Default unable to end patrol

ok, so i sent out on september 9th? if i remember and i went and sunk 100 tons of shipping on the west coast of britian (having to sail back to resupply once (i ran into 2 unprotected convoys packed full of tons of tons XD) sunk a good 300k tons of shipping (i got like 90k with 1 convoy, then found the second one after resupplying and sunk all of the ships XD)
then i sailed over to the eastern shipping lanes off britian and sunk the required 50k tons, soo, missions done all by october 20th, so i sailed back to keil, clicked the little "dock" icon, and... nothing...
all i get is the option to refit or postpone, when i try to click the "end patrol" option, it does nothing =/
wha am i missing?

i didn't get any type of message about it and the little homebase icon is still on keil though? =/

the only reports i've gotten were from the bdu telling me to relocate to "insert position" and continue patrol, which i recieved twice =/, and they changed that little marker with the sinking ship icon inside the western approaches a few times but that's it.

you might want to start sinking cargo east of the UK (west of the great Kingdom of The Netherlands) since that is going to be your next target. If lucky your sinkings will count for the mission what is coming. Besides, its easy deck gun hunting there around that time.

Good luck

Sounds like your game is bugged to me. I would recommend reinstalling and applying the patch again.
