This should shed some light on your dilemma...

EDIT:
Anyone else who plays stock SH5 (forgive them God for their ignorance ) or with Open Horizons v2.5 only ( and without No Stupid Tonnage Bar/Free style campaign addon) will have to use Mama's solution every time the game is started (annoying, but nothing we can do about it).
However, these players will still experience a whole range of different issues with their objective activation and campaign progress as a consequence of certain game limitations.

I read this too, maybe I should be more precise What is meant by campaign transfer? Stopping the current campaign and starting a fresh new one? If so, it would mean that as long as I continue the same campaign no 'mission complete' problems would occur?

Unlike previous SH games, SH5 campaign is composed of several campaigns ( Coastal Waters, Happy Times, Western Approaches ect ect) and in order to pass from one to the next one, you will have to reach certain date and then campaign transfer message should pop-up.

In game it will look like this...

This clears things up for me. So, when I reach the end of a campaign, I'll have to carry out the steps as instructed.
Thanks Vecko!

Exactly...
Or, if from some reason Mama's solution wont work (reported by few win 10 users) , you can also use this workaround...http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=222403

Tks,

11 patrols, Dec 1940, 235.000 tons and...NOT ONE CTD!

Hi,sorry for bad english. I have WOS 1.02 with german patch installed and makes all like the instructions for the osi fix,evry time i start game. But for me the Tonnage bar doesnt work corectly,sometimes i sunk a ship it stands in the log but date is 0000000 then it doesnt Count sometimes its Count and then stands a date there like 2039-466-89.in Moment i was at northern patrol,i attack small convoy 1 destroyer and 1 tanker. first sunk the destroyer it Counts half min later sunk the tanker doesnt Count.the destroyes have date sunk like above and the tanker 000000.?????
and i never see what to do in Mission,like how many tons or that ships i must sunk is that normal?and on northern patrol i mean all must Count warship and merchants.....
