Mission cannot progress after a save

Match the symptom

Saving at certain points during a mission could prevent any further progression. The official note groups affected missions without assigning each failure to every named job.

Check before changing your save

Compare the active stage before saving with the first action after loading. If one objective lost its tick, use the objective record; if dialogue repeats, use the dialogue record. This page concerns a mission that cannot advance at all after the load.

1. Confirm Steam has completed all available updates.
2. Compare the active stage before saving with the first action after loading. If one objective lost its tick, use the objective record; if dialogue repeats, use the dialogue record. This page concerns a mission that cannot advance at all after the load.
3. Retain the failing save alongside any earlier working save. Record mission name, stage and last successful action; do not erase the campaign or assume one replacement item repairs its progression state.

Official fix versus your current save

The developer's Update 6 note establishes a historical fix for this symptom. It does not publish a universal recovery command or prove that a previously damaged save will repair itself. This guide has not independently retested your save.

Recovery decision

Retain the failing save alongside any earlier working save. Record mission name, stage and last successful action; do not erase the campaign or assume one replacement item repairs its progression state.

1. If the installed game is older than the named patch, update and retest the same action.
2. If the issue persists, try an existing known-good save without overwriting the failing one.
3. If it repeats, report mission save state, the exact objective, installed build and reproduction steps to the developer's Steam discussion board.
