So, I gave this one a try and hit a bug which makes the campaign unfinishable. Google didn't help beyond telling me that one other guy had exactly the same problem in the past and didn't get any help. I thought I might as well ask here, nothing to lose.
So, I played the campaign up to mission... IIRC 7, "Defending the Camp". You have to go around on a large map alone, helping out four villages so they'll send you resources in exchange. I've scoured the map, finished the quests, the last of the four supply cart arrive back in camp, and...
I'm fucked. The screen goes black and the leafy borders appear which indicate a 3D cutscene - only there's NO 3D cutscene (or 2D voiced one, either). One second of black screen with leafy borders, then I get the mission victory screen where you can go on to the next mission or back to the main menu. Obviously, I click next mission, it loads... AND IT'S THE WRONG MISSION. After finishing mission 7, the game does NOT load mission 8. It loads mission
6, the previous one. And it doesn't simply load it, it actually reverts your character to whatever stats, levels and equipment it had back when it started that mission originally. The same think happens if, instead of finishing mission 7 properly, I just use the cheat code to instawin.
This happened on mulitple attempts. If I go to the campaign and mission selection screen from the main menu, the selectable missions only go up to 6. Not to 8,
not even to 7, which I just finished.
This is fucked up. I'm angry. Also, I installed the Unofficial Patch from
here, but it doesn't fix it.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
