Temporary amnesia?

[Redglyph]

At the end of a campaign mission, my current level was reset and it added the points of the mission to an empty XP pilot - as if I were starting a new pilot, and no campaign mission was available in the current chapter (counter-offensive, BoM).

 

After quitting, and starting IL2 again, the previous state was back, but the mission has been done for nothing, it didn't count at all.

 

After the random half points, it seems those scores and status become more and more weird.

Same bug again when starting IL-2. Is that a known problem?

Another case of amnesia, after doing a simple mission in BoS, the map shows no mission.

 

The _gui.log shows errors:

The tex.log is full of errors (see attachment, I had to rename it because the forums won't accept .log files).

 

Not sure what else could be useful.

Still happening with update 2.008.

 

After a mission of the campaign "Battle of Stalingrad", no mission shown on the map, last mission does not count at all.

I experienced this ones and was confused but after restarting the game i never had that again, dont know why you have this so often.

Yet another time, it seems to happen every time the pilot reaches a new level (except I can't seem to get past this point now).

I knew the answer to this problem but I have forgotten it....

 

Seriously, you might as well just leave the official campaign if this is frustrating you. Since it is going to be replaced soon with a new Career mode and we do not need to "unlock" anymore, I doubt it is getting any attention.  In the meantime, there are some really good SP campaigns available.

I can agree, PWCG for example is a very good sp campagin in my opinion and i read often enough that the scripted campaign you can buy is also very nice, maybe this is a short time solution to your problem.

Thanks for the tips

 

Following the instructions from the support, I re-installed IL-2 in case some files were corrupted, but it's too early to tell whether it has solved the problem or not. I will confirm later for anyone else who encounters the same issue.

 

I don't care much for the level/XP thing, and while I wonder why some of the missions remain inaccessible, it's not a big deal, the way the campaigns are organized doesn't always make it easy to get involved anyway so I'm just enjoying the flight and the fight. But I'm curious to see the new career mode, this could give the missing motivation by adding some purpose to an otherwise seemingly random series of missions.

 

I've tried the new "scripted" campaign DLC, it's nice really. It feels more personal than the current campaigns, the missions feel more different from one another and actually relate to the story.
