Thank you very much, Key Blue! I managed to get the mission working by doing exactly what you said! Woot!!!

What might work is:
Host non-coop game, set victory to sandbox, make sure it's set to sandbox, leave lobby.

Now your intial victory setting has become sandbox.
So even if you can't change it in options, it should be set as sandbox.

Now you don't need an AI (AI was probably necessary cause you can't play a game with assassination as victory setting without opponents)

Hopefully this will solve your problem.

Yeah I tried it but it wouldn't allow me. The game said I need to change the game winning condition to sandbox before I can even start the mission... but that's the weird part, because as you can see in the picture from the previous reply I gave... I can't change it to sandbox since there are no options to change the game winning condition.

Also, I'm wondering... did I download the right thing to play the coop mission?

Because the FAF client I downloaded from http://www.faforever.com/downloads/#.V29-q7grLDc would always give me an error when I try to play the coop mission, so I asked around in the chat if there'are any way I could play coop mission.

I was told to click the link right AFTER the "PLAY CO-OP HERE" on the title section of the chat. The link automatically downloaded another copy of FAF client, then it replaced the FAF client I downloaded from http://www.faforever.com/downloads/#.V29-q7grLDc.

After the replacement of the FAF client, I was able to host a coop mission but my fun ended there because like I said... I couldn't play without an AI and I couldn't change the winning condition because it's not showing in the game options.

have you. uh. tried without ai. because the coop missions are not meant to work with ai, and even if you miraculously managed to get one in your game, it would do absolutely nothing because it has no markers.

I tried setting it up to Sandbox when I realized that there are no options for Sandbox... In fact, I can't set up the victory condition because it doesn't have any options to select from.

Here is a picture of the options menu, sorry I took a picture using my phone because the PrtScr isn't working properly. As you can see, in the Game Options, those are the only options I had.

Btw, I tried the second campaign if it's going to work (with AI ofc) but it got stuck again right before the map shows up.

You don't need to place any AI opponents since it is a scripted campaign Mission. Set the victory condition to Sandbox, x up, and launch.

you might first want to try without ai -- there are no ai markers, afaik, so the ai will be useless anyway

Coop Mission Error - Stuck in first cutscene of Mission 1

2016-06-25T20:09:47+02:00

Hello fellow FAFers,

I'm pretty new here but I have been playing FA and have been watching Gyle Cast for a few years. I finally got motivated to download FAF and got my friend to play with me. Lately we been doing lots of cheating AIX battle but I wanted to change things up a bit and tried the Coop Missions... but I encountered a problem.

I clicked the linked on the title where it says "Play Coop Here", I installed the application, and ready to roll. Unfortunately, my friend can't log in right now so I decided to play the first mission with an Easy AI for some testing. However, I got stuck in the first cutscene of Mission 1... the cutscene right before the UEF gate gets attacked by gunships.

Anyone know why this happened and how it could be fixed?

Thanks in advance!
