Default Erroneous campaign progress in Memel

Hello everyone!

I reinstalled SH5 with the TWoS mod to get back to it.

I wanted to start a new campaign from scratch, and I have a rather annoying problem: impossible to have a correct campaign progress check.

Each time, I have "First Deployment" and "Campaign Transfer Orders" indicated as accomplished.

This is the first time this happens to me. In my previous games, I always managed to find my way back by trying a clean backup.
Even in the Memel database it's blocking.

Am I doing my first patrol with it and I hope for an improvement later on at the base in Kiel?

Did I understand correctly that you cannot continue the campaign?


Check out the games directory.
Go to the folder "The Wolves of Steel - Documentation".

There you'll find a Pdf document called:
"The_Wolves_of_Steel_2_2_Quick Start Manual and Gameplay Tips".


Right in the beginning there's an paragraph "How can I pass from one campaign chapter to the next one?"
There you'll find a description what to do, if the campaign won't progress.



I hope that helps?

It's not even a question of continuing. I'm starting a new campaign.

I'm going to see in the file if there is a solution.

The_Wolves_of_Steel (TWoS) F.A.Q.'s and Gameplay Tips it says this By all means, yes...The whole concept of sink xxx tons to unlock next objective/campaign is abandoned. All objectives are now date controlled ...For more info check OHII addon"No Stupid Tonnage Bar_ Free Style Campaign" readme documentation...

I still do my SH5 careers the old way with TWoS, I sink the required tonnage for the mission, edit the campaign cfg files so my mission is accomplished and I head back to base. I can't change it since I played the stock game that way for 2 years!

There is really no reason to do that with TWoS. You are aware that by doing so you will lose ability to select secondary missions from your flotilla commander in the bunker?

Sounds to me like something got left behind when you uninstalled. We have to make sure we delete absolutely everything or what you described in the quote I snipped from your message, happens.
The files in the Documents folders (File Explorer) are likely the culprit here, is my guess.

I made a zip of the vanilla version of the game after the install completed before I did anything at all to it. I think that'll help if/when I ever want to start fresh as you've tried to do.
