(43.10) Unable to create a New Contract (GM) prior to game year 3030 #722

Closed servo01 closed 6 years ago

servo01 commented 6 years ago

Starting a new campaign, and I'm finding that 43.10 won't allow me to create a new contract with: Briefing Room/Add Mission/New Contract (GM Mode)

I downloaded 43.10 again and did a clean install, and the problem persists. I then started adjusting a variety of different settings (faction, RATs, etc...) in order to get it to work and discovered that advancing my in-game year from 3014 to at least 3030 makes it possible to GM Mode new contracts.

Do you have a campaign save file?

Ok, looks like there is an exception happening there, for which I have a fix in the pipeline. Mostly, the issue is that you're in the ass-end of nowhere, so the only potential options are contracts vs pirates and rebels - I'll also be better communicating that MekHQ was unable to generate a contract (rather than just failing silently).

To improve your odds of finding a contract, you can set your contract search radius wider, or travel to a border world.
