I can’t argue with that either. The first Special Mission that came available to me was a Tornado scientific mission. Upon completion, I would have achieved “S” reputation. Instead, it CTD’d upon returning to to the office. When I logged back in, the game took away ALL my reputation points and I’m back to the beginning.
At least it gave me and saved to the cloud about 10,000 ( I think) credits before the CTD. Now I have that mission stuck on my map and it gives an error notification when clicked on. Luckly, I can still continue the career doing other things.
2024 is actually a modern era open Beta release called “a Release”. It’s the norm with developers today. I suspect some developers want people to PAY to beta test their products rather than having to pay someone in house to test their products before an actual release.
It’s frustrating, but they gotta feed their families.
BTW: WHEN my game starts not showing missions like it is for you, I’m going to delete and clean reinstall 2024. I have no doubt it will happen to me eventually.
