Can't Access MP after last Patch

[larizona55]

Hi after the last patch, I can not access multiplayer. I have only two choices from the main screen, "campaigns" and "quit".

The other buttons are greyed out: "load", "multiplayer" and "editor". Please help.

Thanks

I know that when you install BA for the first time,..you're required to play 1-3 of the initial campaign before all others (as well as multi-player) are unlocked.
Had you reinstalled? Worse comes to worse, try playing the initial campaigns and see if that unlocks MP for you.

I had installed BA plus the latest patch brand new at work. All is locked out including the MP as I stated.
Unfortunately for me,..I run Windows in a VMWare session, and the game is just to slow to play at all.

Yes, you will probably need to just play through the tutorial again. And then I think it wants you to at least go into the first desert mission. A simple update shouldn't reset the campaigns, unless you deleted your BBCBA folder in My Docs/My Games?

Another option is to just open the OPTIONS.TXT file in My Docs/My Games/BBCBA and set the CAMPAIGNS entry to 255, then save the file. That will unlock everything.

Cheers

Thanks, modified OPTIONS.TXT and all working well now. Thanks
