P.S. I have already set up the files if anyone is willing to try...The files could be enabled anytime I think...

This update can be added when boat is in the bunker. No new career required

Are there requirements from happy Times campaign in order to unlock Mare Nostrum? I got to March 1st, actually March 22nd when sailed again and soon ended HT, but when it offered the next campaigns, mare Nostrum had a big cross in it?

I sank a huge European liner, 81k tons. Am I being penalised?

Not good...Mare Nostrum is starting on March 15th and you have passed that date.

You should load a gamesave before march 1st and use one of two OSI.exe priority tweaks in order to trigger campaign transfer correctly. If it still doesn't work then use my workaround to update your last HT bunker save with MN (or WA) files. All links are in TWoS F.A.Q. section...

okay thanks. I´ve gone back to previous save before entering Lorient on Feb 22nd and am continuing objectives. I´ll sail around til March 1st, if that doesnt work I´ll use your save game tweak.

Stock shore leave is 14 days (bunker time)
Campaign end date to next campaign start is 15 days.

When shore leave is increased (20+ days) and campaigns are designed to end by date, this is the possible result.

Extra time needs to be set between campaigns for this issue

True, but I think that wasn't the case here. He's spent the time between march 1st and 22nd on the sea actually...Campaign transfer should be initiated but it didn't...

You guys do understand that CareerTrack.upc has nothing to do with campaign transfers, tonnage objectives, tonnage bar ect...Those are all exclusively Campaign.cfg related stuff. Correct me if I'm wrong...

Hi Coldcall

Could you give us some details on how that campaign only ended on the 22nd.

I am assuming that you entered port on the 22nd.
What date did you leave port?

Yes - I am interested in the Danzig objective not being recorded as 2 kills when Peters capt log did reg the kill (with bugged dates)

When Peter ends his patrol - comparing the capt log v CampaignProgress v Campaign is what I would like to see

Neither. I just went back to a save out on patrol Feb 22nd, sailed around, and on June 2nd it ended the campaign automatically,took me to new campaign screen and Mare Nostrum was now available. Windows 8

[Coldcall]

Trevally,

Yes I had put into port Feb 22nd, but next mission date we left on March 20th. I guess that´s what stopped Mare Nostrum being available. Yes seems like very long port times.

Thanks Coldcall

So here is what I am thinking so far:-
If the 3 megamods look to update their campaign working, I think we can fix the tonnage bug by (as vecko has done) removing tonnage as objectives.
Tonnage objective are required however for making the campaign

If objective have very high tonnage requirements and/or setting tonnage objective value points to zero. This can never end a campaign. So everyones campaign will end by date whether they us the mama fix or not. This will also address the issue where the fix does not work for all.

So looking to ensure that all campaigns end correctly by date will reduce the risk the player have to fix their save game to progress.

Another check (you may know this already vecko) to to ensure that when the tonnage bug is in effect and players sink ships - their kills will count ot the promotion and renown points. (every one likes an upgraded boat or equipment

I am still thinking about the issue where a players campaign ends while they are in mid battle

[Coldcall]

Okay now I have another problem

It´s April 2nd and fhe base transfer to la Spezia has not happened. sub icon still shows Lorient as my base. I even tried going into La Spezia and I can refit, but not end patrol.

I have received the red messages re-basing to La Spezia. It was fun dodging the British at the straights of Gib.

Any ideas how I can tweak the re base to happen?

Note: Have reloaded/restarted several times to no avail.

I really dont know and now you have completely confused me...Something is screwed with your game/savegames because there should be no Lorient as player's base in MN campaign. Your MN campaign should start in Kiel on march 15th 1941 and day later you shold be transfered to La Spezzia...
