I’m with everyone else on this thread. Went to start a new campaign on (wol) and get the initial cutscene and then mission archives. When I do it with swarm. It begins the first mission but then it doesn’t recognize that I make the zerglings so it doesn’t move on with the mission.

All the solo game is broken, and impossible to rename or remove replay files.

My theory is that the core issue, that result in all the others seen around recently, is the permission issue.
Basically, the game generate fresh data, try to save them, fail, then 2 things may have happened:
- the failure to save cause many functions to just be skipped, resulting in the issues seen later
- after trying and failing to save, at some point, the game reload from the save, except that it wasn’t modified, and so the issues seen result in a mix from old save data and data as they were generated for the use case
By the way, I don’t think I have the issue (I tried mission 1 of Zerg campaign to check if I would get swarmlings), but my data is in a non-standard location, so that may be why it work normally for me.
Maybe it’s an attempt to fix the OneDrive incompatibility that went wrong?

For me it is like this:
Trying to start Terran campaign (New Campaign) enters some of the old saved files, and Lost Viking game screen is opened 
I am also not able to effectively start a campaign. Tried to restart a WoL compaign and kept getting put back to where I left off years ago near the end. To detail, I get the opening cinematic, the mar sara loading screen, then it puts me on char with a bunch of graphical glitches all over the screen.
Tried to start a HotS campaign and it’s giving me raptor strain zerglings on the first mission and not counting them towards creating zerglings. Played through all the campaigns before, but I like to replay them from time to time.

So I cant start a new WoL Campaign. I did load a old save fill that did take me back to the 3rd mission to progress from there. I then tried LotV and it gave me the Sentinels instead of Zealots for the first mission. Also after that Spear of Adune is blacked out and noticing cutscenes being let out.

I have an issue with HotS campaign; I couldn’t get past tutorial Zerglings. I tried cheating to fix it (skipped levels), which fixed the problem with the tutorial, but now achievements are disabled permanently even when I start a new campaign again without cheating.

Also having this problem. Campaigns are unplayable.
Thought it was my computer so I uninstalled with the intention of reinstalling, but apparently people are having trouble with installation?
New campaign worked fine for me in October so this is likely a recent update that did this.

Having the same problem — when presented the choice of ‘Shatter the Sky’ or ‘Belly of the Beast’ and completing either of the missions, it just resets and I cannot finish the campaign. Blizzard, what is going on?

So I could start a new campaign after switching regions. However, as mentioned before, achievements didn’t carry over.
It all worked flawlessly until I loaded back into the Hyperion’s bridge after Gates of Hell. See for yourselves:

Those bubbles are the character models.
I think you’re supposed to be on the surface of Char by that point, so that’s where the issue may be. After attempting to go to the armory, the game properly loads to the planetary surface, though.
E: Also, the cutscene where Warfield catches some hydralisk spines didn’t play.
E2: Seems any cutscenes supposed to play in between missions on Char are bugged, and the game throws you out on the Hyperion’s bridge for some reason every time as well.

Hey there, same problems as listed above but with EU region. I supposed it was me but this is not the case, it seems
This is when you know the current generation of PC gaming is in trouble when even single player campaign can be messed up after after its launch for so many years. And not to mention an official acknowledgement to look into the matter came a few days later after it happened.

I get what you’re saying, but I’m thankful they are looking into it at all. I didn’t expect to have an “official” response. Hopefully they will roll something out soon that will fix the campaign issues.
