CAMPAIGN IS PLAYABLE - Workarounds for major bugs
Hey there,

just wanted to inform anyone playing that this campaign can indeed still be finished properly.
However some missions are a little buggy or need to be skipped entirely, but considering the size of the campaign that isn't too bad.

Bugged missions: Ransom Demand, Force Recon, Uncle Kostas, others (partially)

To skip missions in this campaign you can't use the normal skipmission cheatcode, instead you will have to enter a command in the debug console.

How to skip missions in M.E.R.C.S.:

1. Subscribe to CBA_A3 and @fhq_debug (or any other working debug console)

2. Use custom key 20 to open up your debug console ingame

3. Enter " [] call IP_fnc_cheatEndMission; " into the exec line and execute it locally
(without quotation marks)

The main reason for bugs are small videos (like the " x hours later " one) that have been moved by Bohemia in an update quite some time ago. This causes the game to freeze or go black, but most of these problems can be fixed by simply saving and loading your game.

I hope this is helpful to some of you, who wish to enjoy this excellent campaign.

Feel free to add further solutions or ask any questions.

Cheers,
Skooma

Could you recommend a debug console? @fhq_debug doesn't seem to open even when I set my custom use action 20 key.

Hey Yankee,
that's strange, FHQ works just fine for me.
You can try Revo's Debug Console, that should also work.
It will open up the normal ArmA console in your menu.

Hey,
i never had this particular problem, so i can't really help you out with this one. Deactivating your other mods is probably worth a try. Otherwise maybe revert to an older savegame and just try again and hope for the best.
Sadly with every new ArmA update the older campaigns become less stable.
Hope you can figure it out!

I've just cleared one site on Stratis and went back to the camp, then saved.

Now I cannot load that save anymore: "Incompatible Version"

Does anyone know what to do about that?
