@Pocket Woofie,

10 minutes seems to be long enough :p.

I will release a new version this week-end, tell me if the bug is still here.

@Patapignouf

Define "long enough" because it has sat on that screen for 10+ minutes without change. At that point, it is not a game breaker but is literally just unplayable. From what I've observed, the number of mods does not seem to be the issue as this was not encountered in prior versions running the same mods.

I think it might be an issue in how the mission is reading the mod files to set up the faction parameters as the "unrelated config error" the mission would throw before going to the "Preparing Mission Setup" screen would be a No entry error for the config of a random uniform. If the mod is removed, it would throw the same error but for a different mod. This has thrown errors for 3cb and S&S so it is not a config issue with these mods, especially when these errors are not thrown for other missions running the same modpack such as DRO or TRGM.

Hello @Pocket Woofie,
I think it's the known issue from the last major version. The long blackscreen while the mission is preparing the setup menu seems to come from a high number of mods.
It will be shortened in the next release.
It must not be a gamebreaker loading, if you wait long enough, the setup menu will come.

The mission hangs on a black screen that says "Preparing Mission Setup" upon trying to start the mission. I had tried setting up the mission to troubleshoot after a friend had said they had the exact issue. Both attempts were set up on Multiplayer LAN. It also seems to throw an unrelated config error before the "Preparing Mission Setup" screen. Initially I had thought it was unrelated as it was a config error however it would throw a similar config error for a different mod if the mod in question is removed.

Not only, there are more objectives types.

is it sector control?
