally of 43,000 give or take. Absolutely no movement in the progress bar!

I did however notice that after taking out the destroyer I got the completed tick and my patrol area disappeared. could this be the problem?

Really want to sort out the issues and am going to try TDW's method of patching the Steam version so I can Mod, but if the Vanilla version is also not counting my tonnage then what is the point?

I think the patrol area icon disappears when you sink something near it.

The icon is there to show you where you should find your first target.

My dvd installation no longer allows me to logon to Uplay with the Game Launcher and comes up with a windows error message.

I have to uninstall the Game Launcher and go to Ubicrap to get another one that works.

All now re-installed and going to give it another go.
