What am I supposed to do after the tutorial?

[Searry]

So after I am taught how to move the mech and click the button to finish the mission, somekind of a spaceships appears on the screen and nothing happens.
What am I supposed to do? Am I just stupid?

Pick a contract and play You can find them in the sidebar menu with the Spacecraft

I can't see any UI.

I can't see any UI.

This is what you should see. Go to the Command center to take contracts and talk with darius. Barracks is where you level up your Mechwarriors. Mech bay for ustomization and repairs. navigation to travel elsewhere. captains wuarters for paintshceme, checking financed and faction reputation. Do you see any of these?

 

[Havamal]

If you do see this, and have selected a travel contract already, or are otherwise traveling, note that it may be paused. Click the play button to resume traveling.
Time only advances when play is clicked.

I am having the OP's same issue. The issue isn't that we don't see what button to click.. the issue is we don't see any UI at all. We only see the spaceship floating in frame and the planet spinning. No UI or any button to unpause anything. I have reinstalled twice and tried the tutorial four times and nothing resolves this issue.

Hmm try Control+ shift +U to see if you can toggle the UI

Sorry if suggestions dont work, but from experience sometimes it is the small stuff.

That didn't work =/ I've been trying to figure out what could be causing this all day. It's upsetting to say the least.

Did you try a different res, or windowed mode?

Wow, doing both of these prompted the cutscene to play that never did and now I think I've progressed forward. Why would my native resolution of 1920x1080 in fullscreen cause this to be an issue though?

EDIT: There's also this being reported as well over on GOG forums.

Apparently AV's are causing issues as well?

Beats me. Glad it worked for you.
I've suggesting whitelisting for the Antivirus to others though. Another mod reminded me how often this is the issue in gaming.

Kev, I use the same resolution as you. I've just loaded the game and started the tutorial briefly, before doing other work. (I'll start my 1st proper game over the weekend) But while I was loading, my Bit Defender's ransomware utility blocked the Battletech.Exe from writing, as well as blocking a 2nd utility that was to detect the screen size. I was expecting the exe issue and added that to the white list. But the separate screen utility was a surprise and might be an issue for some users if that app is blocked or flagged.

Shocker - AV programs are causing issues. Most AV software is useless and causes more problems than it will ever solve.

Don't click on things you shouldn't and you don't need AV software.

Well, I am having the same issue, I'm afraid. I cannot, for the life of me, get to the adventure after "Coronation Day." After beating that mission (for what must be the 12th time now), I speak to Darius and get the "3 Years Later" text. The screen then shows the Leopard-class Dropship flying toward a planet, the music plays, the "busy" circle in the upper-left moves and moves, and the advice to play the game continues to display messages...

...but that's where it stops.

I have tried disabling my Anti-virus program (though I can't tell if it is blocking BattleTech; there does not seem to be a screen for that).
I have changed from full-screen mode to windowed mode and back.
I have changed resolution several times and mixed both aforementioned viewing modes.
I have restarted my computer multiple times (yes, it exceeds the required hardware).
I have reinstalled three times.
I have also attempted these things with Steam in offline mode.

No matter what I try, the game will not continue past that point. The crazy thing is, it seems to play flawlessly up until that point.

Any ideas, fellow gamers?

I did multiple things at once hoping it would help with that (it did). You are supposed to get a cutscene after that and load into a next mission not see the ship above the planet, this means the game is messed up by the cutscene not playing.

Ran the game as administrator, switched the game to windowed (kept it there), changed resolution to 720p (from 1080p, combined with windowed it really is terrible) and for the sake of it I disabled High quality UI or whathever it is called. Voila, the cutscene after that mission loaded and so did the next mission (after 3 years, mining desert planet etc). It is more than 24 hours since release and no patch though? BAD!

Edit:
Though I wonder whether after finishing that, saving the game and changing the game back to fullscreen and 1080p might end up breaking it all again.

 

[Forester]

Yow. I hope not, Ri0Rdian... Maybe you want to save multiple times just in case it breaks?

 

[Forester]

Well, I don't know how to run the game as administrator (nor can I even find it on Search - the game is not where I told it to save). I'll try those other things you tried and see how it goes, and if that works I'll try to revert back to Fullscreen w/ 1080p and tell you how it worked out? =)

 

[Forester]

@Ri0Rdian Nope. Same result. Thanks for the lead though and I'm glad it worked for you (even if only in a limited fashion).

 

[Forester]

And I finally found out how to find the BattleTech.exe file and run it as Administrator.

No change.

 

[Forester]

Perhaps I should open up my own Bug Report? I'll give that a try. Thanks, again! =)
