Hard Mode

[rinaldop]

Soooo, I completed ALL the Space Hulk missions and ALL the DLC missions in normal mode (YAY ME) I am now trying to play them in hard mode so I started with mission 1, Sin of Damnation - Suicide Mission. I won it first time! So I tried the next mission, Exterminate, but it is not in Hard Mode (no timer and over 4 CP) I have put the difficulty slider to Hard but no missions start in Hard Mode, not even the Suicide Mission. Now if I click on Continue Last the game jumps me to Messanger of Purgatory - Clense, and it is in Hard Mode. How does this work?

Badly, by the sound of it.

Probably a bug in the follow-up protocols for the mission advancement system. Zuggi will want to make a note of this.

I guess no one plays hard mode? I keep trying missions and sometimes hard mode works and sometimes it doesn't, strange.

There was a known bug in an earlier version where the difficulty would reset between each map. Maybe this has been re-introduced? Zuggi would be the one to find out, but I'll try out Hard Mode and see if I can replicate the issue.

There was a fix last patch as when click back from briefing without entering the ame it would reset to easy....but the fix there must have created the other bug..I have already put it on the list for them to fix for the next patch.

Rinaldop... are you playing on ipad,Pc or Mac ? ..I'm testing it now and right now it only happend on iPad not my PC

Not a fix obviously, but house rules can be fun - never rerolling your CP should make it harder than just a limit to 4 :)

Well, I must say I am NOT playing hard mode for the challenge, I am playing for banner unlocks ;)

The chance of unlock is based on the difficulty level for a given mission
Easy = 10%
Normal = 25%
Hard = 50%

But yesterday I played TWO missions in hard mode and got ZERO unlocks so I am a bit worn out - lol

Hmmm but the banners do not do anything, am I correct?

Correct - they are just collectible items

UPDATE
I found a trick that works, I switch from hard to normal than back to hard then start the mission. Has worked every time so far.
