Calling for Help bugged 2021

Plattform: PC

Description: I startet a new game from the scratch. I entered the Saltholmen Naval Base and followed the waypoint. I killed more than five Robots including a military hunter. The Kill counter doesn’t count. It remeains at “Free the Base from the threat and kill all the Machines 0/5” . As i killed all the enemys the waypoint hung in the air and i can’t turn on the radio and the tick in the switch cabinet in the hut of the Radar Mast doesn’t spawn. As i played the game in early 2020 the mission worked fine. But now it stucks at the point of killing enemys. I know there are more similar topics about this bug and i have read them.
It seems to me that this bug only appears when you are on single player. I remembered as i played this mission in early 2020 i had some random players in the game and i was the host.

Pherhaps there is a difference between single player and multiplayer. My game is set to “only friends can join”.

Steps to reproduce: Don’t know how i can reproduce it.

Host or Client: I was Host and i was alone in my game.

Players in your game: None

Processor Intel i5 (8 CPU) 2.40 GHz

Thanks in advance.

Have you asked Aesyle for help? Maybe she knows a work around. Only thing I can think off is that maybe steam cloud is making the game think you did this already, or maybe you killed a random enemy and there’s still one lurking about. I do not know the best procedure to restart the game, but my guess is that steam cloud should be disabled or something.

That tick you are talking about is that the tick from the mission Over and Out ? It will not spawn if you haven’t finished “Calling for help” mission.

Yes it is the Tick from over and out what did not spawn. I killed all enemys that encountered me but the kill counter in the Message box didn‘t count. I tried it a second time. Some enemys appeared and i killed them. But nothing happens in the hut with the radio. You cant switch it on. As i remember i played this mission together with a friend and at this time it worked fine and i could complete the mission. I think this is an issue with single player.

I don‘t know what i have done wrong. At first i completed the Vesslan Bunker as solo player. Then i went to the naval base run in and killed the bots. I have dodged in the hut with the radio. After i killed all the enemys the mission symbol hung in the air and no more enemy comes up. The Base seemed empty. Then i made the naval bunker and it worked fine si i could complete the mission.

Btw what i have noticed is that the weapon counter doesn‘t count correct. In Salthamn there should be 3 Weapons. I found two rifles and a Pistol but the weapon counter remains at zero. In the vesslan bunker the same i found more than three weapons but the counter doesn‘t count. Pherhaps it is an issue with steam.

I never started a new game because of the strange way the game works with counting. I keep away from playing with others, and hope that this way my game doesn’t mess up with wrong counters or not tracking missions etc.

So, I don’t think you should be able to do anything wrong. The game should be more sturdy, and not go wrong. Anyway did you get past “calling for help”? Ironically that you needed to call for help on this one. :wink:

Btw this morning I saw that the thick fog in churches and houses is back, hadn’t seen that for a long time.

Hi @Gysbert i @Gysbert. I think i have found the bug. In the Morning i had the Idea to switch the mode of the game and try again. So i started Steam and i started the Game and switched it from skirmish to Adventurer. As i entered the base i had to fought two runners and a military hunter like yesterday. After the third shed as i come closer to the mission sign five runners spawnd with the targed sign above them. The kill counter had remained at zero after i killed the first three bots. But after i attacked and killed the first of the spawned Runners „ BINGO“ the counter counts and after i fought the rest of the bots down the mission continued as expected. I could switch on the radio in the shed and the tick spawned in the switch cabinet in the shed at the radar mast. The mission ends and unlocked the Mission „Over and out“

So i come to the conclusion that there is a bug in the skirmish Mode. Also the Äsöstungan Outpost didn‘t appear on the Map but that is not a problem.

Yeah :joy: that is a thing after two years of playing. But i saw some more topics with the same „Calling for Help“. But the calls seemed to go unheard. :joy::joy: :wink:

That‘s right. I saw in the log that many missions popped up. Also the Mission that starts the travel to Hjimfäll. As i started the game i bought the basic game anf Alpine Unrest. I walked then after the HUD and it has lead me to Hjimfäll. In the log you can mark which Mission you will track. It seems to me that in the HUD everytime the last unlocked Mission will pop up. As i started the game in the last days of 2019 i made all Missions on Yttervik and payed no attention to the HUD. But now i know the game better i will follow the missions in the perfect order. In comparison to two years before i found more ammo and better weapons.

Recently I joined a random host, and he was just preparing for the hotel defence mission. I checked the map and LOG… he didn’t do the Iboholmen Castle mission, or any that was close by. From the path of safehouses he clearly went straight to Himfiall
