No Single Mission Menu

[bonesvf103]

I cannot get the single mission menu to open. From the initial splash page, if I click on "Mission" it goes to the splash screen of the carrier and says loading, but hangs. No list of single missions appear. Only way to get out is to ctrl alt del. It was fine yesterday after beta patch. It is the Steam version; I did an integrity check and it cleaned up/replaced 7 files but the problem still happened afterwards.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks.

I also want to note that every other menu item works...instant action, campaign, multiplayer, training, etc. Just not single missions.

 

Thanks.

I can't find anything like it in the forum. It seems nobody has ever bumped on this error before.

Please try the cleanup and repair procedure.

I have the Steam edition so I can't do that cleanup and repair.

 

I did an uninstall and reinstall and the problem did not go away.

Well, since it was only the single missions I had this idea to wipe out all of the missions folders for every aircraft, including stock ones. I also wiped out all campaign training and instant action missions for good measure. Figured then I'd do an integrity check and Steam would notice stock file missing and replace them.

 

The validate reinstalled 980 files.

 

I started it up and it worked again and all of the stock missions were back. SO I'm back up and running, I just have to add on any downloaded missions I had which is not a big deal to me

 

Took a while but at least I'm running again! On top of that all of my preferences and keybindings are still there.

 

Maybe a mission file got corrupt and since I wiped them out...it's OK now.

 

Thanks!
