Stuck Near the Beginning [Solved]

[Jurassic Fart 2]

I go up to the rooftop after fighting my way through the streets, where I meet an NPC teammate, and we're supposed to hold off the enemy while we await extraction. The problem is that I kill all the enemy…and NOTHING. No inbound chopper, no extraction team, NOTHING—for days.

What the Hell's going on?

I dont know whats happening but can you make it run on other windows operating systems other then xp such as windows 8

[Jurassic Fart 2]

??? This is not a platform issue; it runs FINE on Windows 10, and the hardware way exceeds minimum requirements. The problem is that, in the game, after I kill a small handful of enemies, the expected wave of enemy combatants I'm supposed to kill to clear the extraction chopper's LZ never materializes.

I kill a few guys…and nothing—no horde of assault-rifle-wielding bad guys, no chopper to take me home…just standing around forever with my thumbs up my bung.

Same here

I'm getting REALLY tired of starting over. Maybe there's somebody I'm NOT supposed to kill…?

SCREW it. I'm going to download a savegame getting me past this game-killing glitched mission.

[Jurassic Fart 2]

Well, nobody had either any idea or interest, so I downloaded a savegame / mission unlocker that got me past the end of the first chapter; I merely chose to resume play in the trainyard.

Good-bye glitch.

I know it's too late now, but if you still want to actually solve this and you could post a screenshot, I'd be happy to try to help. (I've played through this at least a dozen times.)

[Jurassic Fart 2]

Screenshot? All it would show would be me and my two men (singleplayer) just STANDING there not being attacked, not seeing our chopper coming into the LZ. I can't show you a screenshot of something that ISN'T happening. It's a logical fallacy, like being required by a court to prove you're not guilty.

I truly do appreciate your friendliness and willingness to help, though. Steam could use more players like you.

By the way, [on another thread] there was another glitch that became the straw that broke the camel's back: I got to the trainyard, but the objective refused to change away from the outfitting station to the hostages.

I uninstalled the game and moved on to Vegas 2.

[Kickin' Chicken]

With a screenshot I would've been able to see where you were in the game and possibly direct you where to go next (unless, of course, it was a true glitch). I know that the first time I played I didn't always know how to trigger the next event, but fair enough. Enjoy Vegas 2!

[Jurassic Fart 2]

Sorry; I didn't think a screenshot was necessary, as it was the end of the first chapter where your immediate objective was to fight off the expected waves of enemies as you and your team awaited extraction by chopper (the next time I'll know better, as visual aids are sometimes stronger memory cues than verbal descriptions).

The thing that irritates me about this particular problem is that a few years ago, I distinctly remember having this precise issue…yet, have no conscious memory of how I got around it. Then, my next [most recent] glitch, where the objective marker refused to change from the outfitting crate at the start of the trainyard to the hostages we were supposed to rescue, never happened on previous playthroughs.

Grrr! I wasn't using Steam versions back then, so game progress wasn't synched to cloud. I haven't been religious about backing up my Tom Clancy games' progress, so this time I had to start from scratch. Tell you what: I'll reinstall Vegas One, try again, and if I reproduce the undesireable circumstance, I'll post the requested screenshot.

I do remember, though, that Vegas Two was more challenging than Vegas One.

[Kickin' Chicken]

Now I remember that area, but if you decide to reinstall, I'll be happy to help you. (I said that I played it a lot, not that my memory is good; tough getting old!)

[Jurassic Fart 2]

Yeah. I know what you mean. I'm so old that I remember that when I bought an extra 16 MB RAM for my 800 MHz CPU machine with a 480 MB HDD, I thought my poop was HAWT. Couple more months and I turn 57. The crap stored in my long-term RAM keeps getting overwritten. I still rememebr my home phone from 1978, but I can't remember what I had for breakfast three damned days ago!

61 in July!

(smile) Cool!

Kickin' Chicken: I'm back in the trainyard after reinstallation, and the objective is no longer frozen.

(grimace) But my men and I keep getting stuck in the damned railcars when we try to use the "handy" ramps; we have to exit by NOT using the ramps. Weird.

That's some strange behavior, but I'm glad that you're no longer stuck. Let me know if you get stuck again!
