Act II game breaking bug

[Gandhi'sNightmare]

I got to the point where my recruit pops up and tells me to use a captain I just recruited to spy on the warchief. It prompts me to hit ESC and I have no choice but to hit it. That takes me to the army screen. When I get to the army screen I'm prompted to select the new recruit. It then tells me to select the warchief I want to spy on except I can't because the top of the screen is black over the warchief and won't scroll up enough for me to select him. I can't escape from the screen either so I have to shutdown the game to get out. But then when I start it back up the same thing happens and there's no way to get out of the loop that I can see because the follower pops up everytime to prompt me to setup the spy.

I had a problem with the second guy that I recruited where the Olog would show up and tell me to have him kill somebody, but I never could finish the rest of the tutorial because it never popped up. I fixed it by: verifying the integrity of the game cache, and making sure I have a warchief as a bodyguard.

It seems to have something to do with not undoing the previous actions you took for the orc follower tutorial. So I'd say try that. No guarentees, but you might have the same issue here.

(To be clear) Make sure you didn't undo the previous stuff you did for the tutorial in which you control your orcs.

I fixed it somehow by spamming the space bar on the screen where it was telling me to select the warchief to spy on. No idea how it worked but it worked. Thank you for the reply though.

Had the same issue. But on top of that, I had killed the Warchiefs way before I even got to the army management tutorial, so there was none to select. For me, this is how I resolved that:

I didn't have to relog or press the space bar rapidly, or verify game files, I just had to move my cursor to top of the screen. I had to keep pressing up, even though the cursor was already at the top of the screen. Eventually the screen moved up so I could see the Warchief spots.

Once I had done that, I thought "Well, let me see if I could select one of the empty Warchief spots". Initially, on the first click, it did nothing, in either spot. I then started rapidly clicking until it eventually selected the empty spot. I was finally able to send my recruit to the fighting pits.

One thing to note, in case it was not obvious to anyone: After you send your recruit to the fighting pits, you need to actually GO to the mission it creates. Once you enter the mission, you're put as a spectator. The mission may resolve without having to do this, but you may have to either win another captain battle somewhere, or die (usually in both cases battle reports come in and resolve conflicts)..

I killed the Warchiefs before getting to this point. When I selected the spy I had to move the cursor toward the top of the screen, then at the place of dead Warchief I was able to see part of his "label" and click [space].
The problem is that the banner with instructions covers this area by default.

Same issues ...I tried the spacebar spamming method and it was not sucessful, - this really needs to be fixed! Any other suggestions?
