Bug in Campaign 2?
 
After destroying the Xiati Starbase in Xiltro in the 2nd campaign, you're supposed to report to the Abbidon Starbase in Lundra for further orders. This quest seems not to update at all, either after destroying the starbase or at Lundra, so I'm simply stuck here? Have tried it 2x from the beginning of the campaign; anyone have an idea what might be wrong? Thx!

It could be that you also have to clean up the Xiati ships in the system. IIRC, the Amonkrie starbase mission in the demo is the same way.

Thanks. I tried this, but it seemed to make no difference - still don't get any notice of completion.

You are not alone! My borther had the same problem. He gave up on starfury, so now i'm trying to get there. Have you tried edditing the campaign file or save games?

Just about to give up myself, too, as there's no point in continuing since I can't complete this quest (which had no time limit - so you can't even fail). I should think the problem is in either the ##.MAP or campaign.DAT file in the appropriate /savegames/slot## folder, but I don't know how to edit (or even open) either file type. Definitely stuck...

This worked fine for me, but I think I found a way to get you past it. (assuming you just aren't forgetting to use the abbidon contact..but if you got this far I doubt it!)

Load the save game with the problem, then type

`TRIGGEREVENT Event Abbidon Operations 6 Start C`

EXACTLY like that, including the ` on each end.
Its a bit of a mouthful, but what this does in enable the next mission manually. You may have the leave out the Event before Abbidon, I'm not sure. Capitilzation doesn't count matter.

Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!

This did work - doesn't get rid of the entry in Mission Status for the hung mission but it does allow me to progress on through the campaign. I assume this was simply a case of wading through the MainEvents.txt file to find the appropriate EventName and starting the mission after it? Had looked at this previously but didn't know the right syntax to use.

Thanks again, Phoenix!

Yup. I'd still like to know what happened to that missions though..and be careful, you can only have 3 active at a time.

Re: Bug in Campaign 2?
 
A friend is having a strange problem related to this bug. In his case the Abbidon starbase has disappeared from the map, hence the mission (and the one following it, I think) cannot be completed. Is it an actual starbase or one of the planets? If it's a starbase, it's gone on all maps & views. Why??
