Cannot find Scenarios list

[MrJamesEMcBride]

Hello,
When I open the Single Player menu and select the Scenarios tab, all that I see is '(No Custom Scenarios Available)'. Shouldnt there be a list of single scenarios with each of the DLCs? Why am I not able to see those scenarios listed?
Thanks in advance for the help!

For some odd reason, you can't play a single scenario unless you have already reached it via a campaign. Once you play it one time, it will then be available. Personally, I'd rather them all be unlocked right from the point of purchase. There is a way to unlock them all that usually works. FROM THE CAMPAIGN SCREEN, type SHIFT + C. Then type in #gimmeall - click CONFIRM - wait a moment or two - all scenarios SHOULD be unlocked for you.

Hmmm, i have finished sandstorm campaign few days ago and have only one last scenario from this campaign - Sun Hero

Hey Richfed
Yeah, shoulda figured that it would take some sort of 'cheat code'. I wasnt sure if there were any scenarios in the DLC packs there werent part of the campaign, or if you had to do just what you said. I sort of suspected that might be the case.

Thanks for the help, though! I DID unlock the scenarios,

Glad to help. Usually, I'm the one asking for help.

Yeah, unfortunately that's an ongoing bug, showing only the last scen played in the list...

When do you think in fixing the bug showing only the last scen played in the list ?

Since 09/2020 I made several installings of this game because I thought "destroying" the played scenario list with a personal scenario I uploaded (before everything was OK) - anyway no improvements - all the time when playing 1 - 3 scenarios only the last played game is shown.

This was the reason for me NOT purchasing "Red Storm" and "Allied Defiant" because I want to have this fixed first - I didn't know that this is a bug.

There's a "workaround" for this problem, but it's not error-free itself:

You can set the "unlocked.dat" file (contains the unlocked scens) inside the OoB \Settings folder to "read-only" via the Windows-Explorer. Problem is, it won't be updated when you play something new and it only works after a fresh restart of the game. I mean you have to restart the game each time you want the full scen list.

Maybe this "solution" works for you - it was too inconvenient for me.

As I wrote before since 09/2020 I have trouble with this feature (with ~ 2700h of playing time since release including all purchaseable DLCs up to "Red Steel")

First I thought it has something to do with the download of a single Scenario (Operation Dragoon) - it was the first time I percepted this problem - so I deleted everything additionally installed - but the error continued
Then I thought it has something to do with deleted saved game files in the foulder - so I made a re-install - but no improvement
Then I disabled the STEAM cloud because it seem I get some (probably corrupted) saved files back from the cloud to my computer - but nothing

Several tests more finally I gave up checking what's wrong with OOB since I build a complete new computer in 02/2021 with everything installed new

First OOB was looking well and I was happy - I made some tests - but the error is coming again when saving the first time a game from a campaign (I tested it only with "Red Steel") - if I play 2 or 3 scenarios without saving the finished games are shown normally in the list !!

So now I think I got the bug with an upgrade during or after the "Red Steel" DLC (latest purchased DLC) - before everything was OK

I like to "unlock" scenarios after completing them - it's a great feature for replayability - hopefully you will fix this soon
