During the last campaign when the bug first appeared I had good results by loading my latest saved games twice (see explanation below) when I first started a gaming session to get around the bugged tonnage bar. Worked right through from Monsun Groupe to end of campaign (Final Years).

(More detailed explanation: At the start of each session I would load second to last save game, wait until it loaded fully, and then load the latest save which loaded much faster. I assume somewhere during the first load that data that was lost because of the entire game loading at the same time as the save, but as we see the OSI.exe probably didn't have time to be accessed = no tonnage bar.)
Thanks Katze - this is very interesting and something to look at with the save games

Ya Sober - if not other better fix comes along, this could be the way forward.
I wonder what will happen with your save game size etc. (altho ending patrol within campaign reduces save game size)

Ships, equipment, ports everything I can think of can be set by date (all within one campaign). Each time you end patrol and start a new one - game updates most

Tried MaMa's OSI.exe fix first but it did not work on OS7.
Used Vecko's fix to move from Total Germany to Happy Times no problems very good instructions.

Only done it once but on June 6th, a little late, it triggered HT.

Hi Coldcall

Thanks for the feedback

I have been looking at your save games and every ship you sank was recorded correctly by date. Your tonnage record (for promotion points etc) are also correct.
It will be good to compare this to Peter save when he ends his patrol

When your campaign ended (at sea) it was triggered by date. The date was a few days late - this is odd and gives me hope that for some we can factor this in so all campaigns end by date.

Not sure whether worth mentioning but just before the end of campaign screen came up, and it teleported me back to base, Uplay popped stating I had completed Coastal waters. So the transfer was driven by Uplay, or so it seems.

So having reinstalled TWOS I raced through Total Germany again. This time HT campaign came up right away on June 2nd as I was leaving port on final TG patrol. It´s as if now I have reached HT once, the game recognises it very quickly in subsequent campaigns.
