If this is not the case, double check your Basic.cfg file. GW uses the stock SH3 promotion model which requires higher renown for promotions. Perhaps the original settings are now back in the game?

BTW, the RUb promotion model is the most realistic to go with: you get your ranks more timely but your medals not as easy.

well, I'll check the file once more, but I have changed it to reflect RuB values and saved it before mission. My renown is 2240 after the first mission and I got promoted but then after reloading, it suddenly disappeared.
