Not able to continue campaign

[technic]

In the Reflected Simulation´s campaign "Blue Nosed Bastards of Bodney" I have flown  Mission1 and Mission2 succesfuly (both 100), but I am no able to continue with Mission3. The campaign offer me only to "Play again" Mission2. Why is not possible to continue?

Please see attached screenshot

What happens when you click OK? What mission loads then?

[technic]

If I click IK, Mission2 loads again...

Nevertheless there should be one with Active state and Skip button, so it's a bug. Can you share you saved games/dcs/logs/dcs.log ?

The actual problem first happened May 12th. The only log i have found in Log file of my DCS Open Beta, is the log with date change 19.03.2023, which is, I am afraid, of no help. Nevertheless I attached this file.

The log shows a lot of mods installed, so unless you cleaned up your DCS since then, there is very high chance of one of them messing up with your DCS behavior.

Also it looks very strange, like you have whole DCS installed in Saved Games/DCS folder?

After contacting Reflected Simulation I have deleted all Mods and run DCS repair. But campaign stll behaves the same.

In my computer I have structure: System(C:)/Users/ Name/ Saved Games/ DCS  World Open Beta and DCS.openbeta

Run the version that shows the reported problem, exit DCS and upload dcs.log from that session.

Saved games folder is usually used for saving the DCS options, configs, controls, screenshots, tracks, user missions etc. If the game files are also installed in this same location it can generate problems that not even devs predicted.

I'm guessing here...but maybe the 'mod' affected the correct update to the logbook.lua so DCS doesn't know it's supposed to display the next mission as Active?

 

I don't have your campaign so do not know exactly what you need to change but if you open your logbook in a txt editor and look for the campaign you should be able to see the results so far....here is my example of from Raven One campaign. What you can see is that I have only completed mission 1 with a result of 70 and that the 2nd entry just shows the path to the next mission file.

                [15] =

                {

                    ["created"] = "Thu Mar 30 12:11:02 2023",

                    ["player"] = "Trigati",

                    ["campaign"] = "./Mods/campaigns/FA-18C Raven One/Raven One.cmp",

                    ["status"] = "Active",

                    ["history"] =

                    {

                        [1] =

                        {

                            ["datetime"] = "Thu Mar 30 15:04:01 2023",

                            ["aaKills"] = 0,

                            ["agKills"] = 0,

                            ["stage"] = 1,

                            ["deathsCount"] = 0,

                            ["result"] = 70,

                            ["mission"] = "R1 M01.miz",

                        }, -- end of [1]

                        [2] =

                        {

                            ["stage"] = 2,

                            ["mission"] = "R1 M02.miz",

                        }, -- end of [2]

                    }, -- end of ["history"]

                }, -- end of [15]

 

My bet is that if you looked at yours it would just show the entries for the completed missions and not show the basic entry for the next mission....so DCS doesn't know to display it. So I think if you added the section (whatever number is next in sequence... [3] maybe and in the { } put stage = 3 and mission = 'whatever the next mission filename is" then it would appear as Active in DCS and you could continue.

                        [3] =

                        {

                            ["stage"] = 3,

                            ["mission"] = "PUT THE FILENAME HERE.miz",

                        }, -- end of [3]

 

 

(I also guess that if you replayed the last mission fully it might then unlock the next one properly unless you still had whatever mod/issue with your install that stopped it)

I have started the campaign (state the same as above screenshot) Try to click OK and mission2 starts again.

Please find enclosed the only two files with today´s date I have found in Log file of DCS.openbeta. neither is named Log there...
