No surprise. The inability to progress in campaign is part of UBI's DRM copy-protection crap. The tonnage bar bug is caused by a process involved in this copy protection which is not being correctly loaded in memory.
Early no-DRM patches didn't take OSI.exe into account (once, when someone reported his campaign achievements not being recorded, you could be sure he had a cracked copy of the game), but the most recent no-DRM executables provide a perfect bypass to UBI's copy protection, thus fixing the tonnage bar bug for both, "cheaters" and legitimate game owners.

What's paradoxic, is that Ubisoft managed turning its complicated anti-piracy system into something which actualy encourages the circulation of a pirate versions of their software.
